Latest Rumble Kong League News

Rumble Kong League (RKL) introduces the Prestige System, a novel reward mechanism that enhances the earning potential of players based on their owned collections.

The Deets

• Prestige Multiplier: The new system uses prestige as a bonus multiplier for players' earnings.

• Future Plans: Special run partnerships are hinted at, potentially expanding prestige benefits further.

This reward mechanism promises to enhance the gameplay and earning potential for players, all dependent on the collections they own.

The Prestige System introduces a 'Prestige Multiplier,' which acts as a bonus multiplier to player's earnings. The higher the prestige, the higher the multiplier, increasing the in-game earnings of players.

This system comprises four Prestige Levels. Each level corresponds to a particular collection, with the highest level reserved exclusively for Rumble Kongs. Furthermore, RKL has suggested potential collaborations that could extend these benefits in the future.

A unique twist in this system is the additional bonus for 'Rare Furs.' Characters boasting these rare traits will receive extra prestige, on top of their collection's level. This means a rare fur Kong will enjoy the maximum multiplier, with similar logic applied to other collections, such as Rookies.

🔜 What's Next?

RKL hinted at possible special run partnerships that could broaden the scope and rewards of this system.

🧐 Wait, What?

Think of prestige in RKL like a loyalty program at your favorite store: the more you own and participate, the more rewards (multipliers) you earn. And if you own something really rare, like a limited-edition product, you get extra benefits.

Rumble Kong League announced the kick-off of a pre-alpha phase of their upcoming game in December, according to a Wednesday tweet and blog release. 

RKL is looking for testers for December's Pre-Alpha Focus Groups, where users will try the game and attend a Q&A with the team. Those interested can sign-up here, with a special airdrop mentioned for those who participate.

A broader 'Community Pre-Alpha' will begin testing in early 2023 with 'a smaller group of Kongs and Rookies', with users playing a basic experience to gather feedback on core gameplay.

Rumble Kongs currently hold a 0.5199 ETH floor, down 4% over the last seven days. 

Rumble Kong League detailed more of its gameplay mechanics in an update of its RKL Playbook Tuesday.

The project ran through three variables that can change how each Kong plays in each game: boosts, stamina, and player position.

Boosts

Each Kong will have four boosts: defense, finish, shooting, and vision. Each boost will improve the probability that a Kong will be successful in a single action.

"Although incredibly important, very few actions in the game will be 100 percent determined by the boost level. There will always be an element of skill and luck involved in every game," the project said.

Stamina

Stamina, which will refill over time and with consumables, will affect a Kong's performance and will need to be managed by holders.

Player positions

Each Kong will have an ideal position based on its boosts:

Rumble Kong League upgraded animations for the hoops in its Athlos Play Arena, according to a tweet from the project. 

The announcement includes a teaser video and a plea for additional community feedback and customization requests. 

The animation upgrades come just a few weeks after Rumble Kong League announced a major new tournament in partnership with Galaxy Fight Club that will feature nearly $200,000 in prizes. 

The project ranks number 10 in our gaming power rankings at the time of writing. 

Be on the lookout for more updates on the specific schedules for the tournaments. Rumble Kong League will be hosting a Twitter Space on Thursday to go over specifics and allow community members to come with questions on how they will be able to participate in future tournaments.

For more information and some images of the prototypes, check out the RKL substack article. The current floor price for Rumble Kong League NFTs is 0.44 ETH at the time of this writing.

A snapshot will be taken on August 19 and holders will have the opportunity to buy a physical Rumble Kong League X Round21 basketball. Collectors will be able to go to the Round21 website and connect their Kong wallets to purchase the physical ball.
