It is time to wave farewell to the sensation that was Arc8 Season 4. We witnessed the true power of Web3 technology in bringing different communities together, forged successful partnerships with incredible brands, and introduced two amazing new games to the Arc8 platform.

Before we take a peek at what’s coming up next in Arc8, let’s look back at what Season 4 delivered:

Season 4 Round-up

Howdy, Partners!

Tokens, tokens and more tokens! Arc8 players had the opportunity to stock their wallets with tokens from the legendary Crypto Prophecies (TCP), from our friends at the Polygon Network (MATIC), and from QUIDD in the biggest Token Takeover we’ve ever hosted, where at least one of you earned enough to build a brand new gaming PC!

Pussy Galore!

Arc8 became a feline frenzy as players battled it out in the brand new game of Cool Cats Combinations to earn Cool Cats NFTs, Cool Cats G-Bot Starters, and even Cool Cats swag packs! The seamless interoperability of Web3 was plain to see as hundreds of Cool Cats and Cool Pets NFT owners dropped in to enjoy competing in exclusive tournaments.

Et tu, Cube

Is there anything gamers love more than cubes? Whether it’s an old-school Rubix cube, Portal’s ‘Companion Cube’, or literally everything in Minecraft, cubes bring joy and excitement to our lives. That’s why we created Qube 2048, where players can collide, punch and explode numbered cubes to their heart’s content. As we predicted, everybody loves it. Cubes — they never fail you.

The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

If you’ve ever watched Wall-E and wished you could adopt him, then winning your very own G-Bot Starter is probably as close as you’ll ever get to that. These fantastic NFTs are given away as rewards to Arc8 players, and unlock exclusive games in Arc8. Season 4 gave rise to G-Bot Starters themed with Cool Cats and Pirate Solitaire, plus five unique designs for Energy Wars. In total, 500 G-Bot Starters were given away!

What to Expect in Arc8 Season 5

(October 3rd — November 30th)

The Structure

Season 5 launches on October 3rd and will run until November 30th in these two stages:

Pre-Season (October 3–10): This practice phase gives time for players to hone their skills and master the Arc8 games they want to compete in
Main Season (October 10–November 30): Competitive token matches and tournaments return, giving players the chance to compete for GMEE and partner tokens

Spooktacular New Game!

What kind of arcade gaming app would we be if we didn’t have a ghost-filled maze? We’re setting things right in Season 5 with the launch of RUN!, a game where players guide their character through a haunted labyrinth, collecting loot and relics as they go. Avoid the phantoms that guard these ancient treasures and rack up all the points you can before the time runs out — or before you’re caught.

App-earance Matters

Throughout Season 5, Arc8 will be updated with quality-of-life and aesthetic upgrades. Here’s what you can look forward to seeing:

Matchmaking: players can now wait for up to 30 seconds to see who their opponent will be, or skip the wait and begin the game before getting matched
New Screens: The Results and Loading screens have both been improved — let us know what you think on Discord!
Hop Back In: Obsessed with Qube 2048? Want to see Haaland blasting balls into the net in Man City Striker? Players will now be able to hop back into their most-played games straight from the Dashboard

Friends With Benefits

As we’ve learned from every cop movie ever — you’re only as good as your partner. And that’s why Season 5 promises to host some fantastic new partnerships that shine the light on Web3 capabilities:

DOSE: Did somebody say zombies? A fitness app that sees you running from hordes of the undead, DOSE is a big player in the move-and-earn world. The DOSE token will soon be yours to collect in Arc8.
Metasoccer: Fans of Man City Striker will love this partnership! Earn the MSU token in Arc8 and use it in Metasoccer to build and manage a brand new club and train your players.
G-Bot Starters: Stay tuned for this one. More chances to win some funky G-Bot Starters and get access to exclusive G-Bot games in Arc8.

And let’s not forget the prize pools!
