In a groundbreaking move for blockchain gaming, “Nyan Heroes,” a highly anticipated Solana-based battle royale shooter, is set to make its debut on the Epic Games Store. The game introduces a unique twist to the battle royale genre by featuring cats in mech suits battling for survival, reminiscent of popular titles like Fortnite and PUBG. The “coming soon” page on the Epic Games Store has already generated significant excitement within the Web3 sphere, even without a confirmed release date.
Nyan Heroes’ NFTs and Airdrops Gain Traction
Prior to its Epic Games Store debut, Nyan Heroes gained traction in the NFT arena with its Solana-based PFPs (Profile Picture Tokens). Experiencing a notable 17.6% increase in value within 24 hours, the game’s market cap reached $2,100,486 (22,216 $SOL) according to CoinGecko. Developer 9 Lives Interactive adds to the excitement with hints of an upcoming airdrop for the community, although the details, whether NFTs or crypto tokens, remain speculative. The game’s official Twitter account promises an “epic” airdrop in 2024, inviting the blockchain community to join the grand journey.

Solana’s P2E Scene and Nyan Heroes’ Role
Solana’s booming Play-to-Earn (P2E) gaming ecosystem, marked by a doubling $SOL token value since October, sets the stage for Nyan Heroes’ impact. The game joins the ranks of Ev.io, Stepn, and Aurory, contributing to Solana’s resurgence. As Nyan Heroes prepares for its Epic Games Store debut, it underscores the growing convergence of gaming, blockchain, and NFTs, offering a promising and engaging experience for players globally.
Nyan Heroes: Coming Soon to Epic Games Store
The Nyan Heroes team has announced the release of its upcoming PC battle royale shooter on the Epic Games Store, home to the massively popular Fortnite. The FAQ reveals that Nyan Heroes is a free-to-play, third-person hero shooter where intelligent cats pilot powerful mechs known as Guardians. While the use of NFTs is optional, the game’s team emphasizes their role as an ownership layer for certain digital assets earned or bought in the game. The Solana blockchain powers the game, requiring no external wallet but supporting collection via Phantom Wallet.
The official release date is yet to be announced, and the “coming soon” page indicates that it is in the Early Access phase, subject to changes over time. Nyan Heroes stands as a free-to-play game, inviting players to experience the fusion of feline prowess and futuristic battles.
Nyan Heroes Unveils Play-to-Airdrop Campaign
In a recent development, Nyan Heroes announces an exciting play-to-airdrop campaign tied to its upcoming early access release in February. The free-to-play PC game offers players the chance to earn NYN, the game’s native ecosystem token, through various activities during the early access playtests. Additionally, owners of Nyan Heroes NFTs will receive extra airdrop rewards, enhancing incentives for community participation.
NYN functions as an ecosystem token, accruing value through marketplace fees, mint fees, and studio revenue buybacks. With fixed supply and plans for regular token buybacks, NYN takes a deflationary stance, attracting players and investors alike.
Nyan Heroes: Security Breach on Discord and Team’s Response
Unfortunately, the game’s popularity led to a security breach on Nyan Heroes’ Discord server. A hacker spread malicious links, posing a threat to users’ NFTs and digital assets. In response, 9 Lives Interactive commits to compensating affected users for their lost Nyan Heroes NFTs, pending verification of previous ownership. This incident emphasizes the importance of robust security measures in the rapidly growing world of blockchain gaming. The team, along with an external security auditor, assures users that the breach was confined to Discord and did not affect any studio data.
Play-to-Airdrop by Nyan Heroes Campaign Running Until March
The play-to-airdrop campaign for Nyan Heroes is scheduled to run until March, covering early access playtests and associated activities. This limited-time opportunity allows players to join, earn NYN tokens, and experience the game before its official release. With its unique concept, exciting gameplay, and potential for earnings through its token ecosystem, Nyan Heroes is poised to make waves in the gaming world, attracting cat lovers and gamers alike.
Conclusion: Nyan Heroes — More Than a Game, an Ecosystem
Nyan Heroes transcends the boundaries of a conventional game, offering players the chance to be part of a dynamic ecosystem. With the upcoming play-to-airdrop campaign and planned developments, this Solana-based shooter game is set to captivate the gaming world, appealing to both cat enthusiasts and avid gamers. As Nyan Heroes readies for launch, it promises not only thrilling battles but also a pioneering experience in the intersection of gaming, blockchain, and NFTs.
