What is Hoverdrome?
Hoverdrome is the latest addition to the Unioverse gaming platform, inspired by popular titles such as Mario Kart and Rocket League. The game offers a fast-paced experience that challenges players in both racing and combat.
“Hoverdrome is an exciting addition to the Unioverse, combining the best elements of racing and competitive action,” said Tony Harman, Founder and CEO of Random Games, the company behind the Unioverse. “We’re excited to share this pre-alpha build with our community and look forward to hearing their feedback.”
A unique feature of Hoverdrome is the use of interoperable nfts, which allow players to use their digital assets across multiple games within the Unioverse ecosystem. The game is currently available in a pre-alpha version for Windows PC users.

Who is Tor Gret?
Tor Gret is the third hero introduced by Unioverse, following the previous releases of Krishah and Reyu, and has quickly become the most valued nft in the Unioverse collection.
On August 6, 5,000 units of this nft were minted in collaboration with Magic Eden. Owning a Tor Gret nft grants immediate access to Unioverse games, exclusive ecosystem benefits, and priority access to major events, with additional benefits for those who own the “Epic” or “Legendary” versions.
“Tor Gret is a game-changer in the Universe, not just as a character, but for what he brings to our community,” said Harman. “The minting event was a huge step forward for us, and we’re excited to see how our players will use and appreciate this unique hero.”
