A hero in Champions: Ascension

Jam City will auction its first Champions: Ascension characters

Jam City is releasing 10,000 of its limited-edition Prime Eternals NFTs this week in its first upcoming blockchain game Champions: Ascension.

The prime Eternals are the first characters known as champions that will be available for the Champions: Ascension fantasy-themed gladiatorial arena game with role-playing elements. It’s going to be a real test about whether gamers will accept blockchain games as mainstream entertainment.
