Apeiron has revealed plans for the Nova Tournament in partnership with Talon, an esports platform from Hong Kong, and United Esports, based in Los Angeles. This collaboration aims to showcase Apeiron's player versus player (PVP) gameplay and attract both web2 and web3 players from around the globe.

“The appetite and opportunity for esports within the web3 space continues to grow and what we love about Apeiron is that it has a low floor making it easy to come in and play, but a high ceiling for experienced players to grow into their mastery of the game,” commented Talon co-founder Jazz Tham.

$30K Esports Tournament

The Nova Tournament will feature two conferences, each hosting eight top players. The western conference is scheduled for April 4th-6th, while the eastern conference will take place on April 11th-13th. Matches will follow a double-elimination bracket format, with both best-of-one and best-of-three matches.

The tournament boasts a $30,000 prize pool, split evenly between the two conferences. Notable players such as Rdu, Ralo, Orangie, Brycent, 1437, Deathsie, Raiden, and Yellow Panther are set to participate.

“We are excited to partner with TALON and United Esports from both the East and West to bring competitive web3 esports to a wider audience seeking strategic and fast-paced gameplay," said Foonie Magus CEO Frank Cheng. 

“Apeiron’s unique gaming experience challenges players’ strategic thinking, reflexes, and ability to improvise, offering an exhilarating experience for both streamers and viewers to witness and share the most epic clutch moments and comebacks," added Frank.

As excitement builds for the Nova Tournament, gaming enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the upcoming showdown, which promises to deliver intense competition and captivating gameplay. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting event.

More About Apeiron?

Apeiron is the world's first NFT-based god game on the Ronin Network. Apeiron will feature a unique rogue-lite dungeon card-battler combined with god game simulation gameplay inspired by classic god games like Populous and Black & White.

Apeiron is developed by a team of 60 Hong Kong developers with their prototype generating one of the largest single-game seed fundings in web3 from investors including Hashed, IVC, Morningstar Ventures, Spartan Group, DeFiance. To date, Apeiron has raised $24 million. 

50k Daily Active Users

As a leading web3 game with over 50k Daily Active Users (DAU), Apeiron is a casual competitive hybrid mobile game where players command a godly avatar to convert their planet's Doods to become followers, summon extraordinary miracles to shape their worlds, and engage in card-based combat against the forces of the Mad God Chaos.

Apeiron has a unique NFT-centric model that enhances players' strategic choices with real economic implications, giving players the power to trade and invest in the world they help to flourish.

As the core ecosystem token, $APRS is mainly used for expanding the ecosystem of Apeiron NFTs.  Players will be able to breed new Planet NFTs and mint Apostles for either playing, renting, or selling, using their marketplace DAPP and $APRS.

Additionally, in the forthcoming Apeiron Top-up Store, $APRS will be able to be exchanged into the game as Aperium. Some early uses in the game include seasonal Battle Passes, additional inventory space, and training the in-game DoodGPT NPC AI system.

“Building upon the concepts laid by Axie Infinity's token breeding model, which correlates NFT value with their actual cost creation, Apeiron tokenomics represents the next generation of web3 gaming. This foundation, combined with scholarship and rentals was the key to Axie’s success, and we plan to further improve the model by refining supply management and implementing vigilant monitoring,” commented Frank Cheng, CEO of Foonie Magus.

Airdrop Extravaganza

As part of the recent token listing, Bybit will also host a Launchpool staking event featuring $APRS, where players can buy $APRS and stake it to earn more tokens which will run from March 26th at 8 am UTC to April 11th at 8 am UTC.

Additionally, Bybit and Apeiron are introducing an Airdrop Extravaganza where players can complete social media and referral tasks to earn more $APRS.
