Bridging Worlds: Aradena Combines Innovative TCG Gaming with Blockchain Tech
Aradena is starting to make a lot of noise in Web3 gaming. Building quietly for the last 2 years with the backing of Animoca Brands as their lead investor, they are now set to take the Trading Card Game (TCG) world by storm.
Aradena is a medieval fantasy gaming brand and ecosystem, created by Litoja Labs, a company founded by industry experts across tech, web3 and gaming to revolutionise the way we play and interact online. Litoja is committed to Aradena’s long-term growth, and are on track with their roll-out of an expansive gaming ecosystem encompassing a wide range of utilities and features. This week marks an important milestone for Aradena with their utility and premium ecosystem currency Aradenean Gold ($AG) launching, more info on that will follow below.
Aradena have prioritised providing immediate utility for their $AG token. They already have a variety of mini games and products within the ecosystem, but its flagship launch of Aradena: Battlegrounds has been the core focus of its internal gaming studio. Aradena: Battlegrounds is one of the most exciting upcoming launches in web3 gaming; a tactical TCG where collectable cards come to life in strategic, 3D gameplay.
Unlike many other gaming studios in the web3 gaming space, Aradena is not just implementing web3 tech to improve the player experience, but they are also innovating on traditional game designs to compete with top web2 gaming titles.
Aradena: Battlegrounds amalgamates the best features of turn-based strategy and hex-tile battle boards found in games like XCOM and Warhammer, alongside the fast-paced and addictive TCG mechanics in games such as Hearthstone and Magic the Gathering, a blend that has been highly praised by users for its strategic depth and exciting gameplay.
The closed beta testing period for Aradena: Battlegrounds officially opened on 02 June 2023. So far over 9000 games have been played, and players have rated the beta an average of 8.3/10, with a lot of game polishing to go. Aradena plans to utilise the beta period to continue collecting player feedback to rapidly enhance and refine the gameplay for its Q4 2023 full launch.
$AG will list on Gate.IO, UniSwap and other exchanges on the 21st June 2023. The token is best described as the utility token for all features, game store purchases, competitive tournaments, marketplaces, transactions and governance across all current and future games within the Aradena ecosystem. Utility for the token includes the Aradena Game Store, player trading, enhanced gameplay features, staking, governance, interoperability across other games, and more.
Whilst more utility will continually be added to the token and ecosystem, Aradena have prioritised releasing the token with three large immediate use-cases and utilities.
-
First is the Aradena Store which will feature exclusive pre-release bundles which contain unique cosmetics and card packs never to be sold again. Players will also have the ability to roll the dice with randomised loot chests that give them an array of assets.
-
Second is a variety of in-game feature buffs, such as in Aradena: Questing, a mini game which allows players to earn commodities and upgrade their NFTs.
-
Third, staking will allow holders to lock up their $AG for up to 37.5% APR.
With significant early traction and gameplay feedback, a well-designed ecosystem with strong utility, and over $2 million raised in venture capital from heavyweight firms such as Animoca Brands, Immutable X, GameFi Ventures, Jump Crypto, Maven Capital, and others, the future looks very exciting for Aradena.
