Otherside Announces Project Dragon Episode 2, Set for August 29

Otherside has announced Episode 2 of Project Dragon set to launch on August 29 at 18:00 ET.

This episode marks the next step in the development of the 3D action game designed for large-scale team battles within the Otherside metaverse.

Following the initial release earlier this year, expectations are high for this second installment, which promises to address some of the issues encountered in the first episode whilst introducing new gameplay elements.

What is Project Dragon?

“Project Dragon” is a 3D action game set within the Otherside metaverse—a virtual world created by Yuga Labs.

The game focuses on large-scale team battles and requires players to own specific NFTs, such as those from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) or Otherdeed collections, to participate.

The game is part of a broader trend of integrating blockchain technology into gaming, allowing for decentralized ownership and interaction within the virtual environment. Otherside itself blends elements of traditional MMORPGs with web3 features, offering a unique platform for this type of gameplay.

Project Dragon: Episode 1

The first episode of “Project Dragon” was launched in the summer of 2024, introducing players to the virtual city of Meetropolis.

Whilst the event drew significant attention for its scale, it also faced technical challenges, including bugs and a lack of polish in certain areas.

Despite these issues, the game was generally well-received for its potential, and Yuga Labs has been transparent about the developmental stage of the game, indicating that it is a work in progress with ongoing updates planned​.

Improvements and New Gameplay Elements

Episode 2 is expected to build on the foundation of the first episode, with improvements aimed at addressing the technical issues that were encountered.

Although specific details about the new episode have not been fully disclosed, the focus will likely be on refining gameplay mechanics and enhancing stability. The episode is part of Yuga Labs’ broader strategy to iteratively improve the game, with each new release offering a more polished and engaging experience for players.
