Guild of Guardians Delay Launch to 2023

Guild of Guardians roadmap

Though Guild of Guardians has run a couple of successful demo/beta playtests, the GoG team has decided to delay the launch of their game. The feedback for the game preview was generally positive, but Guild of Guardians has grand plans for onboarding millions of players into the web3 ecosystem, and they want to make sure that they put out a high-quality offering.

First impressions can be important. Especially for suspicious gamers. And so, Guild of Guardians wants to make sure that they look their best when they market their game to those who are not familiar with blockchain technology. They also want to provide a seamless, wallet onboarding system for all of their players. In light of this, Guild of Guardians decided to push the launch of their game back to 2023.

Now we don’t have any real specifics about when or what to expect in 2023. Presumably this announcement is referring to the alpha release, which was previously planned for the end of 2022. But, with a less than useful roadmap and no date estimates, it’s hard to make any predictions. Though it seems clear that we should not expect to see anything substantial released this year.

Guild of Guardians has been releasing irregular updates in the form of Dev Diaries. The latest shows us some of their plans for Guilds. We saw interface previews for the Guild Hall, Raid preparation, and Guild crafting.

In addition, the Ambassador team for GoG is working on creating events and activities to engage the player community. One of the first up will be Trivia Nights on Thursdays, with prizes available. Join the Guild of Guardians Discord and keep an eye on the announcements channel for further details.

Players gather in groups of four to enter dungeons, battle through monsters, defeat dangerous bosses, and walk away with experience and treasure. The game uses NFTs for all of its heroes, items, and pets.

Guild of Guardians is taking a mobile first approach for their game. Guild of Guardians completed a couple of rounds of NFT releases and also launched their token, GOG. The NFTs can be traded on Immutable X, and the token, Guild of Guardians Gems (GOG), can be found on all the ETH DEXs.

The game will feature a rewards pool for GOG token staking that is filled from token usage in-game. Guild of Guardians will also feature Pets, Guilds, Raids. with future plans for land ownership, user created dungeons, and incorporation into eSports. GoG has already made several partnerships with eSports teams.

Guild of Guardians will be free to play, but those who own NFTs will have various advantages when playing.
