  • Yuga Labs set a Guinness World Record with 2,197 players in Project Dragon, the largest online shooter event ever.
  • The event ran smoothly despite thousands playing via web browsers, with Yuga’s CEO thanking the community and partners.
  • Otherside’s “always-on” metaverse launches in June, featuring AI integrations, a development toolkit, and persistent islands.

The Otherside just made history. On Saturday, 2,197 gamers from across the Web3 world—Apes, Meebs, Kodas, Moonbirds, Voyagers, and degens alike—dove into Project Dragon and shattered the Guinness World Record for the most players in an online first-person shooter.

JUST IN: There are currently ~2,200 people playing @OthersideMeta right now

The Bored Ape Yacht Club’s hype-man-in-chief, Curtis, didn’t hold back after the first record-breaking round:

“We did it. We set the world record. Unbelievable. 2,000+ people. The Guinness man is crying salty tears right now. We are the Guinness now. Apes in charge!”

Check out The Bored Ape Gazette post to read more on the Otherside Guinness Record.

Project Dragon—How It All Went Down

Despite thousands of players flooding the game simultaneously, the event ran smoother than expected, considering almost everyone was playing directly through a web browser.

  • Five intense matches, packed with mayhem and celebration.
  • Yuga Labs CEO Garga took to X to thank the community & partners.
  • ImprobableIO played a major role in making Otherside’s vision a reality.

“THANK YOU to everyone who showed up to help us crush this world record by ~700 users,” Garga posted. “Been over four years since we started Yuga, lotta firsts since then. Today was a fun one.”

What’s Next for Otherside? A Persistent Metaverse Is Coming

The Otherside isn’t stopping here.

  • June 2025: Yuga Labs plans to launch the first iteration of its “always-on” Otherside metaverse.
  • Otherside Development Kit (ODK): A toolkit for Unreal-capable builders to create custom experiences.
  • AI-powered interactions & persistent islands: The Swamp, Meetropolis, and Nexus will be live 24/7.

“This is just a milestone. We’re setting up the foundation before expanding resources and artifacts,” Garga explained.

With record-breaking momentum and a packed roadmap ahead, Otherside is shaping up to be one of the biggest metaverse projects in Web3.

Stay tuned—the Apes are just getting started.
