Cross The Ages (CTA), the transmedia sci-fi fantasy Web3 universe, has launched the alpha testing phase of its multiplayer action RPG Arise, now available for early players on the Epic Games Store.
Arise is the second major title in the CTA ecosystem, expanding the franchise beyond storytelling and trading card gameplay into a fully immersive real-time multiplayer experience. CTA and Animoca Brands established a strategic partnership in 2021, with Animoca now supporting the launch of Arise through its expertise in blockchain gaming, tokenomics and market strategy. Animoca Brands has also begun acquiring CTA tokens from the open market to reinforce the project’s long-term framework.
The free-to-play action RPG is set within the broader CTA universe and blends dungeon exploration, PvP combat, resource gathering and trading. Players can choose between roles such as fighter, builder or strategist, and progress through two core modes: Exploration Mode, which focuses on dungeon progression at the player’s pace, and Competition Mode, where players face traps, enemies and bosses while competing for rankings.
Arise is positioned as a continuation of CTA’s transmedia vision, which spans literature, animation, interoperable games, merchandising and global live events. The CTA ecosystem integrates physical and digital storytelling, enabling assets and characters to move seamlessly across titles. Community activities, live tournaments and conventions further connect players within the evolving universe.
Following the success of Cross The Ages: Blast, the card-based CTA game that has sold more than 40 million digital cards, Arise represents the next phase in CTA’s effort to bridge Web2 and Web3 gaming with an interconnected, immersive format.
Players can wishlist Arise on Steam or access the alpha exclusively through the Epic Games Store.
