"Shiba Eternity," the first-ever collectible card game (CCG) of the Shiba Inu community, is now available to iOS users in Australia, and while fans in other regions are looking forward to the game's launch, SHIB's Kusama has hinted at a major info dump before the planned Download Day of the game.

The Shiba Inu development team rolled out the test version of the upcoming game "Shiba Eternity" in Australia on Friday. The game is currently available for testing to iOS users only but the team said the game will soon roll out on Google Play Store.

Shiba Inu pseudonymous lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, when asked if the game's test version will also launch in Europe, said that they believe "Australia is our last test location" and added that the next game launch would be on the Download Day. Another Twitter user asked, "The Turkish community is very excited for Shiba Eternity. When will they be able to download it from the App Store?"

To this, Kusama replied, "Soon. Next up is the entire world. Let's show these shadowcats we are a force. We're on schedule and I've said this is our last test location. This time soon is like.... honestly soon."

The lead developer also clarified that the Australia launch is "just for testing" and encouraged the Shib Army to "break the app stores" on "Download Day" - the day when the game would launch simultaneously in all regions. Unfortunately, the team has not yet revealed the schedule of the "Download Day."

Kusama, in another tweet also hyped the Shiba Inu community when they said that "Shiba Eternity" is "much more than a game." They also said they will "explain in detail right before Download Day," adding that "there will be a LOT to discuss as this is much more than a game, it's an offensive against the powers of evil attempting to destroy our Shiba Eternity!"

Last month, during Gamescom, Shiba Inu Game Alpha Director William Volk hinted at the possibility that the CCG game would release sometime in September. "It will come out probably in September for other regions, and we'll have a download day where we intend to get the ShibArmy to all download it," he noted. But he also clarified that "before we do the worldwide launch, we're going to make sure it's fully tested, and that includes handling a volume of users playing together."

For those still not familiar with the CCG "Shiba Eternity," GossipShib, a former Shiba Inu Growth member and a social media influencer, shared a brief video, available below.

"Shiba Eternity" is one of the many upcoming projects planned for the Shiba Inu community. As of 9:29 p.m. ET Sunday, SHIB, the native token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, was trading down 8.00% at $0.00001094 with a 24-hour volume of $296,272,296, according to the latest data from CoinMarketCap.
