Web3 action-shooter title Shutdown, backed by Morningstar Ventures, has seen its first NFT release – titled the Mongrel Collection – mint out, ahead of their upcoming token launch.
1,750 free-to-mint NFTs were available, and all were distributed, with over 1,000 Mongrel NFTs claimed through guaranteed spots on OpenSea.
Shutdown’s $FUSE token is set to launch later in 2024.

Shutdown is a cross-platform isometric shooter title. Developed by an experienced team of ex-Disney, Pixar and Ubisoft personnel, the action-packed game is built in Unreal Engine 5, with a focus on creating and maintaining a sustainable player-driven economy.
Holders of Shutdown’s Mongrel Collection NFTs will receive an array of benefits, including an airdrop of $FUSE tokens once live, access to exclusive in-game upgrades and better PvP and PvE rewards.
Shutdown entered Open Beta earlier this year, attracting over 4,000 weekly active players across a four-week tournament. Shutdown aims to be available on iOS and Android via the App Store and Google Play Store later this year.

The success of Shutdown’s inaugural NFT mint is even more impressive given current market conditions, with week-to-week NFT trading down by roughly 7% last Friday, according to reports.
On the flipside, the situation for cryptocurrency and tokens looks much brighter, with Bitcoin and Ethereum crossing all-time-highs as many coins hit peak trading volumes in June – encouraging conditions for the upcoming $FUSE token launch.
“Shutdown aims to host cross-play capabilities between mobile and PC with a data-driven approach that can seamlessly integrate a 4×4 economy system,” said Houston Song, Founder and CEO of Shutdown.
“We’re introducing new content, maps, features and customizations in-game every day – and the NFT sellout is proof of player adoption and another step in the right direction.”
