Derby Stars, the first triple AAA, play-to-earn (P2E) game built on the Polygon blockchain, plans to expand and welcome more players.
Developers behind the web3 horse-racing title announced it will hit mobile devices within the fourth quarter of 2023. In turn, players can expect a "seamless and inclusive" experience of the metaverse game, they added.
Derby Stars launched its full version on August 7, with positive reviews from critics and players. Aside from a mobile version, its creators will roll out new content and events. These included a "welcome gift box" for players joining the game.
Developers also confirmed that work had been underway for Derby Stars' first seasonal event. In it, players can compete for special prizes and trophies.
We're very proud and excited to unveil the much-anticipated game to the public after two years of development,
said Sean Hehm, Executive Director at Derby Stars.
However, the team still lies awake every night with thousands of ideas sparkling in their minds,
he added.
Horse racing lies at the core of Derby Stars. In the game, players can breed, grow, build, and trade their horses in a web3 world. They can also participate in seasonal races and earn real money and tokens.
Derby Stars has also introduced a new way to attract players to P2E games. It offered gamers a free-to-play option through its rental system. Players can rent horses from other users or lend their own horses to earn passive income.
This creates a win-win situation for both new and experienced players, as well as a vibrant and inclusive community,"
the developers explained.
Before the official launch, developers listed Derby Stars' governance token, $DSRUN, via an initial DEX offering (IDO) on the cryptocurrency exchange platform Bybit.
Derby Stars is available for download on their official website.
