Swords of Blood Project Introduction
Swords of Blood is a unique RPG role-playing game that combines hack and slash mechanics with the Polygon blockchain. With highly detailed game visuals, AAA-quality graphics, animation effects, and smooth gameplay, it offers players an unparalleled gaming experience. With stunning artwork, engaging gameplay, and various modes including dungeon exploration, mini-bosses, single-player expansions, tournaments, and 4/8/16 player PvP modes, players can earn tokens and valuable NFTs.
Swords of Blood was initially released by Artifex Mundi in 2018, with over $6 million spent during its development. Recently, HitBox Games LLC obtained exclusive rights to release the new Web2 game Blade Bound, integrating Swords of Blood as a Web3 expansion of Blade Bound, incorporating its game story background, game mechanics, animation technology, etc., onto the blockchain, and providing NFTs for trading its game assets.
The game aims to attract as many traditional web2 players as possible by eliminating every potential barrier present in many current Play-To-Earn games. It features multiple play-to-earn mechanisms, but its main attraction for players is the game itself, its fun factor (Play-To-Win), rather than just the possibility of making money (P2E). The game design focuses on retaining and monetizing players over the long term through various mechanisms, modes, and features. Every player has the opportunity to earn rewards by playing the game, being active in the community, participating in tournaments, minting legendary items, and selling them as NFTs (or GUT game utility tokens - tournament tickets).
The project moves away from the "Play-To-Earn" (P2E) mechanism and uses an innovative "Play-To-Own" (P2O) setup, incentivizing players to have fun and play normally, rather than "grinding" for tokens. This "grinding" has been one of the main drawbacks of the P2E sector, as it leads most players to complete monotonous tasks during long gaming events—just to earn some extra tokens in the quickest way possible. The Swords of Blood team has recognized this issue and is addressing it by adjusting the game mechanics to maintain long-term appeal.
Swords of Blood has a clearly defined roadmap with specific completion dates. This will help investors closely monitor the project's progress. At this stage, Swords of Blood is working hard to release its closed beta version. This will allow industry experts to test the game and assess any potential security threats. The team is also conducting a presale event, which will help fund the project's development.
The open beta version will be launched in Q2 to Q3 of 2023, and the testing phase for its multiplayer mode will also take place during this period. The team will also focus on developing its NFT marketplace, GUT, game tutorials, and tournament enhancements. By the end of 2023, Swords of Blood aims to reach a market value of $150 million. As we enter early 2024, the mainnet version will be launched. The team also plans to determine its tournament-based reward distribution and in-game NFT system. Ultimately, the project's goal is to reach a market value of over $450 million by the end of 2024.

Presale Phase 2 price: $0.07/SWDTKN, currently ongoing;
Presale Phase 3 price: $0.08/SWDTKN, awaiting launch;

With the arrival of the second and third phases, the token price will rise from $0.054 to $0.07/$0.08. The enthusiasm for this presale highlights the potential of Swords of Blood to become one of the leading GameFi games in the market.
