Bringing Web3 TCG to a Broader Audience
Parallel, a competitive Web3 trading card game (TCG), has officially launched on the Epic Games Store, expanding its reach to millions of new players. The game integrates NFT-based cards minted on Ethereum and Base (a layer-2 network), alongside traditional non-tokenized in-game cards.
Previously available in closed beta, Parallel transitioned to an open beta earlier this year, steadily building its player community. To celebrate its Epic Games Store debut, new players who download the free-to-play title will receive five bonus Apparition Packs, containing non-NFT cards.
Competitive Gaming and eSports Expansion
Franklin Fitch, Head of Partnerships at Parallel Studios, emphasized the strategic importance of launching on Epic:
"Parallel going live on Epic opens us up to millions more players worldwide, but we don’t plan to stop there. As we roll out more ways to access and play Parallel, we also plan to scale our competitive prize pool into millions of dollars next year."
Parallel Studios is heavily investing in eSports, with plans to distribute over $500,000 in prizes during the inaugural season of Parallel League competitions. Future prize pools are expected to grow alongside the player base.
Future Developments
Additional developments include:
- Mobile version in the works.
- Ongoing eSports tournaments with escalating rewards.
- Potential expansion to other gaming platforms.
