Yuga Labs, the team behind the popular Bored Ape NFT collection, announced on Wednesday (17th) that they will be collaborating with game studio Faraway to release a new version of their survival challenge game Dookey Dash in the first quarter of this year titled “Dookey Dash Unclogged”.
Unlike the previous version, Dookey Dash Unclogged will be available for all players to play for free, with players who own Yuga Labs-related NFT series such as Bored Apes, Mutant Apes, Kodas, Bored Ape Kennel Club, and HV-MTL Forge being eligible for “token rewards” through the game.
In the game visuals released by Yuga Labs, the symbol of their native token ApeCoin (APE) appears, hinting that the token may be rewarded in the game. However, a Yuga Labs representative reportedly declined to disclose details on this aspect, according to Decrypt.
The new version of the game will be released on systems including iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, indicating that it will not be a web-based game like before.
An overseas influencer known as “The Fortnite Guy” participated in the game testing for the new version of Dookey Dash and Yuga Labs’ game committee. He stated on Tuesday that the game is expected to be released in mid-February, with specific Yuga NFT holders potentially earning more NFTs through the game. Additionally, he revealed that another Yuga game is expected to be released in April.
