Orange Cap Games has taken over the rights to Moonbirds, a well-known NFT collection on Ethereum. The IP deal includes Moonbirds, Mythics, and Oddities.
Yuga Labs, the former owner, relinquished control as OCG took this bold move to expand its cryptocurrency gaming segment. OCG carved out a niche with Vibes TCG, a trading card game featuring Pudgy Penguins, and now it wants to do much more.
Moonbirds represents a tremendous opportunity for the company to broaden its outreach and engage both new and existing fans. According to the firm, digital products are supposed to achieve much more than simply entertainment.
OCG connects Moonbirds to Yuga’s World
They should create lasting ecosystems. Moonbirds had a quiet phase during the bear market. OCG hopes to change that. The crew will take the brand into gaming and new forms of interaction with people. The experience will be richer, more dynamic, and more valuable than before.
The firm also disclosed that Moonbirds avatars would be joining Otherside, a metaverse connected to Yuga Labs. The 3D avatars will facilitate exploring and building for the players. However, they’ll not be restricted to Otherside; Yuga wants designers to have a role in world creation too.
There is a clear strategy behind the technology. Any on-chain future development from this deal would either remain on the Ethereum mainnet or go to ApeChain if Layer 2 is involved, thus showing a close relationship to the larger Yuga Labs ecosystem despite ownership changing.
OCG and Moonbirds building forward
OCG treasures genuine products that people would want to use and keep. It seeks to build with purpose rather than the hype. The community consists of individuals who still believe in the possibilities of crypto, even after its disappointments.
The deal stayed under the radar until now. Very few knew it was even in the works. OCG says the next steps include public dialogue with partners, builders, and the Moonbirds community.
The team wants to carry the project forward into the new age while honoring its legacy. The world of crypto is constantly changing. Moonbirds has changed ownership, but its journey is still not over. OCG now holds the wings and is set to take off.
