Ethereum-Based Altcoin Leaps 15%+ in Hours After Announcement of a Free-To-Play Game for the Ecosystem

By Daily Hodl Staff

One of the top memecoins in recent years is rallying after the announcement of a new free-to-play blockchain game.

ApeCoin (APE), a memecoin associated with the Bored Ape Yacht Club non-fungible token (NFT) collection, APE hit a high of $1.67 and a low of $1.44 on January 17th – a difference of approximately 16%.

APE has since stabilized at $1.59 at time of writing, still up 10% in the last 24 hours.

According to the Yuga Labs Gaming account on the social media platform X, a new game is coming out soon.

“Looks like Curtis needs to get the plunger out, there’s something in the toilet.

Dookey Dash Unclogged, coming Q1 2024. This time anyone can play.”

ApeCoin DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) owns and operates Yuga Labs, the maker of the upcoming game.

According to a video on the game’s official website, the game appears to be a racer involving avatars speeding vehicles through racecourses of plumbing pipes and sewage drains. It is the sequel of a previous game, titled “Dookey Dash.”

“Dookey Dash Unplugged (DDU) is a casual, free-to-play, cross-platform game that is a continuation of the beloved original Dookey Dash, with some new delights. (New here? Basically, the OG Dookey Dash was a dash through the sewers, as players dodged cows and trash in an attempt to make it to the butthole key. It’s kind of a long story.)”
