KOMPETE Raises the Game: Basketball is Coming!

San Diego, CA — July 31, 2025 — KOMPETE, the revolutionary metaverse online gaming platform that's already shaking up the multiplayer world, is about to raise the stakes once again. Get ready to step onto the court with our cutting-edge basketball experience, currently in development.

Building on our signature style and the realistic graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, KOMPETE Basketball promises gameplay that's not just immersive, but electrifying. Players can look forward to mastering precision jumpshot timing, unleashing elite finishing moves, pulling off flashy dribble combos, and locking down opponents. Both 3v3 and 5v5 game modes will redefine what gamers expect from online hoops.

Basketball is just the beginning. On KOMPETE, you can already jump into:

  • Blitz Royale: A fast-paced battle royale featuring exosuits, aggressive respawns, and nonstop action.
     
  • Kart Race: High-octane racing with weapons, wild tracks, and plenty of mayhem.
     
  • Social Deduction: A thrilling murder mystery that blends strategic deduction with intense combat.
Why basketball? Because it's about damn time someone brought competition back to the court. There hasn't been a serious, free-to-play, multiplayer basketball simulation to challenge the status quo until now. We're not just filling the void; we're coming for the throne.

"NBA 2K has dominated long enough," said Dastro, founder of KOMPETE. "We're done paying $70 every year for incremental updates. KOMPETE Basketball will deliver the deep gameplay basketball fans crave, completely free, and playable across PC, mobile, and consoles."

Stay tuned as we prepare for the alpha rollout in late 2025 or early 2026. Meanwhile, join the growing community and follow the development journey on our socials:
