The September 16th AMA brings a breath of fresh air to the world of Artellium by Cross The Ages.

Some dates are landmarks.AMA September 16, 2025, on Twitch is a perfect example. For two hours, Sami, Anthony, and Quentin lifted the veil on some aspects of the future of Cross The AgesLore, lands, economy, Blast, Arise… no subject has been forgotten.

With this article, L'Artellium Post takes you on a journey into the heart of these revelations: between literary ambitions, economic innovations and gameplay richer than ever.

Norbert Merjagnan, co-author of the saga, opened the AMA by immersing us in the Lore.

He informed us about the expansion of the Artellium universe which continues exponentially throughout the books.

• THE volume 2 is finished, while volumes 3 and 4 already have a well-advanced plot and are being written.

• THE Volume 1 has been reworked to add a touch of mystery and refocus the story on Solis, in order to strengthen the plot.

• The format Novela (80 pages) finally arrives, more accessible and open to the general public, it allows to rediscover the Lore with a new appeal. Several Novelas are already ready, in particular that of the history of Aurelius or that of the family of Satine and Ezio, with the little cherry on the cake, the magic of tattoos.

However, the most significant announcement remains without a doubt the editorial strategy :
CTA will not be limited to France. The vision is international, with a English translation, for entry into the American market and the involvement of recognized authors in the United States. To guide them, a real “Bible” CTA now includes lore, bestiary and characters.

A bold choice that promises to make the saga shine well beyond France.

Anthony then took the floor to detail the progress on the LandsIt is a central and sensitive subject that fascinates fans.
Linking real land to an NFT, with a yield, leads to Legal complexities linked to the status of “security token” in Europe.

However, the vision remains intact:

• THE lands will be released at the same time as Arise.

• If the land model proves to be complex, a derivative option will be proposed, where CTA would directly pay income through a different collateral.

• The feature of looting, closely linked to the lands, will be tested from the Arise closed beta 4.

Caution is advised, but the community is reassured that the lands will be part of the adventure, in one form or another.

Quentin delivered a real tour de force in explaining the news Cross The Ages economy.

• The system VIP5 will not always redistribute 50%: the percentages will vary depending on economic activity. The week of the Season 4 pre-sale, it will be set at 10%.

• THE CTA expenses (mint, pack purchases) will count towards VIP progression, but wrapping and secondary trading will not yet count, to avoid abuse.

• There VIP Wheel will offer Echo Orbs and cashback as CTAs, adding a fun dimension to spending.

• THE orb sealing will be used in the future for both Blast and Arise, leaving players the choice to balance their investments between rare Special cards or weapon modules.

THE KPIs tracked will help us understand how the community is adapting: wrapping, crafting, purchasing cards, trading, etc. A global monitoring that will help balance the economy.

CTA assumes the complexity of the model, but promises a intuitive experience on the Portal, with concrete data available live.

THE mint pass continue to be a cornerstone.

• Their return is now based on the value of the Stone, with a APR of approximately 35%, the equivalent of $225 and not $375 as initially announced for a special rare card.

• Future benefits have not been revealed to avoid disappointment, but they will come when the concrete features are ready.

• THE gaming points disappear, replaced by a clear distinction: the Trisel as an investment in time, and the Stone as an investment in $CTA.

• The generated resources (Trisel, Stone) will be interoperable with Arise, even if the balancing ratios may change.

A mechanic designed to last and adapt to both games, without unbalancing one or the other.

On the roadmap, several key points:

• Return of the craft and mint Season 3 flexes until October 22.

• Launch of the season 4 with VIP, wrapping and stacking from September 24.

• New version of the EM/EP at the end of the launch event, i.e. October 22.

There Solana migration progresses: CTA remains available on Ethereum, but Solana is establishing itself as the new backbone. Some technical issues remain, but communication with Solana Gaming intensifies.

As for cardholders Hannibal & Honora, good news: the airdrop is confirmed for season 4 and beyond.

THE physical cards from seasons 1 to 3 have been ready since July 2024 and will be officially released during the Heroes' Legacy, November 8 and 9.
They will not be impacted by in-game card design changes: a collection Legacy assumed, with its own codes.

There Blast season 4 will come out on September 24, 2025.
What's new:

• Arrival of the Runes for S-grade cards, which strengthen crafting and adoption on the Web2 player side.

• New rewards system inspired by Clash Royale : boosters, displays, revisited progression.

• Redesigned menus and collection for better readability.

• Patch 0.26 planned for early 2026: the Adventure Map.

On the gameplay side, many adjustments have been announced: mana, WD runes, S fields... but we'll have to wait to discover the exact values.

The team remains attentive to the testers' feedback, while assuming its vision: a real board game with associated cards.

The World Tournament Heroes' Legacy will take place in November.

• Qualifying follows last year's format, but with adjustments :

• Obligation to play at least one game per day or lose 75 LP (from diamond rank).

• Cross The Ages reserves the right to balance the system over the weeks.

A more demanding format, designed to keep the competition alive.

It is impossible to conclude without mentioning Arise, the long-awaited RPG.

• Heroes' Legacy will be an opportunity to test the game, with a 4v4 tournament and a final on stage.

• Closed beta 3 : November, with a second dungeon, fishing, crafting, auction house and major fixes.

• Closed beta 4 : early 2026, with the mechanics of looting.

• THE eternal weapons will be central, with sacrificed cards generating glyphs to be applied to weapons. Static weapons will have limited durability, encouraging crafting.

• L' energy, which disappeared in Blast, will be present in Arise to balance the farm.

Finally, a significant announcement: Ubisoft and Square Enix are participating in the development of Arise and Blast, confirming the international ambition of Cross The Ages.

From literature to economics, from lands to Arise, this AMA of September 16 was dense and decisive.
The Cross The Ages team has once again demonstrated its adaptability in the face of constraints, while displaying a clear and ambitious vision.

For the community, the message is clear: a new breath is taking hold. Season 4 promises to be a pivotal step, paving the way for Heroes' Legacy and the rise of Arise.

The Artellium Post remember one thing, Cross The Ages is not afraid to reinvent itself, and each AMA reminds us that this adventure is much more than a game. It's a story that is being written, with all of us.
