Card Power at Play

But wait, there’s more! If you’ve been stacking NFT assets from the Cross the Ages trading card game, you’re in luck! These digital goodies can be brought into Arise, making your game experience even more interconnected. They’ve just hopped on the Solana train, jettisoning their Ethereum past like it’s yesterday’s news!

Alpha Testing: Get In or Get Out!

Mark your calendars, folks! From November 26 to December 10, you have the golden opportunity to try out the new version of Arise. Spread the word, rally your buddies, and dive headfirst into this chaotic funfest!

What Makes Arise Special?

Quentin Giraud, the CTO of Cross the Ages, boldly proclaims this game universe will let every digital asset strut its stuff across the world they’ve built. Imagine a gaming ecosystem where everything is connected—cards, weapons, lands—all playing nicely together. Get ready to unleash your inner power!

Two Flavors of Fun

This game has been brewing for about three years, and it’s about time for a taste test. Arise will deliver two game modes: a chill Exploration Mode for those who like to take it easy, and a Competition Mode to flex your skills and earn bragging rights. So whether you’re here for a quick gaming snack or an all-night binge, this game’s got you covered.

The Money Talk

And here’s some behind-the-scenes gossip: the crypto venture capital firm, Animoca Brands, has thrown down “several million dollars” to grab the CTA token this year. It’s all part of a grand strategy to boost Arise into the universe. Talk about a cosmic investment!

A Universe Beyond Gaming

According to Yat Siu, the vibrant co-founder of Animoca Brands, they didn’t just back another game—they’re backing a whole universe! And they’re loving every bit of it. With a strategic vision that embraces digital ownership and transmedia magic, Cross the Ages isn’t just a game; it’s a spectacle!

More Than Just Pixels

And just when you thought that was it, think again! Cross the Ages is linked to a gripping novel series, already spinning tales in its first of seven books. Written en français (fancy, right?), it lays down a dystopian narrative serving as a reflective “mirror” to our society. Keep your eyes peeled for the second book next year, along with some cool merch and an album that you can vibe to on Spotify!

Final Thoughts

As we gear up for this adventure, one thing is clear: Arise promises to redefine the gaming landscape with its unique blend of community engagement and immersive storytelling. Time to grab that controller (or mobile!) and let the gaming magic unfold!
