"These intelligent robots (DOTs) are by far our most ambitious project since PUNKS Comic Issue #1, and innovation takes time. I'm confident the experience will not only be fun, but also healthy for our ecosystem. It's time to show, not tell, and you will see for yourself beginning this fall" (source: MetaHero Universe Update, 18 Aug 2022)

Generative and Core Identity digital tokens will default to the latest artwork on marketplaces; however, the PV Classics style will remain publicly viewable."

Release of short/long form content for Inhabitants Universe by Blur Studio:"We are working on world-building and the development of scripts to ultimately tell the stories of the MetaHero Universe in a manner inspired by Love, Death, & Robots — shorter form and open to many different artistic interpretations. we expect the longer form content to take quite some time — about a year based on our more aggressive goals — but we will be releasing teasers, concept art, and keeping the community engaged along the way."
