Sparkadia’s AAA-Game NFT Collection Built by Riot & Blizzard Veterans Now Available for Purchase on Rarible
Press release: Key figures behind the Riot and Blizzard studios have launched an interconnected AAA gaming ecosystem called Sparkadia, which has just released its first ever NFT sale on Rarible.
September 22, 2022, Los Angeles – Worldspark Studios, the studio behind Sparkadia, has launched its first ever NFT sale, “Sparkadia Origin Collection”. Powered by Immutable X, this first collection of NFTs was published on Rarible and TokenTrove on September 20, 2022.
What is Sparkadia?
Sparkadia is an “interconnected ecosystem of AAA-level games, brought together by a central hub world where players can jump between each game to see their characters and stories come to life.” Worldspark describes this hub-and-spoke model as an “arcade,” shying away from the metaverse buzzword and instead describing their hub world simply as the lobby of the arcade.
Each of their games acts as a metaphorical arcade machine. The goal is to give people an actual reason to visit this virtual space, and wants players to fully immerse themselves in Sparkadia and express their virtual identity through the games they play in it.
Edenbrawl early gameplay
Sparkadia’s first game, Edenbrawl, is a frenetic mashup that many call “League of Legends meets Rocket League”. The team claims that their biggest strength is that Edenbrawl is already fully playable, and early feedback from influencers, content creators and guilds in the area has been overwhelmingly positive. Although the game is not yet open to the public, early game footage and recorded play sessions are available to watch on Youtube.
Gaming with Blockchain, not Blockchain with Gaming
Key to Sparkadia’s vision is their plan of truly fun games that are enabled by the blockchain, not powered by it. They believe that mass adoption will not come from profiting from Web3 games, but rather from educating players about the benefits of ownership and connectivity. To that end, they have proudly stated that zero assets or NFTs in their first Edenbrawl game affect gameplay, meaning there are zero pay-to-win elements.
In addition, they have announced that they do not support assets of passive income or return generation, believing that players will come because they enjoy playing the games and that the intrinsic benefit of fun is more important to players than potential income. You can find more information about their financial model in their whitepaper which can be found here.
Sparkadia Origin NFT collection
Their Origin collection is a set of 8 individual ‘Hero’ NFTs that, when collected in their entirety, provide sweeping bonuses across the Sparkadian ecosystem. Collectors are encouraged to acquire a complete set for maximum bonuses, including a unique in-game trophy, increased in-game currency generation and even discounts on their future sales.
Despite the bear market, the Worldspark team was excited to announce their game to the world. With zero community presence before announcing their sale a month ago, they have since exploded in growth, massively growing their following on Twitter, Discord and Telegram.
The sale is now live and the NFTs can be purchased at Rarible.
