The Makers of Parallel are Expanding Their Universe with Project Tau Ceti
Parallel Studios, the creators behind the Ethereum-based NFT card game Parallel, have announced an exciting new project: a 3D first-person shooter game codenamed “Project Tau Ceti.” The announcement was made during Token2049 in Singapore. Where the studio shared their vision for a sci-fi battle experience featuring their unique NFT avatars.
With over 300,000 users already engaged in Parallel’s dystopian world. Project Tau Ceti is designed to offer players a more action oriented experience. Named after Tau Ceti, a star located about 12 light years from Earth. The game aims to build on the rich sci-fi narrative established in the Parallel universe.
Project Tau Ceti Details
Utilizing Parallel’s rich library of 3D assets, Tau Ceti is being developed in collaboration with an unnamed third-party studio, leveraging the power of Unreal Engine 5. We expect this partnership to enhance the game’s visual quality and overall gaming experience.
While the development of Tau Ceti progresses, Parallel Studios remains committed to delivering updates to its card game and preparing for the upcoming Alpha release of Colony, another project set on the Solana blockchain.
The team has announced plans for Project Tau Ceti to enter early alpha testing on PC in 2025. With potential mobile and console versions to follow. As fans await the next evolution in the Parallel universe. Anticipation continues to build for what promises to be a thrilling addition to the gaming landscape.
Blockchain Integration
While Parallel has always integrated blockchain elements at its core. Tau Ceti takes a different approach by making these features optional. The designers created the game to be accessible to a broad range of players, including those unfamiliar with web3 technology. This means that players can dive into the shooter experience without the need to manage cryptocurrency wallets or gas fees.
However, for those interested in exploring the blockchain side. This game offers the option to mint in game items like weapons, skins, and characters as NFTs. These NFTs allow for ownership and interoperability across different gaming environments. Players can move assets between games or even lose them during gameplay. Adding an extra layer of challenge for those engaging with the Web3 elements.
