“Cross the Ages” (CTA), a free-to-play game featuring NFT digital trading cards, announced Monday that it has made a $12 million initial round at a valuation. Proceeds from the funding will go towards the game’s development program, talent retention and go-to-market activities.
Investors in blockchain game Cross the Ages include gaming-focused crypto investment firm Animoca Brands, major game publishers Ubisoft, Polygon, and Sebastian Borget, co-founder and COO of The Sandbox.
In January, the number of active blockchain games doubled from the previous year to nearly 400. Crypto exchange giant FTX announced that it was launching its own gaming unit in February, and last week it had acquired the game’s maker, Good Luck Games.
‘Cross the Ages’ Universe
“Cross the Ages” is a mobile free card game set in the dystopian future based on a series of novels. Players compete individually and in teams for NFTs and have the option to convert digital cards into physical copies.
The game is scheduled to add metaverse elements by mid-2023, including clue-based quests from the novels. Developers, artists and players will also have the ability to create new cities and games.
CTA game beta will launch in late May, followed by digital and physical cards in June. The CTA will then launch its suite of NFT marketplace and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
