How to Start MetaCene

ByNFT Video Games Editorial Team

MetaCene is an MMORPG on Mantle — Post-apocalyptic open-world MMORPG in development since 2021 by Pangu Software (founded by ex-Shanda, Blizzard and Perfect World veterans). ~$17M raised, incl. a $10M Private A round in March 2024 led by Folius and SevenX with Animoca Ventures, Mantle and Spartan. Originally built on Rangers Sub-Chain. The honest entry cost: starting costs nothing, and a wallet is optional — only needed for the on-chain layer.

What MetaCene is#

An MMORPG from Pangu Software running on Mantle, playable on Android — early-access build live. Post-apocalyptic open-world MMORPG in development since 2021 by Pangu Software (founded by ex-Shanda, Blizzard and Perfect World veterans). ~$17M raised, incl. a $10M Private A round in March 2024 led by Folius and SevenX with Animoca Ventures, Mantle and Spartan. Originally built on Rangers Sub-Chain. The full record sits on the MetaCene registry profile.

Requirements#

  • Android — the game runs there.
  • A wallet on Mantle — a wallet is optional — only needed for the on-chain layer.
  • Access — Android early access free on Google Play (METACENE: ASCEND); wallet optional for NFT asset ownership/trading; earlier alphas ran on PC.

The start#

  1. Open the official site — metacene.io — reached directly, never via a DM or a search ad.
  2. Download and install the client the official site links — ignore mirrors.
  3. Look at the assets before spending — character NFTs, equipment NFTs, in-game tokens trade on MetaCene Marketplace; knowing the entry assets beats buying blind.
  4. Touch the token side last — earn/trade mechanics only matter once the base loop works for you.

What the NFT layer actually adds#

  • character NFTs, equipment NFTs, in-game tokens — the on-chain items the registry records.
  • Where they trade — MetaCene Marketplace.
  • Optional means optional — you can evaluate the game itself before any wallet ever opens.

Safety notes#

Only ever enter through metacene.io. Any game with a token or NFT attracts the usual kit: cloned domains, airdrop DMs, fake marketplaces. Reach metacene.io directly, double-check contract links against the official site or our registry profile, and treat in-game tokens as market assets — they move like them.
