Dive into the dark fantasy world of the Aether Universe. That’s right — Polemos is pleased to announce our newest partnership with Aether Games! Not only is this game development studio a rising star in the NFT blockchain fantasy genre, but they are also publishers. We could not be more excited to partner with this artistic and innovative project!

Top-Tier Talent

The team at Aether Games boasts an impressive resume. At the helm of this studio is Jens Peeters — CEO, Founder and Esports Manager. Jens also works as a manager for Esports celebrities and influencers, and has worked on projects for Mastercard Priceless, Lenovo Legion, Fnatic, Overwolf, GAMURS, Evil Geniuses, Veritas, and Anker.

Aether Games has a massive tech team, raking in a combined 150 developers from NoOne Studios, Red Shift, and Dynamic Augmented Solutions. These game development veterans have worked on AAA titles such as God of War, League of Legends, FarCry 6, Hearthstone, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon — just to name a few.

NoOne Studios is not only doing 3D production for Aether Games, but they will also be creating an animated series called Aether, predicted to be a contemporary of Netflix’s Arcane. This studio is connected to several online television hosts and has produced multiple episodes of Love, Death + Robots.

Two Blockchain Games

Aether Games has an in-house blockchain research and development facility known as AetherLabs. This facility has been on the frontlines of creation for the studio’s two games: Cards of Ethernity, a digital collectible card battler, and Gates of Ethernity, a PC NFT auto battler with a compatible AR viewer. Both games and their respective tokens are multi-chain across all of the main chains.

Cards of Ethernity

Collect. Explore. Conquer.

Prepare for the battle of a lifetime. Choose one of the 10 brave Adventurers that best suits your playstyle. Each Adventurer is equipped with specialized tricks, spells, creatures, and relics to personalize the player’s experience.

Face the battle head-on in Player vs. Player (PVP) or Player vs. Environment (PVE) modes. Use the in-game collection browser to learn more about each card inspired by dark fantasy. Can you collect all 150?

This Play and Earn collectible NFT competitive card game is designed to be quick yet complex. The level of depth in which Cards of Ethernity is played is completely up to the player. Go all in by completing daily quests, strategizing with the craft and upgrade system, and participating in the staking plan. Players who prefer more casual gameplay will find their needs met here as well with both Play to Earn and Free to Play options.

Gates of Ethernity

Become completely absorbed in a dark fantasy world with vibrant graphics and a compelling narrative. This next generation of 3D NFT autobattlers shares an ecosystem with Cards of Ethernity for a fully immersive experience in the Ethernity Universe.

The path to victory in Gates of Ethernity is paved with careful strategy and superior tactics. Currently, there are ninety 3D Ethernals, Gates of Ethernity’s NFT. These formidable and powerful creatures gladly go to battle to protect Master — you. Send these creatures to war in either PVP or PVE matches.

Say goodbye to reality as you know it with AR compatibility, adding a real-life Pokemon-Go element to this blockchain battler. The ability to collect, battle, and upgrade mythical NFT creatures in the real world creates nearly-endless replay potential.

Lore

Gates of Ethernity is more than a game — it is an entire history spanning over three ages and 5,096 years.

Three gods merged as one to create the Aether Games Universe, ruling over space, matter, and time to become an all-powerful force.

“They move as one being, immutable and complete. Much time passes like this, and eventually, they begin to experiment. They pull together the pieces of themselves, matter, space, and time, with meticulous abandon. They form stars, comets, and galaxies — so the universe is shaped bit by bit. Finally, a planet, their favorite, emerges through the settling dust of creation. This planet intrigues them, and they decide, as eternal and whole as they are, to test their work. They cannot, however, experience it in their condition…”

Aether Games Tokenomics

In Gates of Ethernity, $AEG token will be used for in-game consumables, Adventurers NFTs, Ethernals, and payment for any transaction fees. Gates of Ethernity NFTs are ERC-721 standard tokens that will be deployed at the same time on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon.

The Ethernals found in both the first and second drop from Aether Games are considered Genesis NFTs. All holders of Genesis NFTs will automatically be given an asset or NFT for any games that Ethernity Games releases in the future.

In Cards of Ethernity, $AEG will be used for all card packs, including thematic card decks, spells and relics, treasure chests and their respective keys, transaction fees, goodwill, and Ethernals. $AEG will also be used for all cosmetic specs, such as Adventurer skins and card backs. Gaining access to a Battle Pass Golden Ticket, which allows for entry into the Colosseum, is also purchasable with $AEG.
