ParallelAn NFT trading card game where assets are minted Ethereum and the scaling network Base will make the long-awaited move into open beta on Thursday, February 29, so everyone can jump in and start playing the competitive PC game.
Previously only available in a closed beta, Parallel:GG’s pick for the best game of 2023– builds on the foundations of genre giants like Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, but with some fresh wrinkles and a signature space opera setting.
The developers of Parallel announced the upcoming launch via a blog post on Wednesday, noting that a game update had been released with several gameplay tweaks and content additions before the gates were opened to the public.
‘The time has finally come. The open beta release of our baby into the world,” the message reads.
According to the team, the update lacks substantial balance changes as they have focused on optimizing the PC gaming client. But beyond that, they say that “the game is pretty healthy,” and that they think it feels pretty balanced at the moment.
“We think there’s still a lot of room to explore in the current meta, and we’ll all be surprised what happens as more heads get into the game and build decks,” the post adds. “Good luck and welcome to the beginning of the story.”
Parallel game servers are back online and Patch 0.27 is live!
