1,000 Gen 0 Cryotags Offered Via Free 'Invite Only' Mint; Play 'The End' ARG For Last Remaining Chance at Exclusive NFT
– Today, Web3 development studio Emergent Games has launched a range of 1,000 limited edition Genesis 0 Cryotag NFTs for massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Resurgence . The NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are offered exclusively via invite-only free mint and confer access to a private portion of the game's Discord server, airdrops for future tokens and NFTs, whitelisting for future sales, real-life perks on merchandise, and other benefits that have yet to be revealed. Resurgence 's first NFT drop offers players a chance to contribute to the central framework of the game. As a core part of the community, members will be able to influence every aspect of the project moving forward, from lore to smart contracts. Cryotags' utility and purpose will evolve alongside Resurgence 's narrative and are designed to continuously reward early supporters as they embark on their journeys through a post-apocalyptic world.

The Cryotags' design reflects its practical, in-game functionality. Unlike other NFTs that look cool but don't necessarily achieve much, Emergent Games has designed the Cryotags to be upgradable, they have processors, SIM card slots, and USB ports. Countdown clocks on the NFTs constantly remind players that time is running out and were purposefully designed to increase tension. Cryotags will be pivotal for Resurgence moving forward, and their value will increase as the game's narrative unfolds.

"Today's first generation Cryotag drop represents a fundamental step in building a community that puts players first," says Ian Hambleton , CEO of Emergent Games. "We have a vision for Cryotags to transform alongside Resurgence 's narrative, and plan to introduce new functionalities according to what we hear from our earliest supporters."

He adds , "Gen 0 Cryotag owners will be instrumental throughout the development process. We can't wait to learn and grow alongside them as this ambitious AAA experience comes to life."
Players that have missed out on the invite-only mint have a chance to get their hands on a Gen 0 Cryotag via Resurgence 's alternate reality game (ARG) The End , but only for a limited time. Follow Resurgence on Twitter and or join the studio's Discord channels for updates on Cryotags and other NFTs.

" Resurgence 's first generation free mint represents our commitment to building an experience that prioritizes gameplay and community over profit," adds Andy Frangos , Co-founder of Emergent Games. "Cryotags will become unique identifiers as the world of Resurgence takes shape through exciting new projects slated to launch in the near future."

As part of Resurgence 's world-building phase, The End is an interactive 'story-living' experience that introduces key characters, places and politics. Set in the near future when humanity has lost its battle against climate change, The End gives players a chance to witness how extreme crises unravel and culminate in the dystopian world of Resurgence .
In The End , players have a meaningful role in Resurgence 's narrative via active digital channels, including websites and social media platforms. They can investigate mysteries, share information and earn rewards that have real in-game value.

Revelation , a hacker sim, and Priority One , a single player survival horror game, are both slated to launch in 2023. The Thaw , a multiplayer survival game, will launch in 2024. The Thaw will eventually become Resurgence , and its first MMO content will be called The Infernal Frontier . The Resurgence franchise is planned to last well into 2025 and beyond.

Play The End today for last chance at Resurgence 's Gen 0 Cryotag NFTs. For updates regarding current and future mints, register for the Resurgence email newsletter via the website: https://www.resurgence-game.io/

Latiya will join as the 21 st hero and a special in-game event will occur to celebrate her arrival
Knight-errant and magical master of joust Latiya is now available to play in Nexon's MMORPG Vindictus earning her place as the 21 st hero in the game. Latiya grew up in a dangerous jungle and became the world's greatest hunter, yet her desire to become a knight overtook that ambition. With her large lance and mystic chain hook, she hurtles through the battlefield to joust against her adversaries without a need for a horse.
STARLIGHT KNIGHT LATIYA PIERCES HER WAY THROUGH ENEMIES' HEARTS IN VINDICTUS
Exclusive Weapon
Her exclusive weapon, the lance, embodies her love of knights.
Latiya is not only strong enough to swing lances around with one hand, but she can also summon the magical Kuja chain hook with the other. The Kuja chain hook from her tribe allows her to quickly navigate the environment to both elude and chase down prey. It allows Latiya to walk the path between a merciful defender and a merciless hunter.
Exclusive Equipment
Latiya's armor sets include " Eusi Kuja " and "Stout Heart." " Eusi Kuja " is the name of her tribe, the Black Claws, and is designed to combine the best techniques of dodging and deflecting damage.
Stout Heart is a set of medieval full plate armor. The solid, interlocking plates with unique black leopard skin had jousting fans cheering for her as the "Panther Knight" whenever they watched her compete.
Skills
As a piercing starlight knight, Latiya has special skills to defeat her enemies. Her first skill, "Lion's Rage" imbues her lance with magic and performs a swing, an upward slash and finally a thrust. Additional inputs after using the skill can alter the attacks that combo out from the skill. "Snake Coil" unleashes the Kuja chain hook to attack nearby prey. This covers a large area and landing a successful hit can restore stamina with Kuja's Strength.
"Light of Kuja" is a counterattack that can follow certain other moves, this allows Latiya to both dodge attacks and land some of her own at the same time.
Finally, "Panther Pounce" unleashes a flurry of furious strikes, with the Kuja and the lance working in harmony.
Special Event
Latiya's Celebratory Package Event is now open until Tuesday, Sept. 20 to welcome Latiya to Vindictus . Items available include "Latiya's Outfit Set Destiny Box," "Title: The First Latiya," and "Unlimited Inner Armor Pass (30 days)" filled with all kinds of outfits for Latiya to wear. Details on these event outfits and stats can be found here .
More information about Latiya's debut in Vindictus can be found on the official website .
Vindictus is an action MMORPG that launched in 2010, making 2022 its twelfth year of service. The game takes place in a desolate land teeming with wild beasts and features fast-paced, brutal combat which gives players the ability to weaponize objects in their environment.

Ahead of the company's appearance at the leading European digital games trade fair Gamescom, Zilliqa announces the name of its first game, WEB3WAR, a first-person shooter game with AAA-level design at its core
– Zilliqa ( https:www.zilliqa.com ), a high-performance, high-security, and low-fee layer-1 blockchain protocol, announces the name of the new first-person shooter (FPS) game, WEB3WAR.

What separates WEB3WAR from other blockchain games is its focus on gameplay and intuitive design, which makes it easy to pick up, play, and enjoy from the very beginning, making it appealing to the entire gaming community.
Alongside an AAA-level approach to game development, the team has adopted the skill-to-earn gaming model over the more common play-to-earn model. This serves as the foundation for a more sustainable business model that allows players to win rewards in the form of customised items and tokens secured by the Zilliqa blockchain, depending on their level of skill. The better they play, the more valuable the reward.
In-game tokens and digital items will also be available to purchase in the form of customizable skins like armour, helmets, or weapons for a player's character. By implementing a skills-based reward system into a familiar and AAA-level interface, WEB3WAR allows players of all profiles to rake in earnings that are commensurate to the time they spend in it, making it a pioneer in the gaming Industry.
Other features of the game include:
When WEB3WAR launches, it will be free to play with seasonal components that will require tokens to access.
"We're on a mission to help gamers adopt crypto and welcome them into the Zilliqa community. Web3War is a game designed to meet the preferences of modern gamers, and also offer them a fresh experience — by introducing the opportunity to earn rewards as they have fun. Our focus is on creating a game that not only has utility but also has the player's enjoyment at its heart," says Matt Dyer , Head of Growth at Zilliqa.

RDB Car Club and RDB LA CEO Mano Yeghikian said, "The feeling of excitement is mutual. As a long time gamer it has been a childhood dream to see my cars in a game. This transition into the gaming industry seemed like a natural progression for the RDB ecosystem. There is no better company to bring value to my community than the GameOn team."
As part of GameOn's broader initiative to expand within the web3 ecosystem, the company expects to capitalize on all avenues of its partnerships which include, but are not limited to: upfront setup fees, recurring monthly license fees, and revenue share from the initial mint and ongoing secondary sales of NFTs.
