Phantom Galaxies is an open-world mech combat game, currently in public Alpha release. As one of the first blockchain-based game titles with AAA scope and quality, Phantom Galaxies is drawing in both traditional gaming enthusiasts as well as Web3 natives. Three of the four episodes of the Alpha version are available now, and early access to the Beta launch is expected to occur in Q3 2022.

 

The Planet Genesis Public Sale will allow buyers to purchase Asteroids and Planets (referred to collectively as “Planets”) in a range of sizes. A full guide to Planet sizes and prices is available here, and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare for the Planet Sale can be found here. Ownership of a Planet is not required to play Phantom Galaxies. 

 

Players will be able to purchase Planets during the sale via any of three channels: the Forj Launchpad starting on 26 May 2022; directly from the official Phantom Galaxies website on 27 May 2022; and via OpenSea auctions starting on 27 May 2022 (eight Planets will be available via auctions on OpenSea).

 

Each Planet will have its own coordinates within the Phantom Galaxies universe and randomized traits that will make it unique. Planets confer a number of benefits to owners: each Planet generates an emission of the Phantom Galaxies governance and utility token based on its size and gameplay factors, and also offers various in-game opportunities, allowing players to govern their Planets as they wish and build a range of structures including marketplaces, hangars, refineries, and more.

 

Each Planet will emit the Phantom Galaxies token based on gameplay factors such as visits to a Planet, development and construction, and completion of missions. This approach incentivises play and is part of the ‘gameplay first’ core values of Phantom Galaxies.

 

The Phantom Galaxies token will be the main governance, utility, and currency token in the game, used for upgrading mechas, developing planets, exercising voting rights in guilds and organizations, and much more. The first opportunity that players will have to earn Phantom Galaxies tokens is the upcoming Astrafite Rush event, which will offer massive token rewards for Planet owners.

 

There are currently over 125,000 users playing the Alpha version of Phantom Galaxies and over 500,000 owners of the NFTs granting access to the Alpha game. These NFTs have generated a trading volume on OpenSea of more than 1,700 ETH (equivalent to over US$3 million based on current exchange rate).

 

CORRECTION: this announcement has been updated on 13 October 2022 to reflect the latest mechanism of how Phantom Galaxies governance and utility token (i.e., ASTRAFER) can be earned by owning a Planet. The Planet does not emit a minimum amount of the ASTRAFER token; emission of the token is based on the size of the Planet and player's gameplay factors.
