The Epic Games Store is now hosting Aurory’s “Seekers of Tokane,” a Solana-based role-playing game, for a brief public play period.
Previously exclusive to NFT owners and those with special access codes, “Aurory” has opened its “Seekers of Tokane” segment to all gamers via the Epic Games Store. This segment offers a glimpse into the expansive world of Aurory, inviting players to engage in battles with creatures known as Nefties and explore a vibrant, fantasy environment. The game adopts a roguelike gameplay style, challenging players to collect loot and safely exit the game world, with the risk of losing everything upon defeat.
This opportunity for public access is available from February 12th to February 26th, coinciding with the in-game event “Dracurve’s Awakening,” which also introduces the chance to earn cryptocurrency rewards, such as AURY tokens and unique in-game NFTs.
Aurory has committed to distributing $50,000 in AURY tokens, allocating $35,000 to Aurorian NFT owners and the remainder to those without NFTs. Additionally, the game will feature exclusive NFT collectibles and “Draconic Eggs” for players. The specifics of how these rewards will be distributed remain unclear, and inquiries for more details have been made to the Aurory team.
The game initially made its debut on the Epic Games Store in November with “Seekers of Tokane.” The Epic Games Store, known for its massive user base of 230 million by the end of 2022, is the brainchild of Epic Games. This platform has emerged as a key hub for crypto and NFT-based games, contrasting with its competitor, Steam, which has adopted a more cautious approach to crypto-related content.
Aurory not only spans multiple gaming experiences but has also expanded across blockchain networks, including a move to the Ethereum scaling solution, Arbitrum, in pursuit of a broader audience. Despite this expansion, the game’s bridge to Arbitrum suffered a significant security breach in December, resulting in a loss of $830,000 in AURY tokens.
