The Singapore-based Cross The Ages has managed to secure more than $12 million in seed funding for its mobile title. This funding was provided with an unspecified total market valuation but will be used by the company for talent retention, further development and marketing.
Animoca Brands, Ubisoft, Polygon, and The Sandbox‘s Sebastian Borget, were among those leading the investment charge for CTA.
Based on its series of free-to-read novels, Cross the Ages is a mobile, NFT-collectible card game. While players are able to compete using their NFTs, and can also convert those same cards into physical copies.
According to the development team, the game is forecasted to include metaverse elements – such as quests – during 2023.
For the time being, Cross the Ages will be launching its closed beta for players to test in mid/late-May this year. Those trying out the game will have access to farming, pooling and bonding trading features, as well as its NFT and a digital marketplace – giving the team time to ensure its economy is stress-tested.
