Cross The Ages AMA June 16: Promises Kept for a Controlled Future!

Monday, June 16 at 6 p.m., the team and community of Cross The Ages gathered around a AMA (Ask Me Anything) live on Twitch. For nearly an hour and a half, Sami, Anthony, and Quentin shared the project's major progress with great transparency. A condensed, sincere, and hopeful encounter that clearly outlines the next steps in a rapidly expanding universe.

First major announcement: The long-awaited Lands will be available in both NFT and physical versions by the end of the year. They are planned for the launch of Arise in early access.

Even though very few details have been revealed, our trio (Sami, Anthony, and Quentin) have reassured us about the project's progress. The gist is there: the Cross The Ages universe is about to experience some great adventures in the near future, and the Lands are coming; they will mark a decisive turning point.

The first phase of Arise testing was a success. The team welcomed the players' feedback, which was often insightful and always constructive. Mutual aid and fruitful cooperation.

The economy is undergoing a complete overhaul. With the migration to Solana, the arrival of a new DeFi gaming system, and the introduction of the Eternal Score, certain aspects and parameters needed to be rethought. You'll find more details in a long article coming soon.

Phase 2 testing for Arise is expected in mid-July, with:

• opening the game to new external gaming communities

• rewards for the best players on the ladder,

• and additional earnings for those reaching level 10 through the Coin Arise system.

TCG Season 4 is now scheduled for September/October. This timeline isn't the result of a delay, but rather a conscious decision to take the time to perfect certain details.

Season 3, originally scheduled to last six months, has now been extended to nine months. This extension has allowed for a third round of SR card airdrops, as well as the reintegration of exclusive cards into packs available in the store. Regarding this latest decision, the team acknowledges a lack of clarity in communication and apologizes to the community.

An explanatory article will soon be published to detail the migration of assets to Solana. The watchword will be "Precaution." Nothing will be rushed. The process will be phased in gradually, beginning in August. Support is planned to allow everyone to adapt smoothly.

The biggest surprise at the AMA was the announcement of a major new strategic partnership between Cross The Ages and a major player in the gaming industry.

Although the name of this partner has not yet been revealed, the official announcement will be made by the latter in the coming days; the enthusiasm within the teams is palpable. 

This partnership, coupled with a successful fundraising round, validates the project's artistic and technical direction. The concrete demonstrations of Arise and Blast, as tangible and promising products, played a key role in this decision.

Thanks to this fundraising, Cross The Ages now has three years of financial visibility, a valuable asset to continue developing its games, refining its acquisition and retention mechanisms, and consolidating its place in the video game ecosystem.

The Heroes Legacy Tournament, scheduled for November 8th and 9th during the Heroes Festival event at Parc Chanot in Marseille, will undoubtedly be the best time of the year for fans.

On this occasion, Cross The Ages will welcome its community in an immersive village entirely dedicated to the universe of Artellium:

• An Arise space with an RPG tournament,

• A Blast space, with a more intimate format (fewer than 64 players for an optimized experience),

• A Lore space, in the presence of writers from the universe,

• A Merch area, as well as many surprises to discover on site.

With more than 50,000 visitors expected, this event represents an exceptional opportunity to showcase Cross The Ages to a wide audience and immerse festival-goers in the heart of its world.

A new "Arise" trailer is expected soon. It will surely continue the current momentum and bring even more collective enthusiasm to the RPG.

Over the months, Cross The Ages has had to deal with the demanding reality of development: stretching deadlines, sometimes unrealistic expectations, often harsh criticism, and necessary restructuring.

But each obstacle has been an opportunity to learn, to get back up, to recalibrate the trajectory, without ever losing sight of the essential, which is to build a coherent, immersive and interoperable universe.

Today, with the upcoming arrival of Lands, a promising RPG, a mastered migration to Solana, and a strategic partnership about to be revealed, the project is moving forward more solidly than ever.

Crossing the Ages is not easy.

But those who never waver, never give up. Those who stand firm in the face of the storm... always end up going down in history and becoming legends.
