Ethereum-based trading card game Gods Unchained is set to release a new expansion pack called Dread Awakening, featuring a crossover with the upcoming mobile role-playing game Guild of Guardians. The expansion pack will introduce 148 new cards minted on the Immutable X scaling network, which was created by the publisher. Dread Awakening is scheduled to launch on April 23, while Guild of Guardians will have its global launch on May 15.
The collaboration between Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians allowed the development teams to work closely together, leveraging the creativity and lore of both games. Gods Unchained Executive Producer Daniel Paez expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating that IP crossovers are just the beginning of the potential for web3 gaming and true game interoperability.
The Dread Awakening expansion will introduce a “cosmic horror” theme, bringing new mechanics and cards that will reshape the game’s meta and hint at a larger world within the game’s lore. The announcement also mentioned the anticipation of future collaborations and the potential for further innovation in blockchain gaming.
Gods Unchained initially launched on Ethereum but now utilizes the Immutable X scaling solution for faster and cheaper transactions. The game recently expanded to iOS and Android, experiencing a significant increase in monthly active users.
