What is Guild of Guardians?

Guild of Guardians is a Web3 RPG, built on Immutable, and available on both iOS and Android.

Developed by Stepico Games and published by Immutable, players assemble squads of characters called Guardians – with classic RPG roles such as tank, support and DPS – to take on increasingly challenging dungeons filled with monsters, bosses and loot. Battles play out in real-time, with cohesion between your squad members being crucial to success.

The game features multiple modes, including the core Endless PvE mode, and the Arena – where players can take on each other to prove their prowess. Seasonal challenges give players an ever-evolving experience, with sought-after rewards that will keep you coming back for more.

Powered by Immutable, many of Guild of Guardian’s assets exist as NFT collectibles. These NFTs – such as Guardians, avatars, pets and much more – can be freely traded by players, providing true item ownership to players and a route to valuable rewards for all participants.

What is in the anniversary event?

The Guild of Guardians anniversary event comes in several parts.

One Guardian has been updated, and a new Guardian has landed. Lia has been fully revised, with a new character model and refreshed skills that should make her a more competitive pick for your squads in both PvE and PvP. Myra is a brand-new DPS Guardian, with a set of skills that lowers enemy defences, creates clones of herself, and sees dodges heal her HP.

The Arena now features the Rise of the Founders event, giving Founders Guardians powerful boosts during the anniversary. Top leaderboard rankings during the event will earn special rewards, with Rank 1 to earn a one-of-a-kind Mythic Tian Long skin, and the top 500 players to earn Idols that can be sacrificed for a chance to mint Gen 1 and Founders Guardians. Endless mode also sees new modifiers, with the top 500 players also set to earn Idol rewards.

An Anniversary Event Pass – in both free and premium tiers – will run throughout the event. The free tier provides up to 1 million gold, 20 Summon Stones, and a copy of Tian Long, whilst the premium tier – priced at $29.99 USD – provides much more gold and Summon Stones, alongside exclusive skins, Power Stones, XP scrolls and a special avatar and title.

What is YGG Play?

YGG Play is the new publishing arm of Yield Guild Games but unlike YGG’s previous model, which centred on asset delegation and game investment, this division focuses on producing and distributing games internally.

The goal, according to YGG, is to design games that reflect the behaviours and interests of people already active in cryptocurrency, NFT trading, and blockchain-based platforms.

Co-founder Gabby Dizon said the move reflects lessons learned since YGG’s founding in 2020. The company believes its experience in both traditional and blockchain gaming has informed a more targeted strategy that focuses on simpler, shorter-form games.

What games are on the platform?

The first title to launch on YGG Play is LOL Land, a web-based board game with four themed maps: YGG City, Beach Day, Carnival, and Ice World Wonderland. In the game, players can choose between a free mode, which allows unlimited rolls, or a premium mode that includes token rewards. Points earned in premium mode are tied to a $10 million pool of YGG tokens, which can be used within the broader YGG ecosystem.

YGG has not yet announced additional titles under the YGG Play label, but it has indicated that future projects will continue to prioritise crypto-native users over conventional gaming audiences. The company is not positioning itself to compete with large-scale game studios, but rather to provide lightweight, blockchain-based games for a niche but active user base.

Dizon noted that whilst developing games on emerging technologies is challenging, YGG sees continued potential in the space. Future releases from YGG Play are expected to build on the lessons of LOL Land and further explore how blockchain mechanics can be integrated into simple, accessible game formats.
