The gaming industry faces massive disruption from a new, up-and-coming niche. Crypto games are taking an industry worth nearly $200 billion in 2022, according to Statista, by storm, with gamers attracted to crypto newbies by the prospect of being to able to earn whilst they play.
And crypto gaming has a new kid on the block that is looking to take over. Calvaria, a blockchain-based play-to-earn (P2E) fantasy battle cards game, just launched a pre-sale and, in a matter of weeks, has now raised nearly $2.5 million through the sale of its in-game RIA tokens.
A big chunk of those sales came last Thursday, when a crypto whale made a massive $97,500 investment, demonstrating that it’s not just the small players picking up tokens.
78% of Calvaria’s RIA presale tokens have now been scooped up, with the sale in its final stage. Tokens are currently going for about $0.325 each, which observers have called a very favorable price. With numerous centralized and decentralized exchange listings confirmed and coming up in early 2023, investors should move quickly.
A series of in-game non-fungible token (NFT) drops are expected to follow shortly after ahead of the release of the alpha version of Calvaria’s headline game “Duels of Eternity”, which is expected in the second quarter of 2023.
Calvaria has some big backers, including the likes of KuCoin, Polygon Studios, Gate.io, XT.com and Chainplay. The project has received favorable news coverage from a wide range of news websites, including the likes of Benzinga, Cryptonews.com, Business 2 Community, Yahoo Finance and Yahoo News.
