As we continue to squash bugs, adjust balance, and add new features, we believe we are ready to jump head first into the next phase. With your continued support, we plan on focusing on one of our core objectives for the future of Faeria: Entering the eSports scene in a big, big way.

That said, we have a few important announcements to make.

We’ve made no secret that we intend to take our future competitive scene very seriously. Faeria is a game we’ve designed that is “easy to learn, hard to master”. We want to see just how fantastic the highest levels of Faeria mastery can be. We know that eventually our top players will push the game to these levels for everyone to witness. We want to support those players as much as we can while at the same time attracting others into our growing scene.

$100,000

In short: We are committed to investing $100,000 in cash prizes into the Faeria eSports scene between now and the end of the year.

We’ve said we are sincere about investing into our tournament environment, and we meant it. This is another way for us to give back to those who have supported us, while expanding our reach to the competitive strategy game audience we know is waiting out there, hungry for entertainment.

How will you do this?

Let’s talk about a real example coming your way in the very near future.

GamersOrigin Faeria Clash

We are kicking our plans off by announcing a $5000 cash prize tournament from our friends and partners at GamersOrigin. (http://gofaeriaclash.com)

Prizes:

• 1st place: $2500
• 2nd: $1500
• 3rd: $1000

Two open qualifiers with 256 slots each will take place on April 16th and 17th.

These two qualifiers will leave us with 8 qualified finalists, who will move on to play in the cash prize tournament finals on April 23rd. In addition to those 8 qualified players, we will be inviting 8 other special guest competitors you most certainly will recognise from other competitive card game scenes. The finals will be cast in French and English from GamersOrigin studios in Paris. Check out the official tournament page to see the current talent line-up.

It will be a lot of fun, and we'd love for you to join us.

Sign up for the qualifiers here and here.

This will be the first of many official sponsored tournaments to come. Needless to say, we are very excited for what else is in store for the rest of this year.

New Early Access pricing option: $8.99

In addition to the above, starting today we will be introducing a new pricing option for Faeria’s Early Access period.

Starting today, you will now be able to enter into Faeria Early Access for $8.99. More information here

Please note that this is not the same purchasing option as the Starter Pack bundle you are already familiar with, which will continue to exist during Early Access. The $8.99 option will be for access to the game only, and will not contain the booster packs, Pandora tickets, or special cosmetics the Starter Pack provides. This new pricing model will make our game even more accessible to a wider audience. Having completed the first phase of our Early Access, we are now confident that we can technically support a larger number of simultaneous users.

Due to a technical issue on the Steam Store, the new option isn't accessible yet. We are working with Valve in order to fix the problem but it might take until Tuesday to get properly sorted. In the meantime, G2A has the new price available.

In-game tournament features

Last week, we’ve already introduced the first iteration of our spectating feature. While we will continue to improve this feature for tournament and streaming purposes, we will also be implementing other in-game features that make running and participating in tournaments much easier. We’ll have more detailed info on these specific features later.
