Ubisoft x Animoca Brands Invest In Free To Play, P2E Game Cross The Ages

Cross The Ages

The rapid growth of the P2E over the past year has led to an oversaturation inside the gaming market. Games such as CTA seek to nourish users with unique experiences inside their games while providing value. As crypto’s popularity rises, game creators look to blockchain P2E games to fill the gap. By allowing users to trade NFTs for physical cards, CTA offers their audience value on and off-chain.

The Physical & Digital cards are arranged to release in June; however, the beta version of Cross The Ages will open closer to the end of May. After the initial release, CTA plans to launch their De-Fi Protocol Suite and their NFT Marketplace. Members will be given access to pooling and have an option to trade and farm within the game.

“The CTA DeFi product will be accessible via the main user interface, but it will operate as its own standalone platform. We want to keep the gaming experience somewhat separate to ensure that the more commercial aspects of the CTA experiences do not distract from what will be a dynamic and unique metaverse gaming experience.” – CTA co-founder and CEO Sami Chlagou

CTA plans to release Metaverse elements by Mid-2023. But, for now, fans can soak up lore and look for clues inside the game’s readable novels. Sami Chlagou, the Cross the Ages CEO and Co-Founder, expressed the desire to deliver metaverse experiences that genuinely make players happy. At this time, the team at CTA is 140 members strong. With plans to double its workforce by next year, CTA has a promising future ahead.
