For every pack of cards sold, 10% of the profits go to a pool of money which will become the grand prize for its annual tournaments, the first of which is expected in 2019.

Currently, the prize pool stands at over $290,000 with the goal of reaching $1.3 million.

Tournament passes – sold out

Originally distributed within Legendary sets and card packs, since distribution began, all 20,000 of the initial passes have been sent out. While they’re sold out at the moment, the Gods Unchained team will be announcing future channels where players can purchase a ticket from other players.

The $60,000 Titan

Making up one of the four ‘Genesis Titans’, Hyperion was placed up for auction, raking in over 146 ETH, making it the second most valuable card in the world, and placing it behind Magic: The Gathering’s ‘Alpha Black Lotus’, which cost $87,000.

Fuel Bros stated that Hyperion would be the only Titan card available on auction, leaving two more that lucky players may find in a pack of cards. Meanwhile, players will have to find out how to find the third Titan card.

It’s introducing GU API

The Fuel Bros have also announced that it is introducing the Alpha version of its API, which gives users the ability to build third-party tools. Over the course of this and next year, it will be gradually releasing documentation and upgrades to the API.
