PRESS RELEASE. Barcelona, Spain, 24th February, 2023: Elemental Raiders, is launching a $35,000 in-game, completely free-to-participate and free-to-play tournament. Several ecosystem partners of Games for a living and Elemental Raiders including launchpads Seedify, guilds such as YGG as well as partners such as esports giants Team Queso aim to co-promote this tournament.
Games for a living, the parent company of Elemental Raiders, is also a game publisher and a blockchain gaming platform. Ahead of its IGO launch on Seedify in Q1 2023, Elemental Raiders has partnered with several guilds such as YGG and other ecosystem partners to co-promote the tournament.
The Games for a living founding team commented that they see that the tournament series runs for one week, and it gives everyone a great opportunity and a step towards bringing mainstream adoption to an enhanced model of “freemium” games, combining the best elements of Web2 and Web3.
“We saw an opportunity to build an inroad with mainstream gamers, and also attract the Web3 or crypto gamers to a game that focuses on gameplay, is completely free-to-play, free to participate, and equally rewarding,” said Adria Mir, the gaming and blockchain expert at Games for a living. “We see this as a massive opportunity to begin to educate conventional as well as the Web3 gamers on a next gen tech, with better and guaranteed economic incentives as well as exciting gameplay.”
Elemental Raiders is a completely free-to-play RPG based game, also live on Steam. Users can download the game . However, those interested in participating in the $35,000 giveaway tournament will only be able to play through Games for a living’s Launcher and must have an account on gamesforaliving.com (PC or Mac) through which they can access the tournament in-game section.
The reward distribution is categorised between BUSD, GFAL tokens as well as rare skins, NFTs and Elemental Crystals within the game Elemental Raiders. All heroes for players participating in the tournament are to be unlocked and at their highest level (only in the Tournament mode), to ensure fair play of competition for new gamers as well as the existing Elemental Raiders players.
The tournament and the participants will be ranked through a leaderboard style format, allowing players to play an unlimited number of matches through the duration of the tournament.
The player vs player (PvP) style competition aims to run for a week, starting Tuesday, March 2nd, 2023 at 3:00 pm UTC to March 8th, 2023 at 3:00 pm UTC.
“We want to leverage this opportunity ahead of the Elemental Raiders Play-to-earn launch in March 2023 to not only educate users on the blockchain gaming and NFTs market, but also invite gamers who don’t necessarily understand blockchain, or find it too complicated. This is why we have created a gaming ecosystem that includes the monetary and non-monetary rewards for both parties”, Elemental Raiders team said. “So we’re building a lot of educational bridges and ironing out the technicalities between Web3 and Web2 gaming”.
Elemental Raiders launched its completely free-to-play version of the game on the world’s biggest gaming marketplace, Steam in Q4 2022. With over 75% positive reviews, it is set to introduce an earning mechanism within the game where players can monetise the time they spend on playing the game by minting their hard earned skills and skins into NFTs and sell or trade them in Games for a living’s Marketplace.
“This tournament is a great way for us to take in more data, analytics and feedback on how we can keep improving the game, making it more realistic and removing the technical barriers for both Web3 and Web2 users,” Adria said. “We want to show the world that blockchain is a lot more than just play-to-earn”.
