Crypto gaming franchise Pixelverse is launching a new tactical deck builder game that transforms popular cryptocurrency memes into playable characters, the firm announced Thursday.
MemeBattle will feature characters based on the mascots of Base network meme coins, including Brett, Toshi, Keyboard Cat, Dog in Me, Mr. Miggles, Mochi, Ski Mask Dog, and Mochi.
Players will be able to build squads using the meme coin-based characters and compete in battles to earn rewards. Characters from other crypto projects including Pudgy Penguins, Turbo, and Mew will also be featured. While the game lets players build decks of characters, they won't be represented in the game as cards, a Pixelverse representative told Decrypt.

The representative said that the game will launch in January with 10 playable meme coin characters in the initial release.
Base is a prominent Ethereum layer-2 scaling network launched by Coinbase, the popular crypto exchange. The upcoming game builds on Pixelverse's previous success with PixelTap, a Telegram mini-game that attracted millions of players earlier this year ahead of the project’s PIXFI token launch. Pixelverse also has its own, titular flagship metaverse game.
"Base offers a trusted, scalable platform with low fees and seamless wallet integration, making it the ideal choice for founders in Web3 gaming," said Pixelverse co-founder Kori Leon, in a statement. "We were excited to work with Brett and other leading meme coins as we're embracing their rise as digital cultural icons."
Pixelverse has secured funding from crypto exchange Gate.io's $50 million Meme Fund, which aims to support meme creators and community-focused projects. Pixelverse has also received backing from venture capital firms including Delphi Ventures and Mechanism Capital.
