CTA aims to redefine the entire blockchain game industry through innovative methods and diversify its development.

On May 15, CROSS THE AGES (abbreviated as CTA) announced the completion of a $3.5 million equity financing led by Animoca Brands. Through this strategic investment, CROSS THE AGES plans to accelerate development and establish the CTA universe and ecosystem. According to the Cross The Ages white paper, the CTA team currently comprises over 180 people, including game developers, visual artists, writers, and blockchain experts; its partners include Polygon, Sandbox, Ubisoft, Immutable, and others.

Ecosystem Products of Cross The Ages

Cross The Ages is committed to creating a diverse ecosystem, covering games, movies, books, NFT card collecting, and more, which has been curated over many years. In July 2022, users were able to formally access CROSS THE AGES; in August 2022, Cross The Ages organized its first esports competition; in February 2023, the second novel of CROSS THE AGES was completed. The first book, "La Rune et le Code", was released in bookstores on April 10, 2024, and the second book will be released later this year.

The "Cross The Ages" book series totals seven volumes, completed over ten years, with Arnaud Dollen and his team as the primary authors. The saga narrates a world called Artellium, troubled by geopolitical and systemic crises that echo our current earthly challenges. Readers will dive into a rich and captivating universe with its own rules, codes, and symbols. Like archaeologists, they explore clues scattered throughout the story to unveil remnants of the past and deepen their understanding of the turbulent and tense situation in the world of Artellium.

The movie themed on Cross The Ages is also in production, with no release date set yet, but some teaser clips are already viewable on Youtube. Cross The Ages has also released physical cards, which fans can purchase at the pranah-collectible store.

In addition, Cross The Ages has launched a blockchain-powered card game TCG, where users can participate by collecting or purchasing cards. The TCG features two game modes: adventure and arena. In the blockchain game TCG, each card is associated with a trait, and there are a total of seven different traits: LIFE, EARTH, DARK, WATER, FIRE, LIGHT, and AIR. Players can enhance their combat power by collecting cards with different traits.Additionally, according to the official white paper, Cross The Ages also plans to release another action game called Arise.
