Full Story

Some teasing is welcomed.

E.g. trailers for a new film or friendly banter between friends.

Some teasing is not welcomed.

E.g. the two years Jason Jammopoulus spent calling us 'chubb-lords' in middle school (...WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??).

Now...the teasing we've been getting from Yuga Labs over the past month or so? That teasing has been welcomed.

Since the launch of Yuga's Bored Ape 'Sewer Pass' NFTs, we've been wondering what those passes would be exchangeable for (outside of the game it gave access to).

We assumed it was the release of a new NFT series. But we didn't know for sure. Turns out, our hunch was correct.

On Wednesday, Yuga released its newest NFT collection 'HV-MTL' (☝️ those robot/box looking things pictured above), accessible to anyone holding a Sewer Pass NFT.

The HV-MTL (Heavy Metal) collection is made up of 30k "Evo 1" Mech characters, that will grant access to future games and content.

What will said games and content look like? No idea.

Which means we've come full circle, and are back in 'teasing territory.'

One thing is for sure:

The Yuga team sure knows their way around a hype cycle.
