Blockchain gaming firms Faraway and Novel Labs have teamed up to create Serum City, a city-building game set in the Yugaverse of the Bored Ape Yacht Club and the Mutant Apes.
Faraway is a developer of one of the largest blockchain games, Mini Royale: Nations, while Novel Labs is a community developer of the Mutant Cartel, which consists of many people who bought the Mutant Ape non-fungible tokens (NFTs) from Yuga Labs.
The two firms are collaborating on Serum City, an episodic city builder set in the Yugaverse, which has more than a dozen character universes now. Serum City takes players into a dystopian world showcasing a class divide between the ruling class, the Bored Apes, and the Mutant Apes, who were cast to the outskirts of society after taking the Serum.
Inhabited by the Mutant Cartel, an infamous group of Mutant Apes who formed an alliance in the shadow of the Yacht Club, Serum City is an extension of the Mutant Cartel Expanded Universe. The story is focused on the rise of Blaksoot and Darkfang.
