AbstractArt’s Play-to-Earn Racing Game Music Racer 2000 is Coming to Ultra Games
This will be the first in a line of play-to-earn games coming to Ultra’s platform.
Tallinn, Estonia – 20th January, 2022: Ultra and AbstractArt have unveiled a brand new partnership that will see the play-to-earn racing game Music Racer 2000 head to Ultra Games, being the first of many play-to-earn games coming to Ultra.
The Ultra ecosystem for gamers and developers, making use of blockchain technology, allows players to sell and trade digital goods that developers put on the platform, including games, DLCs, and virtual items. As an extension of this principle, Music Racer 2000 will feature unique cars to race, buy, and sell, with players having the opportunity to win in-game rewards and prizes using their NFT supercar. Players can even rent their car out to other players and upgrade it with customisable prizes.
The sequel to AbstractArt’s debut title Music Racer, this new game will let players bring cars and music to life by speeding through the fantasy track or flying into the space tunnel alongside chosen music, gathering beats and chasing the rhythm.“Music Racer is a game that is enjoyed by millions of players all around the world and it was extremely important that we found an appropriate platform to work with as we venture into the blockchain gaming space. After hearing Ultra’s vision, it did not take long for us to come to a decision that Ultra is the ideal partner to help build out our NFT Play-to-Earn (Music Racer 2000) and we’re incredibly excited about the future,” said Pavel Foxx, Lead Game Developer at AbstractArt.
Music Racer 2000 will see the green light for release in May 2022 on Ultra Games. Players will be able to use Ultra’s marketplace functionality alongside the game when the app is launched, which will allow players to buy and sell digital goods like weapons, mods, skins, and more.
Unlike other major blockchain networks, Ultra is conscious of its environmental impact and is actually certified Carbon Neutral from Natural Capital Partners. In fact, Ultra’s blockchain is over two billion times more energy efficient than Bitcoin, emitting only 0.00000037 kg of CO2 per transaction. With only 23.5 tonnes of CO2 emitted per year, Ultra then offsets 277 tonnes of CO2 per year, delivering incredibly low power consumption and responsible blockchain pioneering.
Ultra also boasts a 12% distribution fee to benefit developers, who can make use of Ultras cross-platform SDK to turn virtual goods into NFTs that can be resold by consumers based on developer-set parameters like resale permissions rules, commission fees, quantity limitations, and geographic restrictions.
