Excited already? We’re just warming up frens… Wait til you see what’s happening in the second hour! 👇

SECOND HOUR (3PM UTC - 4PM UTC)

First community playtest for Gotchiverse3D Aarena

Last Halloween, Gotchigang gathered for the first epic PvE experience in our 2D Phaser build of the Gotchiverse.

Now, just one year later, we're jumping into the 3D Unity version of the Aarena!

Get your first taste of 3D Gotchis while compete and climb the leaderboard. But watch out for the Lickquidators – they are SCARY!

The 3D Aarena is a completely different experience from the former Phaser build, and Game Director Andy Tudor couldn’t be more excited to showcase all the progress his team has made over the past few months.

…if things are going well, we may even get a sneak peek at the GOTCHIVERSE3D 👀

Can’t make it to the party? NP! The playtest will be continuing for an entire week before we shut ‘er down for some final polishing.

No matter your timezone, everyone will have a chance to play. In fact, we have some great prizes ready for those who want to play all week long.

It’s raining $GLTR on the Aarena leaderboard’s Top 20.

That’s the tl;dr of what to expect at Gotchigang Halloween 2023 frens! But it’s really only a preview. We look forward to having you there and making this the most ebic of all our Halloween parties.

But there’s ONE. LAST. THING. we dare not to forget!
