OneCool Collective debuts “Warriors of Future” NFT collection

OneCool Collective has launched its first “Warriors of Future” NFT collection. Inspired by the movie’s powered armor, the collection consists of 10,000 unique 3D avatars featuring four types of soldiers, which will be minted on 6 August 2022.

Warriors of Future is a multi-million-dollar Hong Kong science fiction action movie produced by Louis Koo, directed by visual effects artist Ng Yuen Fai in his directional debut and stars Louis Koo, Sean Lau and Carina Lau. The film is set in the future where Earth is devoid of life due to climate change and pollution, while a meteorite brings an extraterrestrial life to our planet. The movie took six years to produce, and is set for theatrical release in Asia this year. 

Warriors of Future is a pioneer in adopting an innovative interchangeable mechanism in their NFT collection, allowing holders to interchange traits within the NFTs they hold. There are five interchangeable parts including weapon, armor body, arms, helmet, and the background, which will be reflected in real-time in the NFT marketplace. The holder will also be able to use their NFT in action as an avatar in the upcoming Warriors of Future mobile game. OneCool Collective’s Warriors of Future NFT, powered on the Ethereum blockchain, looks to support new enriching experiences and provide exclusive utilities to users by holistically merging virtual and physical worlds. 

In addition to the NFT launch, the campaign also engages with fans through a series of AR activations, and phygital sales of movie merchandise, that allow for interaction and deployment of the virtual collectibles in the OneCool ecosystem. The aim is to create a OneCool community that will empower and elevate Entertainment and Movie IPs through Web3 integration. 

Ella Wong, chief financial officer of One Cool Group, said: “We are so excited to unlock the limitless potential of the entertainment industry powered by blockchain for our next-gen users. Our upcoming film titled Warriors of Future serves as a pioneer in such a collaboration, which allows us to explore more possibilities in the future. We look forward to connecting the best of the entertainment industry in ways and experiences that were not possible before.”
