Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs announced on Aug. 31 that it will roll out the open beta for its upcoming Otherside metaverse-based Legends of the Mara (LoTM) later this month.Next month we release the open beta for LoTM — and there’s much more to come. We’ve partnered with @farawaygg and are building a major expansion in Unity. But we want to get an early version in the community’s hands now so you can play and provide feedback while we keep building. https://t.co/g97MF6f3m8— Othersidemeta (@OthersideMeta) August 30, 2023


LoTM will expand on the lore behind Otherside by introducing a new foe to the metaverse dubbed “The Shattered” while also providing more background on the existing NFT Koda characters.


Despite Otherside being a 3D virtual world, Yuga has described LoTM as a collection-based 2D strategy game, which offers users a chance to utilize their virtual land plots to earn rewards and new NFTs.


The firm also stated the game will evolve over the coming months as it works towards a full launch.Mutant Ape fetches 500 ETH despite downtrend

The NFT in question is MAYC NFT #30002, which is the only token in the collection to have the Mega Zombie trait. It was snapped up by NFT whale and Taiwanese music celebrity Jeffrey Huang, also known as MachiBigBrother.


Despite its rarity, it certainly marks an eye-watering sale, given that Yuga Labs’ NFT projects have been facing significant downturns in 2023, with the MAYC floor price currently sitting at around 5.2 ETH ($8,500).MAYC NFT #30002. Source: OpenSeaNFL All Day NFT trading surges 570%

While it is hard to pinpoint a specific reason for that significant uptick in interest, the next NFL season is about to kick off on Sept. 7, while NFL All Day also recently introduced a novel feature for its tokenized player highlight NFTs.


On Aug. 26, the project unveiled “dynamic” NFTs that gradually update or evolve to showcase the player’s best highlights of the new season, adding an extra layer of interactivity with the tokens.NEW FOR THE 2023 SEASON
