Cyberpunk-themed gaming ecosystem <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/pixelverse_xyz” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Pixelverse is launching a tactical deck-building game, 'MemeBattle', to incorporate popular cryptocurrency memes as playable characters.
The game will debut in January and will feature a roster of meme mascots from multiple blockchain projects. In the game, players will compete in strategic battles by forming squads of characters inspired by the well-known Internet and cryptocurrency culture.
The game will launch on Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 ethereum platform, chosen for its scalability, low transaction costs, and built-in wallet integration to create a more accessible experience for players.

MemeBattle revolves around creating squads of characters inspired by cryptocurrency memes and fighting opponents to earn rewards.
The game's initial lineup includes Base project mascots such as Brett, Toshi, Dog in Me, Keyboard Cat, and Mochi. Other blockchain-based characters will also appear, including Pudgy Penguins, Turbo, and Mew.
While the game is categorized as a deck builder, the characters will not be represented as traditional cards. Pixelverse has not revealed the exact game format, but stated that it will move away from conventional card mechanics.

Pixelverse gained recognition earlier this year with PixelTap, a Telegram minigame that attracted a wide audience. MemeBattle is the next step in its development process, designed to expand the company's presence in blockchain-based games.
The project has received funding from Gate.io's $50 million Meme Fund, which supports initiatives focused on memes and community-driven content in the crypto space. Additionally, investments from Delphi Ventures and Mechanism Capital have helped fund its development.
MemeBattle, which launches with 10 characters, aims to combine elements of internet culture with tactical gameplay. While more details about the game are likely to be released closer to its debut, this indicates continued experimentation at the intersection of cultural, gaming, and cryptocurrency trends.
