Big Time Studios has announced exciting news for fans of its flagship Web3 game, Big Time. The highly anticipated Player vs. Player (PvP) mode is set to launch on December 2, following a successful Preseason phase. This new update aims to provide players with a fresh competitive experience that will take the game to new heights.
Big Time is a free-to-play multiplayer action role-playing game (ARPG) that offers fast-paced combat and exploration across various eras. Developed by Big Time Studios, the game is unique in that it is built on blockchain technology, allowing players to collect, trade, and own in-game items. The game also features a player-driven economy where players can craft and upgrade items such as weapons and armor, which can then be traded within the game using $BIGTIME tokens earned through gameplay.
The PvP mode in Big Time brings a whole new level of excitement to the game. The Preseason of Big Time was a massive success, with over 310,000 players participating, $443 million in marketplace activity, and nearly 2 million digital collectibles sold. These impressive milestones demonstrate the game’s growing popularity and its ability to seamlessly integrate engaging gameplay with blockchain functionality.
In PvP mode, players will engage in Player vs. Environment vs. Player (PvEvP) battles where teams compete to complete objectives, defeat enemies, and earn $BIGTIME tokens. Matches will last between 30-45 minutes and will require strategic thinking and adaptability from players. To enter the PvP experience, players will go to Epoch City and access the central portal to the Broken Clock Hall PvP lobby, where they can register their teams, pay an entrance fee in $BIGTIME tokens, and then face various challenges.
Success in PvP mode will depend on teamwork and preparation. Players can choose roles using Pocket Watches, which grant specialized abilities, and allocate skill points to optimize their strategies. Matches will culminate in the central arena, where teams will battle against each other and guardians to emerge victorious.
The introduction of PvP mode aims to provide a competitive edge to the game while maintaining the accessible and fast-paced experience that has made Big Time a success. Big Time Studios has also developed the Open Loot platform, which offers developers tools to create engaging games and provides players with access to exclusive NFTs, in-game perks, and tradable items. With Big Time winning the Best RPG award at the Gam3 Awards, the launch of the PvP mode is expected to further enhance the game’s appeal and expand the blockchain gaming ecosystem.
