Cross The Ages Introduces Token Staking for Weekly Airdrops

Players of Cross The Ages can now stake $CTA tokens to qualify for weekly airdrops, which include powerful Special Rare (SR) cards.

  • The amount of $CTA tokens staked by players directly determines the number of SR cards they receive weekly, enhancing their strategic options in the game.

  • Elemental SR cards, included in the weekly airdrops, boast unique and powerful abilities that significantly enhance gameplay (especially within the Arise Lands system).

  • Meanwhile, players holding a mint pass benefit from a 50% reduction in staking costs and the ability to stake higher amounts of $CTA, leading to a more significant accumulation of SR cards each week.

  • As gameplay progresses, gamers can also earn Gaming Points to unlock additional SR cards.

Aavegotchi Introduces 3D Wearables to Boost Game Dynamics

Aavegotchi has successfully converted over 300 wearable items and 20 eye shapes from 2D to 3D, enhancing the game’s visual appeal and functionality as the Gotchiverse3D launch approaches.

  • The newly converted 3D wearables seamlessly blend into the Unity platform, enhancing both visuals and functionality.

  • Transitioning to 3D modifies Aavegotchis' looks and traits like energy and aggressiveness, with exclusive sets adding gameplay bonuses.

  • Aavegotchi plans to allow exporting of 3D characters as GLB files and their use in virtual and augmented reality, broadening metaverse integration.

  • New features are also being developed to use 3D Aavegotchis in video calls, complemented by animations for rare wearables to boost game engagement.

Illuvium Launches Trio of Interconnected Games on Epic Games

Illuvium has officially released three interconnected games on the Epic Games Store, all built on the Ethereum scaling network Immutable X.

  • The games span genres from open-world survival to auto-battling and city-building.

  • In Illuvium: Overworld, the first release, players engage in an open-world survival adventure where they capture mythical creatures known as Illuvials.

  • Illuvium: Arena, the second installment, is a strategic auto-battler leveraging the Illuvials captured in Overworld.

  • For the third title, Illuvium: Zero, players find themselves in a city-building game that integrates with the economic systems established in the previous games.

  • A play-to-airdrop campaign was initiated after extensive beta testing, providing early participants with game points and potential crypto rewards.
