Eternal League Roadmap Unveils NFTs and Web3 Launch Plans

The future of blockchain games just got a little more exciting. Eternal Squares, the developer behind the roguelike action RPG Eternal League, has officially shared its latest roadmap—and it’s filled with some big Web3 news that’s sure to spark interest across the crypto-gaming community.

Whether you’re a seasoned blockchain gamer or new to the genre, here’s everything you need to know about Eternal League’s transition into Web3, and why this could be one of the most anticipated blockchain games of 2025.

Eternal League Heads to the Epic Games Store

Following its Early Access launch on Steam in March 2025, Eternal League is now preparing to take a giant leap into the blockchain space. According to the newly published roadmap, the Web3 version of the game will be hitting the Epic Games Store in June 2025.

This launch will officially integrate blockchain elements into the game, supported by a partnership with Immutable, known for its scalable and gas-free infrastructure.

Why is this a big deal? Epic Games Store has been one of the few major platforms open to Web3 integration, and this move marks a significant milestone—not just for Eternal League, but for the broader adoption of blockchain in mainstream gaming.

NFTs Are Coming: Meet the Eternal League Squads

Not long after the Web3 launch, July will introduce the Eternal League Squads NFT Collection. While specific utilities for these NFTs haven’t been revealed yet, expect them to play a core role in the game’s evolving ecosystem.

NFTs in games like this typically unlock exclusive heroes, skins, or even gameplay mechanics. Eternal League’s Squads could offer unique strategic advantages—or simply bragging rights for early collectors.

This is another exciting addition to the growing lineup of play-and-earn opportunities in blockchain games, and one we’ll be keeping a close eye on.

Challenge Season 1: Earn, Compete, and Build

In August, Eternal League will kick off Challenge Season 1, where players can start earning the game’s native token: Eternal Shards (EST).

Here’s what we know so far:

• Total Supply: 1 billion EST

• Blockchain: Immutable zkEVM

• Utility:

  • Entry fees for tournaments and events

  • Currency for the in-game NFT marketplace

  • Used in crafting, upgrading, and repairing Gear NFTs

  • Purchase of enhancement boosters and potions

  • Token staking for governance and exclusive rewards

That’s right—this isn’t just another utility token. EST is designed to power nearly every in-game function, giving real value to your time and effort.

And yes, you’ll also be rewarded for more than just combat: community contributions like content creation and referrals will earn you tokens too. It’s a smart and inclusive approach to player engagement.

A New Game in the Universe? Web3 Card Game Coming Soon

The Eternal League universe isn’t stopping at one game. The roadmap also hints at a Web3 card game launching in beta by Q4 2025. This spin-off will likely leverage characters, lore, and items from the core game, offering a new dimension for fans of the franchise.

Although details are scarce, the idea of a strategic card game set in this sci-fi world adds a compelling layer to the growing Eternal League ecosystem.

Challenge Season 2: More Rewards, More Competition

The fun doesn’t stop with one season. December 2025 will bring Challenge Season 2, giving players another chance to earn EST tokens, climb the leaderboards, and unlock more rare NFTs.

This consistent rollout of content helps ensure a living, breathing economy—and keeps things fresh for players who crave ongoing progression and community events.

What Makes Eternal League Stand Out?

If you haven’t yet played Eternal League, here’s a quick primer on what makes it special:

• Genre: Sci-fi roguelike action RPG

• Gameplay: Top-down, fast-paced, strategic combat

• Customization: Deep hero-building with dynamic, session-based progression

• Unique Systems: Glyph-based skill randomization, recruitable companions with unique skills

• Current Availability: Early Access on Steam for $5.99

The developers have already teased more content in the full release, including new heroes, levels, and gameplay mechanics. Whether you're into solo adventures or co-op action, Eternal League offers something for every type of gamer.

What’s Next?

While the Web3 version of the game is slated for June 2025, with more details expected in the coming weeks, there’s already a lot to be excited about. Between the EST economy, the NFT collection, and the prospect of cross-genre expansion into card gaming, Eternal League is shaping up to be a prime example of how blockchain games are leveling up.

So, if you haven’t jumped in yet, now might be a great time to grab the Steam version and get a feel for the gameplay—before the full Web3 experience drops.
