Yield Guild Games x Star Atlas Game Collaboration
Star Atlas announced that Yield Guild Games has committed to purchasing $1 million worth of Star Atlas NFT gaming assets as part of a long-term partnership between the two projects.
A space-based, science fiction MMORPG with immersive, photo-realistic graphics, Star Atlas is being hailed as the blockchain-based title most likely to first grip a mainstream audience. Assets that have already been acquired by Yield Guild from the previous drop include several spaceships such as Calico Guardian, Compakt Hero, Opal Jetjet and Pearce X4 among others. With their unique designs, different specs and rarities, guild members may use these ships to generate yield from in-game activities after launch. More in-game items will be purchased once other NFT drops are released in the coming months, including the upcoming one on Thursday, October 7, 2021.
Intrigued by the creative potential for earnings unleashed by the Star Atlasgameplay dynamics, Yield Guild formed a strategic partnership with Star Atlas in April of this year. The core values of the two projects are in close alignment with one another as both seek to create financial opportunities for gamers through economic expansion of the metaverse.
Sarutobi Sasuke, Head of Partnerships at Yield Guild describes Star Atlas as “one of the most exciting space MMORPGs in the blockchain gaming space,” revealing that the guild had recently committed to the purchase of an entire fleet of ships — among other in-game items — which will be acquired incrementally across different drops.
