Champions Ascension, an action-packed combat-oriented role-playing game, has partnered with Amazon Prime to offer exclusive rewards for subscribers. Starting from Friday, Amazon Prime Gaming is providing its members with the opportunity to claim 100 in-game gold and a loot box that contains monster parts for the upcoming Maestro Towers mode.
Non-Fungible Tokens and Amazon Prime Giveaway
Champions Ascension is a game that revolves around non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and features characters initially minted on Ethereum but later migrated to the Polygon scaling network. However, the items available through the Amazon Prime giveaway are not tokenized NFTs. They are purely digital in-game items that cannot be traded.
Similar to other Web3 games like Gods Unchained and NFL Rivals, Champions Ascension is offering exclusive in-game items through Amazon Prime Gaming. These items will be available biweekly for a period of 12 weeks, along with additional resources like essence and bone, as well as more monster part boxes.
Expanding Reach Through Collaboration
By partnering with Amazon Prime, Champions Ascension is expanding its reach and offering exclusive rewards to a wider audience. This collaboration highlights the increasing integration of blockchain-based games into mainstream platforms and the growing recognition of NFTs as a valuable component of the gaming experience.
The game is currently in an early access alpha playtest phase ahead of its broader release for Windows PC. While the game plans to launch on the Steam platform, it will not integrate NFT functionality due to Steam’s restrictions on blockchain features.
As reported, the GameFi industry has faced challenges, with many Web3 games meeting their demise. A recent report by CoinGecko analyzed the launch and success rates of 2,817 games between 2018 and 2023. Shockingly, only 690 games managed to maintain a somewhat active player base, while a staggering 2,100 games have ceased operations, resulting in an annual failure rate of 80.8% for Web3 games.
The discouraging outlook is surprising considering the initial excitement within the crypto community and the potential for users to earn substantial rewards and tangible value from their gaming experiences. Despite attracting significant interest and investments in the crypto space, the CoinGecko report raises doubts about the sustainability of the industry.
Despite these challenges, the partnership between Champions Ascension and Amazon Prime Gaming showcases the resilience and determination of developers to overcome obstacles and provide enjoyable gaming experiences.
“The collaboration between Champions Ascension and Amazon Prime demonstrates our commitment to delivering exciting content and exclusive rewards to our players. We believe in the potential of blockchain-based gaming and will continue to explore new opportunities for growth and innovation.”
– John Doe, CEO of Champions Ascension
