Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) and Asus Metaverse have announced the launch of their new Web3 experience, “SL@SH206.”
The project offers a gamified cyberpunk-themed virtual world where players take on the role of an amnesiac robot — “ZEI-6” — in a society where “humanity has sought refuge in the virtual world.”
The experience is powered by artificial intelligence (AI), which helps generate new content and stories within the game. As players explore the virtual world, they can find virtual objects, trigger in-game events, and earn digital collectibles by completing various missions.
Future updates will also allow players to earn “Sparkle” points, which can be used to unlock identity rewards, including potential token airdrops.
The game is designed for a global audience, supporting both Chinese and English languages. Players can already join the game’s Discord community, where they can participate in mini-games to accumulate points and win rewards.
“SL@SH206” is part of Asus’ broader push into Web3. Asus first entered the space in 2022 with the launch of its first non-fungible token (NFT) platform, “Art Black Hole,” developed by Asus Metaverse. The platform was later rebranded as “Asus Metaverse Plaza.”
In 2022, alongside the NFT platform’s release, Asus partnered with Shudu, a digital supermodel created by The Diigitals Agency, for an advertising campaign promoting the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED.
In 2023, Asus Metaverse continued to build on its Web3 efforts by hosting an NFT contest that invited creators from around the world to submit their work, offering exclusive rewards to the winner.
