The development arm of the Shiba Inu ecosystem has released a new update for Shiba Eternity, the cryptocurrency’s card collectible game (CCG).
Latest Features in Shiba Eternity
According to an X post shared by Shiba Eternity advisor Mazrael, the team has released v1.2.8, dubbed “Balancing Act.” The update brings a plethora of enhancements to Shiboshis, especially balancing its powers.
This suggests that the developers tweaked and modified the abilities of the Shiboshis collectibles to ensure fairness within the game.

In a follow-up post, a pseudonymous Shiba Inu advocate shared a short clip showcasing the new features that came with Shiba Eternity v1.2.8. In the latest version, players can now stun the target’s enemy card using the frostfire blast, causing damage to its adjacent fighters.
Recovering from attacks in the upgraded version requires “2 BARK tokens.” Also, players will receive two armors when they use the cybernetic boost feature at the cost of 2 BARK tokens. Furthermore, players will be required to pay a fee of 2 BARK tokens to trade other tokens within the game.

Ongoing Development of Shiba Eternity P2E Version
The Shiba Eternity team has been working relentlessly to release the play-to-earn version of the game. This involves releasing important upgrades to fix some technical issues and also enhance its performance.
Last month, developers unveiled the first internal build of Shiba Eternity. It resolved certain issues associated with some cards, like Stealth Fighters and Princess Andromeda’s interaction with the game.
These updates are rolled out in preparation for the beta testing, which is expected to commence before the end of this quarter. Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama confirmed that beta testing of the P2E version of Shiba Eternity would commence in Q2 2024.
For the uninitiated, Melbourne-based PlaySide Studios developed the first version of Shiba Eternity, which was released on October 6, 2022.
The game features a Japanese martial arts theme heavily inspired by the Shiba Inu ecosystem. According to CNBC, Shiba Eternity is equipped with 10,000 Shiboshi heroes, 500 collectible cards, six core traits, and 32 passive powers.
At the moment, the game is undergoing intensive in-house testing as developers continue to identify and resolve all glitches in preparation for the beta testing.
