An exciting new play-to-earn (P2E) crypto game is scheduled for release later in 2023 and investors have a unique opportunity to get in early on what could become a viral sensation.
Calvaria is set to launch its headline fantasy-themed card game “Duels of Eternity” in Q2 2023 and is currently conducting a pre-sale of the RIA token that will function as the game’s default in-app currency.
Calvaria is a P2E, afterlife-themed crypto collectible battle cards game that seeks to bring crypto gaming into the mainstream by tapping into a huge, existing market – the market for physical battle card games (think viral sensations of the past like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh).
And with the crypto gaming space expected to grow from $4.6 billion in size in 2022 to $65.7 billion in size by 2027, according to an analysis by Markets and Markets, there is plenty of room for massive growth.
The game is set to feature industry-leading gameplay, best-in-class graphics and artwork, and a rich and immersive storyline/universe lore, all backed by the best crypto ecosystem in the space.
Calvaria players collect and build a deck of battle card NFTs, which they can then use to battle one another or complete challenges, all whilst earning rewards in the form of Calvaria’s RIA token. RIA is the token that powers Calvaria’s ecosystem.
Users will be able to play the game for free and without having to connect a crypto wallet. They will be encouraged to play the crypto version of the game throughout the experience (for example, they will be shown how much they would have earnt by now if they had a crypto wallet connected).
But it is not a necessity. Calvaria will incorporate elements of crypto education into the game in order to try and bring the non-crypto users across to the crypto side. Elsewhere, the fact that Calvaria is being built on the Polygon blockchain, an Ethereum scaling solution, means that transactions are set to be very fast and cheap.
The same cannot be said for games being built, say, on top of the Ethereum blockchain, which suffers from much greater levels of network congestion and higher fees. Meanwhile, unlike many of its competitors, Calvaria will be playable via mobile application and on the computer, opening up the game to the widest potential user base possible.
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. Meanwhile, Calvaria was ranked 5th on Cryptonews.com’s list of the top 17 best crypto project token presales in 2023.
In just a few weeks, Calvaria has raised a whopping $2.64 million, with only 15% of presale tokens remaining up for grabs. The sale is currently in its final stage, with RIA tokens currently selling for what some observers have called a highly discounted $0.325 each.
Investors should move quickly, as these tokens could be scooped up very quickly. Just last month, one investor bagged a whopping $97,500 in one go. If investors miss out on the opportunity to get tokens in the presale, they will have to wait until the tokens are listed on cryptocurrency exchanges in early 2023.
Late last month, Calvaria announced a partnership with KuCoin Wallet, a self-custody crypto wallet created by the centralized cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin.
According to Calvaria, RIA will be available in the KuCoin Wallet at its launch, and KuCoin Wallet can currently be used to invest in the Calvaria presale. Some traders are speculating that Calvaria’s partnership with KuCoin suggests a likelihood that RIA will eventually be listed on the exchange.
According to CoinMarketCap, KuCoin ranked as the 4th largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volumes over the last 24 hours. A listing on KuCoin would thus expose RIA to a massive new potential customer base, which could help pump its price down the line.
