Bored Apes’ masterminds, Yuga Labs, has transferred its gaming IP rights for ‘Legends of the Mara’ (LoTM) and ‘HV-MTL’ to Faraway to enhance the gaming experiences.

Backed by prominent investors such as Lightspeed, Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Faraway employs a skilled team of over 100 developers, designers, and producers.

Spencer Tucker, formerly Yuga Labs’ Chief Gaming Officer, has joined Faraway’s significant team as Chief Product Officer to “help guide Faraway in preserving the continuity and spirit of the original brand vision.”

The partnership between the two gaming ecosystems—initiated a year ago—has already produced ‘Dookey Dash: Unclogged’ and is actively developing ‘Legends of the Mara: Rise’.

Its latest goal, however, is to enhance the utility of HV-MTL and LoTM NFTs by ensuring better network interoperability and introducing an intriguing new rewards system. 

Faraway’s HV-MTL and LoTM Points System

In a recent update on X, Faraway highlights the critical need for Yuga Labs’ members to monitor their metadata as it introduces reward initiatives linked to Yuga’s games.

The post announces that HV-MTL players will soon receive points, with factors like “HV’s Class, Companion, and Powerscore” determining scores.

In Legends of the Mara, “All Kodas and Kodamaras will be receiving a new metadata field called LoTM Points,” despite Otherside Kodas staying with Yuga. The announcement says, “the Point Baseline will be determined by Asset Type (e.g., Mega Y/N, Weapo” Y/N, and Ability Type).”

Notably, participation in Faraway’s ecosystem activities, including Dookey Dash: Unclogged Season 1, will also include point rewards. 

Faraway’s acquisition of HV-MTL and LoTM is aimed at maximizing compatibility and “driving as much utility as possible to the primary NFTs that make up these collections,” marking exciting new chapters for both gaming titans.
