Nyan Heroes: Epic Games Store's Newest Web3 Battle Royale
Join the unique world of Nyan Heroes, a new battle royale shooter featuring mech-suited cats, launching soon on Epic Games Store.
The Nyan Heroes team has announced their upcoming PC battle royale shooter, set to release on the Epic Games Store. While the official release date is yet to be revealed, a "coming soon" page has already generated excitement among gaming enthusiasts.
Nyan Heroes joins the ranks of renowned battle royale shooters like Fortnite and other Web3 games like Gods Unchained. The battle royale genre is known for its large-scale maps and survival gameplay, where players compete to be the last standing in shrinking play areas. Nyan Heroes has a distinct theme, featuring feline heroes controlling powerful mech suits in high-stakes combat scenarios.
Nyan Heroes: Expanding Community Reach with Epic Games Store
By securing a listing on the Epic Games Store, Nyan Heroes aims to expand its community reach. The store's wishlist feature can boost visibility and propel the game to the forefront as more users express interest.
The game's store page provides insights into Nekovia and its world and outlines its core gameplay elements. Nyan Heroes will initially enter an early access phase, with specific system requirements yet to be disclosed.
Nyan Heroes: Exploring the World of Nekovia
The game presents cute, retro-style 3D cyberpunk characters. The characters also serve as NFTs, integral to the game's economy. Developed using the Unity engine, the game features crisp 3D graphics, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world, Nyan Heroes showcases cats engaged in intense warfare. Players can trade accessories, skins, and weapons for their Nyan heroes and Guardian Robots as NFTs, adding a strategic element to character upgrades and increasing their value in the game's marketplace.
Nyan Heroes introduces an intriguing tokenomics system where owning more Nyans strengthens players in the game. Players can earn $NYN (Nyan) tokens through airdrops, battles and campaigns or purchase them directly. The game's economy operates on $CTNP (Catnip) tokens, enabling players to acquire new weapons, upgrade equipment, and buy virtual land plots. Leveraging the Solana blockchain, the game aims to ensure a stable in-game currency environment.
Update
Nyan Heroes officially shut down in May 2025 after failing to secure enough funding to continue development, despite strong community interest and multiple playtests.
