Exclusive Cards, Events, and Even More Rewards Announced

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today marks a major milestone as Bazooka Tango officially opens the doors to the Shardbound Open Beta, making the game available to players worldwide on Steam and the Epic Games Store. This highly anticipated release brings exclusive rewards to over 100,000 pre-registered players, including a unique set of playable cards: 1 Rare, 1 Epic, and 1 Legendary—giving players the upper hand in building their decks and dominating the battlefield.

In addition to the card distribution, Shardbound is also launching its partnership with Immutable’s Main Quest, the largest web3 gaming rewards program. Players who complete quests can earn Gems, redeemable for IMX, offering even more opportunities to enhance their game experience.

“Shardbound’s open beta is a huge moment for us, and for the players who’ve been waiting to get in on the action,” said Bo Daly, Co-founder of Bazooka Tango. “We’ve always believed in creating games that are fun to play but also have that extra depth for those who want to dig in. This is just the start of what we have planned, and I can’t wait to see how players take the game and make it their own.”

Stephan Sherman, Co-founder of Bazooka Tango, added, “Look, we didn’t just want to make another card game. As we said during development, ‘Every card, a story’, and I honestly hope players will fall in love with the characters and sprawling lore we’ve hand crafted for the world of Shardbound.”
