Last Remains Joins Cointelegraph Accelerator

Blockchain-based gaming has gained momentum in recent years as the new sensation in the crypto-universe, to the point where blockchain gaming accounted for half of all blockchain activity by early 2023. As the trend expands, new players have joined the fray and are looking beyond the initial token collection and shift focus to game elements.

The latest and greatest games are built with the evolving needs of players in mind, taking into account the popular genres that captivate audiences, such as stealth and battle royale. On top of these, Last Remains is also looking to throw a zombie twist into the Web3 gaming scene.

Last Remains, a triple-A Web3 multiplayer battle royale zombie game that previously secured $4.75 million in funding from notable players in the crypto industry, including CoinFund, Fabric and Animoca Brands, has become the latest strategic partner of Cointelegraph Accelerator – the startup booster leveraging Cointelegraph’s media capabilities.

Developed by a team with previous experience from Riot Games, Bethesda, Junglee Games and Blizzard Entertainment, Last Remains seeks to take the much-loved formula and bring it to a new level of quality using Web3 technologies.

Staying true to the dynamics of the Battle Royale genre, players in Last Remains start the round at random locations in a zombie-infested city. While they begin with no real means of survival, the city map lacks lootable items, consumables, and weapons.

Combat-wise, the game offers a mix of Assassin’s Creed stealth action and PUBG’s iconic Battle Royale elements. Players can sneak up on the zombies, take them down with melee weapons, or rush in with guns blazing.

It’s up to the player to choose from a wide variety of weapons to suit their play style, from the iconic frying pan to the ever-popular katana. The ultimate goal is to survive until the rescue team picks up the winner from an ever-shrinking active map. Among the first three players to reach the pickup point, the one with the highest score – based on the loot and kills throughout the game – takes the round.

As part of the launch roadmap, the Last Remains team announced the minting of the first 5,000 Genesis Character non-fungible tokens. After the sale, the developers will spend the rest of Q2 conducting monthly alpha tests, followed by the beta phase next quarter.

The Cointelegraph Accelerator program supports upcoming Web3 startups and projects by providing exposure through Cointelegraph, the pioneering crypto and blockchain medium since 2013. The program chose Last Remains as a partner for its focus on gaming, high production quality, the strong support. the game has received, and the developers’ track records. As part of the Accelerator program, Last Remains aims to establish its brand in the competitive arena by partnering with content creators and game developers.
