About “Guild of Guardians”

Already in development since March 2021, Immutable and Stepico’s joint gaming project is a mobile RPG where players summon guardians, join a guild, and defend Elderym in this revolutionary fantasy RPG.

The Biggest Esports Teams Going Web3

Under the partnership, esports household names, including Cloud9, Fnatic, NAVI, Ninjas in Pyjamas, NRG, SK Gaming, T1, and Team Liquid will join the vibrant fantasy world of GOG, representing their brands as full-fledged, playable characters. These characters will be tradable as digital collectibles on the fully carbon-neutral scaling solution, Immutable X. The partners will build the future of web3 gaming and open Guild of Guardians to communities around the world.

GOG’s unprecedented partnership with the world’s leading esports teams will help expose millions of their fans — in addition to over 250,000 already pre-registered players — to the future of web3 gaming.

“This is an incredible opportunity to team up with some of the most prominent and recognizable names in the professional esports space.
