Web3 gaming studio Funtico has announced the launch of $EV2, the token supporting its upcoming sci-fi MMO shooter Earth Version 2 (EV2). 40% of the fixed 2.88 billion token supply will be available to early buyers, marking the first public phase of EV2’s ecosystem rollout.
$EV2 serves as the core utility token within the game, used for equipment upgrades, marketplace transactions, and player rewards tied to in-game achievements. Purchases of over $1K will be awarded an additional 10% bonus in the form of TICO tokens.
Earth Version 2 takes place on a newly discovered planet where remnants of an alien civilization coexist with advanced human technology. The game blends large-scale combat with real-time shooter mechanics and offers a high level of character customization. Funtico has lavished meticulous attention-to-detail on graphics and gameplay with the goal of ensuring that EV2 can compete with mainstream PC and console titles as well as blockchain-first games.
Having focused on Avalanche for previous projects, Funtico has chosen Ethereum as the network for the $EV2 token to broaden reach and align the in-game economy with deeper liquidity and market visibility. After launch, EV2 will be playable on Funtico’s platform as well as on Steam and the Epic Games Store, with a planned console version further expanding accessibility.
In Earth Version 2, players begin by selecting from five character classes – Brute, Cloaker, Mag, Pathfinder, and Valkyrie – each offering unique combat functions ranging from defensive control to stealth attacks, support abilities, or tactical drone deployment.
Gameplay includes multiple competitive modes. In Oblivion, teams compete while the playable area continuously contracts, while Fracture is a 25-player FFA in which players race to find six colored cubes to unlock a relic. The first to seize the relic becomes visible to all and must survive a 5-minute countdown while being hunted.
The project is progressing through a structured release schedule. Current efforts are centered on gameplay testing and community onboarding. Partnership activity and ecosystem development are planned for Q1 2026, followed by the full game release and token generation event in Q2. Once live, EV2 will transition into an ongoing content model with tournaments and seasonal rewards, driving greater utility for the native token and in-game assets.
