In a recent development, the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s development branch has launched a fresh update for Shiba Eternity, the cryptocurrency’s card collectible game (CCG). The latest version, v1.2.8, known as “Balancing Act,” introduces a range of improvements to Shiboshis, focusing primarily on balancing their abilities. This indicates adjustments and fine-tuning to ensure fairness in gameplay. Advisor Mazrael shared an X post, welcoming players to explore the changes with the phrase, “See you in the Dogjo!”

Showcasing New Features

A Shiba Inu advocate, using a pseudonym, shared a brief clip highlighting the fresh additions of Shiba Eternity v1.2.8. This version introduces the ability to stun enemy cards with a frostfire blast, inflicting damage on adjacent fighters. Players now need “2 BARK tokens” to recover from attacks and receive two armors through the cybernetic boost feature, also costing 2 BARK tokens.

Additionally, a fee of 2 BARK tokens is required for trading other tokens within the game. The Shiba Eternity team remains dedicated to launching the play-to-earn version of the game.
