Shiba Inu’s official collectible card game (CCG), Shiba Eternity, has broken its radio silence after a lengthy 17-month absence from social media. The game’s official X account declared its return with a simple yet enthusiastic message: “We’re SO back.” This cryptic tweet has ignited excitement within the Shiba Inu community, sparking speculation about a potential major update.
Prior to this recent post, Shiba Eternity’s last X update dates back to February 11th, 2023. That communication focused on promoting the game’s features to attract new players. The extended silence that followed caused unease among Shiba Inu enthusiasts, who worried about the project’s status.
However, yesterday’s tweet suggests the Shiba Eternity team has been far from idle during this period. The message hints at a period of dedicated development behind the scenes, with exciting news to come.
Community Updates and Ongoing Development
While the official X account remained dormant, the Shiba Inu community received updates on the game’s progress through other channels. Team members like Mazrael and Lucie kept fans informed.
Following a successful launch in 2022, the mobile version of Shiba Eternity garnered a significant number of downloads. Building on this success, the developers are now focused on integrating the game with Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s native blockchain platform.
This transition involves crucial steps like bug identification and resolution. Notably, the team recently released version 1.2.8, which aims to balance the in-game effects of Boshi’s powers.
Beta Testing on the Horizon
Currently, the blockchain version of Shiba Eternity is undergoing rigorous internal testing. This paves the way for a closed beta testing phase slated for the latter part of 2024. Following a successful closed beta, the developers plan to open the testing process to the public.
The integration with Shibarium is a highly anticipated development within the community, as it promises exciting features like the ability to earn TREAT tokens through gameplay.
