Parallel Studios, the creators of the Ethereum-based card game Parallel, have revealed a new 3D shooter project titled Project Tau Ceti.

Unveiled at the Token 2049 event in Singapore, the game is designed to expand and complement the existing lore and gameplay, bringing the characters and themes of Parallel to life in a more immersive and interactive format.

Project Tau Ceti will use Unreal Engine 5 to bring the sci-fi world of Parallel into a fully realized 3D environment, whilst offering both traditional and blockchain gaming options.

What is Project Tau Ceti?

Project Tau Ceti aims to enrich the Parallel universe by introducing players to a new gameplay experience that goes beyond the card-based mechanics.

The game will feature a third-person shooter format, allowing players to explore the sci-fi world of Parallel through real-time combat on detailed maps. This expansion is intended to offer a different way to interact with the story and characters and aims to appeal to a broader audience.

Whilst the original Parallel game integrated blockchain elements at its core, Project Tau Ceti will offer these features as optional. Players can choose to mint in-game items like weapons and skins as NFTs, but this will not be a requirement to participate in the game.

The goal is to make the game accessible to a wide range of players, including those unfamiliar with blockchain technology.

When is the official launch?

Project Tau Ceti is currently under development with an alpha release targeted for 2025.

The initial launch will be on PC, with possible expansions to other platforms being considered. The announcement has generated interest within the Parallel community, which has a substantial user base. Further details about gameplay and storyline will be shared as development progresses.

Parallel Studios has indicated that Project Tau Ceti is part of a broader strategy to expand the Parallel universe across different media and formats with more updates expected to be released through the studio’s official channels in the coming months.
