Shiba Eternity, the highly anticipated Shiba Inu-themed card battle game, has hit unexpected hurdles in its development. According to Lucie, the project’s marketing executive, the exact nature of these challenges has not been disclosed, but the team is actively working to resolve them. Despite the delays, the developers are committed to delivering a refined gaming experience for the community.

The development of Shiba Eternity towards its next phase has been slower than expected because of some problems that were not foreseen during the development process. Lucie has reassured the fans that the team is determined to address these issues, and she added that quality is still the team’s major concern. Despite the fact that the details of the problem have not been disclosed, the team continues to inform the community and promises more information in the near future.

Closed Beta Testing Refines Gameplay Experience

The recent communications of the project have been centered on the management of expectations as well as the enthuse of its players.  In her message, Lucie emphasized that the team is working very hard to make the game even more prepared for the general public.

Shiba Eternity is currently in the closed beta phase, which is a vital stage of a game’s development. Developers are able to fix the bugs, collect feedback from players, and make sure the game is ready for release. This test phase is a common practice in the game industry with the purpose of improving the game and increasing the players’ satisfaction. The information that will be collected at this stage will help in the final development of the game.

Among the most anticipated additions is the introduction of Sheb, a Shiba Inu-inspired character introduced in 2024, who is expected to play a significant role in the game’s breeding aspect.

Sheb Character Prepares to Join Shiba Eternity

Lucie has noted that Sheb integration will be a major component of Shiba Eternity, however it will be implemented gradually. The phased approach also suggests that the development team is planning to gradually blend the two aspects in order to achieve a balanced and engaging gameplay.  Specific details about how Sheb’s breeding mechanic will function remain limited, but it is expected to add a layer of strategy and personalization to the game.

LUCIE has also recently disclosed on X that it plans to launch a new stablecoin called SHI, which is a major development inside the Shiba Inu family. This financial product is expected to improve the Shibarium network, but the launch date has not been set yet.

The concept of the stablecoin can be dated back to 2021 when Ryoshi, the founder of Shiba Inu, presented it. At that time, the stablecoin was designed to feature a value of $0.01. However, it was never clear how exactly this peg would be reached in terms of the percentages. 

Over the past 24 hours, SHIB surged by more than 11%, reaching a two-month high of approximately $0.00001717. This price increase has propelled Shiba Inu’s market capitalization to surpass $10 billion for the first time since late July, positioning it as the 15th largest cryptocurrency in the market.
