Stone Blade Entertainment Launches SolForge Fusion into Web3, Enabling Player Ownership and Reward Earning

Las Vegas, April 29, 2024 - Stone Blade Entertainment, a pioneering publisher and developer of strategy games, is venturing into the realm of Web3 with the launch of its flagship game, SolForge Fusion. This innovative move empowers players to mint their algorithmically generated decks into tradeable digital assets and earn rewards through rare unlocks.

SolForge Fusion, a product of legendary game designers Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering) and Justin Gary (Ascension Deckbuilding Game), has garnered significant traction since its recent release on Steam Early Access. This latest addition to the game's ecosystem allows players to unlock a myriad of benefits while playing and contributing to the SolForge Fusion community.

Stone Blade Entertainment has partnered with industry leaders in Web3, including Animoca Brands, Solana Foundation, and MatrixPort, to propel this groundbreaking initiative. These esteemed companies share the vision of transforming SolForge Fusion into a gaming experience that is truly owned and operated by its community.

The token and non-fungible token (NFT) launch, slated for early June 2024, will mark the debut of exclusive decks, the capability to mint decks into digital assets, and weekly content drops. Aligned with Stone Blade Entertainment's Community Owned Games initiative, the company is introducing a novel token that grants players ownership and the opportunity to reap the rewards of SolForge Fusion's success.

Dubbed SFG, this token will be distributed free of charge to participants in the early access game and the Discord community. Players can also acquire SFG through tournaments, gameplay, and community events. Its utility extends to in-game cosmetic item purchases, packs, digital assets, and the minting of existing decks.

"Stone Blade Entertainment takes pride in spearheading cutting-edge technologies that elevate tabletop gaming and expand its reach to new audiences," said Justin Gary, CEO of Stone Blade Entertainment and Co-creator of SolForge Fusion. "SolForge Fusion caters to diverse playstyles, encompassing tabletop card gameplay, roguelite PC gaming, and the ownership prospects of Web3. Each component revolves around the core of engaging gameplay and complements the others. This latest addition empowers players to choose their preferred gaming mode and truly own their physical and digital collections."
