A soft launch of Champions Ascension today brings Massina’s world into a more permanent state online. Aside from maintenance periods and patches, the team plans to have the game available to players 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Starting today (August 17, 2023), players can join the free-to-play world of Champions Ascension at any time! Massina’s world will no longer be open to certain windows only on weekends. Now it stays open at all times, a big step towards becoming a living, virtual world!
Champions Ascension is free to play. Right now, everyone has the same roster of champions to choose from when fighting in the arena, leveling the playing field. The team has regularly released patches, worked on balance changes, and made combat more fun and fluid. Expect additional changes as they get feedback from the players.
Things to do in Massina
The main parts of the current pre-alpha are always open, such as the tavern, the open-world part of the city, the mini-games and one-on-one duels in the arena. Old Sally, the sewer PvE boss attack, will also be available, although each player is only allowed a limited number of attempts per day. Players with Prime Eternals and Elemental Eternals can now claim their XP points daily, with a reset time of 2am CST. And of course you can always just hang out!
However, the larger arena events are only open at certain times. In addition, the Champions team plans to hold several scheduled events to encourage active player participation. Here is the published schedule:
- Thursday – FFA
- Friday – 3v3
- Saturdays – 3v3 & Larger Events
- Sunday – Larger events or Rest Day
- Monday – Mini-Game Monday
- Tuesdays – Patch Day – Server Maintenance – 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM – Tentative
- Wednesday – 1v1 Focus
In addition, there are now some new, very exclusive and very expensive items for sale. Players need tickets for these purchases, which can be earned by fighting in the arena and playing mini-games in the world. But it will take some effort to pick up these limited availability items. The cheapest is a teleportation device that allows the holder to teleport to a friend’s location anywhere in the world. Cost, 5k tickets. But since there are only 25 available, this is sure to be a hot item! There will also be three other items: a special title that gives bonus tickets (40,000 tokens), a dash ability to use in the main world (20,000), and a point-bound teleportation device (20,000). All in very limited quantities.
More about Champions Ascension
Ascension Champions is an arena-based gladiatorial combat game built in a virtual world. While the 3D arena combat is the centerpiece of the game, Champions Ascension also builds an open world around it. One where players can walk around, interact and engage in various other activities. The world includes crafting, breeding, land ownership, an in-game marketplace, a staking system, mini-games and more!
Champions Ascension held an initial sale of Prime Eternals in early 2022. Prime Eternals are generative NFTs with various attributes that function as in-game characters and profile picture NFTs. With only 7,622 in existence, Prime Eternals offer many benefits that other characters will not receive. This includes guaranteed land mints, special grow options, early access, free mints, airdrops and more!
Aside from arena battles, the game currently also features an open world and several mini-games such as Drunk Racing and Dudo, a dice gambling/bluffing game. Win tickets while playing in the world and use them to buy special items.
