YGG SEA and Infinity Ventures Crypto will acquire a constellation in Apeiron‘s mythologically inspired galaxy, which will come with its own NFTs, cosmetics, and tokens for guild scholars.

Apeiron is offering gameplay where players will act as godlings, newborn gods, and take over planets full of Doods. Every planet offers different gameplay experience and a unique NFT. Players can earn a variety of tokens and additional NFTs by playing the game.

The game is currently valued at US$80 million. Its first NFT presale is slated for the end of the first quarter of 2022, with the game set to launch in late 2022.
