PRESS RELEASE.LONDON, February 15, 2022 –Independent video game studio and publisherUtopian Game Labs,has teamed up withalphabit fund,the crypto asset fund advancing the overall development of the sector by investing in the world’s most innovative blockchain projects, to bring youTime Raiders,a fast-paced shoot and loot NFT game in which players travel through time to fight enemies and take treasures and resources back to their own time.

Joining the ranks of play-to-earn (P2E) NFT games such as Axie Infinity and Zed Run, Time Raiders captures the attention of crypto gamers who want not just to have fun, but profit in-game and in real life. All items in the game are an NFT that can be traded for Xpendium ($XPND), Time Raiders’ native in-game utility token. The value of these NFTs is defined by their rarity and in-game utility. Some will unlock future advantages in the game such as secret levels and skins, while others like the Founders NFT Pack, that will go on presale in April, provide owners with additional HP, armor, accuracy, energy as well as an increased chance of finding better items throughout the game. Built on Unity, the game supports the minting and melting of NFTs and is integrated with Enjin wallet and Enjin SDK. It is designed to surpass current gameplay quality levels in the industry and serve as the greatest NFT treasure hunt of all time.

“Time Raiders has the quality of a well developed game with the added incentives of play-to-earn,” said Utopian Game Labs, CEO Anthony Charlton. “It will be the first crypto game to be developed as a compelling game experience first, rather than a gamified token economy and will reach across several markets by appealing to the growing P2E gamer space as well as the traditional gamer segment.”

“We are thrilled about the future of Time Raiders,” said Simon Bailey, Studio Head. “Following the beta-launch at the end of March we will release new compelling levels every month, presented as a treasure hunt and will lead to a frenetic chase across different eras in time. We are making sure there is some serious fun for each and every gamer! Our growing community is particularly enthusiastic at the prospect of creating their own valuable content and we cannot wait to put the power of level ownership and creation into the hands of the players!”

The game takes players, known as time raiders, on electrifying adventures across time to fight enemies, collect loot and resources and bring them back to the present where they can be crafted into new items, sold for funds, or be used to upgrade weapons. When not in combat, raiders spend their time in the Inter-dimensional Hub, home of other time raiders, armourers, scientists, and the ever-present black market. Set in 2247 in the depths of cyberpunk cities, the first portal transports raiders to an alternate World War II timeline where the Nazis have invaded London, and where opportunity and adventure awaits.

Time Raiders will be initially launched on PC, with future launches planned for console and mobile devices.
