Big Time Studios has announced that the Player vs. Player (PvP) mode for its flagship Web3 game, Big Time, will launch on December 2. The update follows a successful Preseason phase and aims to deliver a new competitive experience for players.
Big Time: A Free-to-Play ARPG
Big Time is a free-to-play multiplayer action role-playing game (ARPG) with fast combat and exploration across multiple eras. Developed by Big Time Studios, the game is built on blockchain so you can collect, trade and own in-game items.
The game also features a player-driven economy where players can craft and upgrade items like weapons and armor, which can then be traded within the game. This economy operates using $BIGTIME tokens, which players earn through gameplay and use for in-game transactions.
What PvP Mode Brings to Big Time
The Preseason of Big Time was a big success. 310,000+ players participated, $443 million in marketplace activity and nearly 2 million digital collectibles sold.
These milestones reflect the game’s growing player base and its ability to combine engaging gameplay with blockchain functionality.
PvP mode introduces Player vs. Environment vs. Player (PvEvP) battles where teams compete to complete objectives, defeat enemies and earn $BIGTIME tokens. Matches will last 30-45 minutes and require strategy and adaptability.
Players will enter the PvP experience in Epoch City and access the central portal to the Broken Clock Hall PvP lobby. They will register their teams, pay an entrance fee in $BIGTIME tokens, and then face challenges.
Success in PvP mode depends on teamwork and preparation. Players can select roles using Pocket Watches, which grant specialized abilities, and allocate skill points to optimize their strategies. Matches end in the central arena, where teams will face off against other teams and guardians to win.
The mode aims to provide a competitive edge to the game while maintaining the accessible, fast-paced experience that has made Big Time successful.
Expanding the Blockchain Gaming Ecosystem
Big Time Studios has developed the Open Loot platform, providing developers with tools to create engaging games and offering players access to exclusive NFTs, in-game perks, and tradable items.
Big Time earn the Best RPG award at the Gam3 Awards and the launch of PvP mode should enhance the game’s appeal further. As the December 2 release date approaches, anticipation is building among players eager to explore this new competitive feature in Big Time’s expanding universe.
