Bathroom Blitz 8v8 shooter launching on Yuga’s Otherside platform this week

Hoping to ignite new life into its Otherside UGC platform, Yuga Labs has announced the launch of Bathroom Blitz.

Expected to roll out “later this week” as per the Bored Ape Gazette, Bathroom Blitz is a 8v8 deathmatch thirdperson shooter positioned in a single bathroom map in which players are tiny compared to the environment. It’s developed by Command Line, a game studio from Theia Interactive.

Command Line founder and BAYC member CryptoVonDoom commented, “Stoked to finally start letting some community members get an early quick chance at playing Bathroom Blitz, and can’t wait to open the doors to everyone next week.”

Built using Yuga Labs’ Otherside Development Kit (ODK), Bathroom Blitz is part of Yuga’s wider vision of creating a UGC-driven web3 metaverse platform powered by ApeCoin. 

Yuga co-founder Greg Solano, aka Garga, who was one of the inspirations behind the game, commented, “We are strong believers that modding and UGC is the biggest unlock for gaming and that web3 rails make a whole lot more sense than web2 will ever be able to do.”

In a recent AMA session on Discord, Solano emphasised that the goal of Otherside is to provide a platform where web3 creators including Yuga Labs and its partner developers can bring ideas to life. The overarching lore will unite these experiences featuring Yuga’s Koda NFT characters, “and the forces of creation and destruction known as Soma and Chaos”.

In line with that, Yuga is also preparing to launch its developer toolkit to Otherdeed holders “soon”.
