The developers of Trinity Of The Fabled have released a new Early Access build on Steam for NFT holders and users with the Discord Alpha role to enjoy as the studio continues to make the action RPG ready for its public launch on PC’s biggest marketplace and beyond.
This latest build introduces new characters, items, enemies, visual effects, bug fixes, and various improvements, alongside 2 new features: player ghosts and leaderboards. With the new features, playing the game online will now let you see the ghosts of other players who previously went through the area you’re exploring, while defeating bosses will be rewarded with points for climbing the leaderboard. There are also new in-game items for $ABYS token holders to unlock depending on the number of tokens held. At least 750 $ABYS tokens is needed to unlock the first reward tier, which gives you 10 health potions. To unlock all rewards tiers, you need to hold 7000 $ABYS tokens, granting you access to new rings, amulets, and characters to use.
How to Play Trinity Of The Fabled’s New Early Access Release
This early access build represents a closed alpha version that you can only get a Steam key for by getting the Discord Alpha role in their official server. This role can be obtained either by collecting 2000 Ashes (their exclusive Discord currency) to spend on the role, or by holding one of these 2 NFTs: The Fabled MintPass, or The Fabled MintKey. Both can be found in the game’s official NFT collection page on OpenSea and bought via the Polygon network, with the floor price of the former being 0.25 ETH, while the cheapest listing for the latter is currently 0.044 ETH.
Owning The Fabled MintPass will not only let you play the game early, but it should also get you a Fabled Hero Discord role, giving you exclusive access to news before non-NFT holders while making you eligible for potential future airdrops, including the ability to free mint 2 characters and 2 weapons if you’re included in a snapshot. One snapshot seems to have already taken place, and according to a Discord message and announcement from June this year, all the details you need to know will be provided before the second snapshot takes place. No timeframe is currently known, as the team previously expected it to happen in the summer, so unless it’s been secretly done already, it looks like you might still be able to get your free share of characters and weapon NFTs. All of the same should apply to holders of The Fabled MintKey, but instead of 2, you get to free mint 1 character and 1 weapon instead.
If you want to collect the Ashes currency and obtain access that way, then you’ll need to claim Ashes every day, be an active community member for chat rewards, and level up to reach certain milestones awarding more Ashes. Claiming every day gives you a streak bonus, and you can also bet your earned Ashes in Discord mini-games such as Roulette and Rock, Paper, and Scissors for a chance at getting enough Ashes quicker.
Eventually, the Early Access version on Steam will become available for everyone to play for free. There are also plans to bring the web3 game to the Epic Games Store. No public release date has been announced yet, but you might be able to jump into this blockchain-powered fantasy world for free near the end of 2024.
What Is Trinity Of The Fabled?
Trinity Of The Fabled is a free to play dark fantasy action RPG in which you explore the corrupted worlds of the Abyss in search of power, treasures, and secrets. As you traverse interdimensional environments made in Unreal Engine 5, you’ll come across a variety of different characters but also encounter deadly enemies and bosses to face in third-person, soulslike gameplay as one of 3 different races: Fabled warriors, gods, or demons. NPCs will feature in-depth AI behavior and branching dialogs, allowing you to create allies and foes. The decisions you make will allow you to recruit allies and bring them on your journey as useful combat companions. Next to varied on-foot exploration and punishing but engaging and rewarding combat, players will also be able to ride their own dragon and experience “unique mounted gameplay in a way never done before” while upgrading their beast with new abilities.
As you progress through a challenging level, you will earn Ashes, an in-game currency used to buy consumables and similar items. It can be earned by collecting loot but also by slaying enemies and bosses. If you die or complete the level, you lose all collected Ashes.
This blockchain game will utilize a seasonal system in order to constantly progress the narrative by delivering new characters, lore, and new worlds to explore in the Abyss, as well as new NFTs such as weapons and items to earn in a limited amount of time. PvE gameplay is the focus for the initial release, with PvP and co-op to potentially arrive in the future.
What Play to Earn Features Are There in Trinity Of The Fabled?
Those who want to blend the soulslike genre with blockchain gaming will be able to participate in play to earn leaderboards by holding a certain number of $ABYS tokens. These leaderboards are used for The Fabled Arenas, which are events where you complete various challenges and fight waves of enemies and bosses to climb to the top of a global leaderboard. Details on rewards you can earn have not yet been revealed.
Outside of leaderboards, you will also be able to earn rare items through gameplay alone, but to mint them into NFTs, you will need to own a Summoning Key, which is the new name for The Fabled MintPass/MintKey. Every item has unique stats and the chances of finding one in a level or having it dropped from defeating an enemy will depend on its rarity. Minting an off-chain item into an NFT makes the playable asset tradable on NFT marketplaces but also usable in Arena events.
With all that said, while the game itself will be free to play without connecting a wallet, accessing play to earn features will likely require getting a future downloadable Polygon-based blockchain version on the game’s official website or on Elixir.
$ABYS
$ABYS is a deflationary ERC-20 token that lets you enter Arena events by holding a specific amount of tokens while giving you access to staking programs to farm more $ABYS. It’s also used to upgrade weapons and items, as well as to unlock access to exclusive rewards and in-game drops. It also grants you the ability to use premium weapons, items, and characters depending on the number of tokens held. The token is already live, and NFT holders and Zealy participants have previously been able to claim their $ABYS token airdrop.
