Embarking on the next stage of development, Studio 369 kicks off its eagerly-awaited Closed Beta phase to gather community feedback; sets the date for Genesis Infantry Snapshot — offering exclusive rewards and in-game quests for early holders

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Studio 369, an innovative next-gen game studio building the highly anticipated first-person shooter (FPS) MetalCore, today issued an official “Call to Arms” to players as the studio prepares for the game’s next milestone moment. Currently in production with global web3 developing and publishing leader Immutable Games, Studio 369 has confirmed the next MetalCore Closed Beta period, “Call to Arms,” an invite-only playtest that provides early fans a first-hand look at the updated game build in an adrenaline-pumping adventure.

The “Call to Arms” Closed Beta begins on February 26 at 3 pm PST, kicking off 24-hour game access and featuring a dynamic missions system, new rewards and daily in-game quests with bonuses for top performers. Players will be able to roam freely in a vast open world – seamlessly blending PvE missions with risky PvP encounters, all while seizing the opportunity to loot, craft, and upgrade weapons and mechs. But that’s not all – players can gain access to even more in-game rewards and exclusive access by picking up a MetalCore Genesis Infantry NFT – a collection of 10,000 unique and playable Infantry NFTs, built with a wide variety of traits, and with varying levels of rarity. Genesis Infantry, secured and held by players before Feb 29th at 3 PM PST, will also be playable in the next Closed Beta cycle.

“This Closed Beta playtest signifies an important development milestone for Studio 369 – it is really the first opportunity for us to introduce players to the MetalCore economy and deep and extensive mechanics we have been building,” said Studio 369 CEO Matt Candler. “As experienced and accomplished developers our mandate is that we deliver exceptionally fun gameplay, alongside a well designed and balanced economy. We’ve already received many accolades and positive feedback in MetalCore from investors and players alike.”

“Call to Arms” is the first of several key moments players can expect from MetalCore in the coming months as Studio 369 prepares for the game’s public Open Beta launch, currently anticipated for Spring 2024. Recently confirmed, MetalCore is also slated to be one of the first playable titles to go live on Immutable zkEVM, a groundbreaking advancement in blockchain gaming technology that offers EVM compatibility, low costs, massive scaling capabilities, and enterprise-grade security.

With more than 80,000 fans and players anticipating the game’s release, MetalCore has already collected multiple awards and accolades from notable web2 and web2 gaming organizations including Naavik and GAM3S.gg, as well as global technology and innovation leaders like the Bold Awards.

January 1, 2025

The pioneering brand making foam products with algae and recycled foam has cleaned over 1m+ gallons of water, removed 1.3k+ tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and removed 7.9k+ pounds of plastic from the ocean.

NAPLES, Fla., Jan. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Oceanfoam, an active lifestyle brand committed to sustainability, announces it has achieved a carbon positive status going into 2025. A newcomer in the fitness and wellness industry, the sustainable company is poised to continue simultaneously revolutionizing the fitness industry and helping the planet, making a significant environmental impact and raising awareness. The company designs fitness products made with Bloom algae and recycled material. In addition to foam rollers, Oceanfoam has released workout and yoga mats, wave ball rollers and workout blocks.

By prioritizing sustainability in the development of each item, Oceanfoam has made a significant environmental impact. The brand has cleaned over 1,026,896 gallons of water, removed 1,319.91 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and removed 7,947 pounds of plastic from the ocean. The algae used is harvested from North America’s overabundant supply (due to the rise of global temperatures), thus helping to clean the water and reduce the amount of carbon released into the air.

“We’ve been working on this for a year since we launched and Oceanfoam is now officially carbon positive!,” said Founder Zachary Quinn. “We believe products can be more than objects. Foam rollers live in our living rooms, bedrooms, offices, gyms and workout studios; they need to look good and make you feel good. We set out to design a foam roller that you didn’t have to put in your closet, and now we’ve made it one that you can be proud of.”

Oceanfoam achieved its carbon positive status through the following:

Algae-Based Materials: Producing products with Bloom Materials reduces plastic consumption while capturing carbon and cleaning water through removing algae from the environment.Carbon Offsetting: Partnering with Climate Partner, the team offset the remaining carbon emissions from all of its production and shipping to ensure its operations go beyond carbon neutrality.Ocean Plastic Cleanup: Through collaborations with 4Ocean and Ecodrive, the brand actively contributes to cleaning up plastic waste from the world’s oceans, helping to protect marine ecosystems. With every order, one pound of ocean plastic is removed.

This certification and offset will also add a “Climate Pledge Friendly” badge to all of Oceanfoam’s products on Amazon, alerting consumers of products that have sustainability features recognized by trusted certifications. For more information, visit oceanfoam.com.

Oceanfoam creates high-quality, durable and beautiful active lifestyle products with algae and recycled materials to create a healthier, cleaner environment – where beauty and function meet sustainability.
