**TORONTO, Canada, April 22nd, 2024/GamingWire/--**Parallel Studio, the visionary gaming studio that blends art and technology to create cutting-edge gaming experiences, is excited to launch its award winning trading card game on the Epic Games Store. With a team hailing from the likes of Blizzard, Epic Games, Ubisoft, Riot Games, and Xbox Game Studios, Parallel is on course to make waves in the card gaming world. Parallel is a free-to-play digital trading card game set in a captivating sci-fi universe, where five parallel evolutions of humanity battle for control of Earth 10,000 years in the future. Players collect cards, build 40-card decks combining cards from one of the five factions and the Universal pool, and engage in strategic battles against their peers. There are several points that separate Parallel from other TCGs in the space (ex. Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone, etc). Free to Play: players can play and earn cards with no purchase necessary. On top of that, Parallel compensates players that play for free by automatically entering them into weekly and monthly giveaways every season. This is on top of rewards players can get through in-game tournaments, battle pass, referring friends and winning ranked matches.
Bank Cards for Energy: players strategically choose which cards to bank each turn, gaining energy that allows them to play units, relics, effects and upgrades. Players will find that choosing what card to bank and what card to play is critical, as the right combination can create a powerful winning strategy.
Paragons & Factions: Parallel has 5 unique factions with 15 game changing leaders (Paragons) each with their own active/passive abilities helping players craft a unique play style.
Play At Your Pace: Parallel has different game modes for all types of players. Beginners and casual players can enjoy modes like unranked, AI and rookie. Competitive players can participate in the Ranked Ladder and Tournament Modes to earn exclusive rewards and prizes. Parallel is truly built for TCG veterans and new players to the genre. Founded in 2021, Parallel has already seen quite a bit of success. Despite its TCG being in open beta, the game has already won several game of the year awards. The studio has also announced a prize pool of $500,000 for its 2024 competitive scene. Along with that, several professional players and prominent creators that played Hearthstone have joined Parallel’s ambassador program, priming the game to be the next big TCG. Finally, the studio recently released an expansion set called "Planetfall" that is currently playable. The expansion set added over 100 new cards to the game and the studio plans to launch more expansion sets in the future. Quotes From Parallel "Our journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, and being on Epic marks a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy," says Sascha M, CEO & Co-Founder of Parallel. “Parallel going live on Epic opens us up to millions more players worldwide. This expansion into Epic comes alongside the kickoff of our global competitive series, the Parallel League, which has over $500,000 in prizes in its first year. But we don't plan to stop there. As we roll out more ways to access and play Parallel we also plan to scale our competitive prize pool into millions of dollars next year.” - Franklin Fitch, Head of Partnerships, Parallel Studios About Parallel Studios Parallel Studios is a revolutionary game development company creating the next AAA sci-fi franchise. Current projects include the Parallel TCG, an exciting science fiction card game in which five factions battle for supremacy over a future Earth, and Parallel Colony, an AI-powered idle game in which you play through conversation with your Avatar.

Parallel TCG Releases On Epic Games Store

The game industry is on the verge of undergoing a dramatic transition as a result of the launch of Wilder World, a massively multiplayer online metaverse of the next generation that combines old knowledge with cutting-edge technology in a seamless manner. It was just announced that this virtual world would be available for wishlisting on the Epic Games Store. The enormous city of Wiami is home to this attraction, which boasts an immersive experience unlike any other. In Wilder World, players have the chance to shape their own future by using a decentralised environment that encourages freedom and innovation. They must rebel against the authoritarian Government and forge their own path within this setting. Epic Games Store Listing: A Strategic Leap The decision to list Wilder World on the Epic Games Store, a platform boasting over 270 million total users and 75 million monthly active users, is a testament to the game's ambitious vision,  Frank Wilder, Co-founder of Wilder World, articulates this strategic move as "setting the pace for next-gen gaming in the metaverse." Epic Games and Wilder World have joined forces because they share the same goals and values: to change the status quo, especially the unfair middlemen that have been holding back the video game industry for a long time. The fact that Wilder World works with Nvidia's GeForce Now and SuperVerse shows how far it can spread. These deals make it possible for Wilder World to reach gamers on both the Web2 and Web3 networks. The company shows its commitment to keeping prices low while still supporting a huge world full of games by focusing on growth, which is made possible by relationships with Polygon and Celestia. Working with Metagravity also means that the virtual worlds can hold thousands of people, which makes it feel like you're really in the game. Coming of AAA Blockchain Games The game community is holding its breath as Wilder World gets ready for its wider release in 2024. The alpha testing process has already shown signs that this metaverse could change the rules of online games. Wilder World is more than just a game. It's a gateway to a new era of digital travel and connection, with its unique mix of old knowledge and cutting-edge technology from the future. Getting together with Epic Games Store is just the start of Wilder World's journey. The vast world of Wiami has a lot of room for growth and change, and that can only happen as more players explore it. This is what Frank Wilder put it: "to create a novel experience using cutting-edge technology, offering players a virtual space for gaming, socialising, and earning." With this kind of vision driving the project, Wilder World is set to become a model of freedom and new ideas in the metaverse. A Deep Dive into Wiami's Expansive Universe A competitive racing game that is presently in alpha testing and is scheduled for a wider release in 2024, Wilder World's first experience takes place in the city, which serves as the background for the game. Every region of the cosmos has a tale to tell, every race is a challenge, and every contact is an opportunity to create friendships that will last a lifetime. This is only the beginning of what promises to be an ever-evolving world. Not only is Wilder World a video game, but it is also an AAA enterprise of the future generation that showcases the pinnacle of photorealistic images and is equipped with complete artificial intelligence inside the game itself. The team that was in charge of creating the engine itself built it, and they used the cutting-edge Unreal Engine all throughout the process. Participating in a full economy in which everything from items and equipment to land and avatars exists as transferable digital assets is the goal of this metaverse. The objective of this metaverse is not restricted to just playing; rather, it is to actively participate in this economy. The fact that players have the capacity to earn genuine income makes it conceivable for a new paradigm to emerge in which gaming, socialising, and economic participation are all combined. Visit Wilder World's website and follow their X account to find out what's going on with them. Don't miss your chance to be a part of this groundbreaking project. Put Wilder World on your request on the Epic Games Store right now and be the first to create a new era of freedom and creation in the metaverse. Don’t forget to like and share the story!

LEGAL FRAMEWORK Preliminary injunctive relief, whether in the form of a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, is an "extraordinary and drastic remedy," that is never awarded as of right. , , , (2008) (internal citations omitted). "It is so well settled as not to require citation of authority that the usual function of a preliminary injunction is to preserve the status quo ante litem pending a determination of the action on the merits." , (9th Cir. 1963). A preliminary injunction is "not a preliminary adjudication on the merits but rather a device for preserving the status quo and preventing the irreparable loss of rights before judgment." , (9th Cir. 1984) (citation omitted).

Phoenix Software, Inc. 739 F.2d 1415, 1422 In order to obtain such relief, plaintiffs must establish four factors: (1) they are likely to succeed on the merits; (2) they are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; (3) the balance of equities tips in their favor; and (4) an injunction is in the public interest. , , (2008).

In other words, "if a plaintiff can only show that there are serious questions going to the merits—a lesser showing than likelihood of success on the merits—then a preliminary injunction may still issue if the balance of hardships tips sharply in the plaintiff's favor, and the other two factors are satisfied." , (9th Cir. 2013) (citations and quotations omitted). Thus, under the Ninth Circuit's " ‘sliding scale’ approach to these factors," "when the balance of hardships tips sharply in the plaintiff's favor, the plaintiff need demonstrate only ‘serious questions going to the merits.’ " , (9th Cir. 2019) (quoting , ).

It’s worth reading this from Matthew Ball about Epic Game’s long-term strategy over the years and where it’s leading. lengthy article I wrote last year ( ) about how Sweeney’s vision has been akin to a Blue Ocean Strategy all along, that the prize for the metaverse was the ultimate goal for the use of Unreal Engine. republished recently on LinkedIn “At Epic we succeed when developers succeed.” It’s true that Epic’s strategy has been to remove as many barriers for developers to gain access to their tools as possible at the expense of revenue — the majority of games will never hit over $1m in revenue so Epic will get no license fee revenue themselves. But with the metaverse being the goal there’s absolutely no way that, if achieves the promise of democratization for content creators, we should believe people using Unreal to build their virtual worlds and content won’t be making these numbers. web3 It’s a $5 trillion industry after all if the numbers are to be believed. “This Metaverse is going to be far more pervasive and powerful than anything else. If one central company gains control of this, they will become more powerful than any government and be a god on Earth.” Tim has been very vocal about centralized platforms and walled gardens like Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft taking control, rightly so. But what about centralized ecosystems? Just look at the diagram here — there is nothing decentralized about Epic in the slightest. Matthew’s article goes into a lot of detail about Epic’s financial strategy, and seemingly altruistic approaches toward the developer community. It’s certainly helped the cause by taking on Apple’s app store policies, and also Unity being a complete clusterfuck of a company itself (I’ve had so many conversations with devs who are ditching for Unreal after their latest merger). “Whatever form this medium ultimately takes, our biggest hope is that we can play a role in it, whether we’re the creators of the big thing or technology supplier to it, or even better, if it’s a decentralized distributed system that combines everybody’s efforts and connects them in a much more open way.” Tim never talks about making money because that’s not his interest or motive. Some people want to make billions, some just want to watch the world burn. Tim is motivated by power — the power to be the one that owns the development infrastructure to build the metaverse. If Tim says Epic will support NFTs the market breathes a sigh of relief because if Epic said ‘no’ where are you going to go? Unity? LMAO I firmly believe Epic will crack interoperability before everyone else, or certainly provide a mechanism for it that will tie it back to Unreal and offer it for free. Eventually, he will make the money, not now but in 10–15 years when everyone using Unreal starts raking in — $1m in metaverse terms is tiny. If they were really supportive of the development community they’d tell them about all the that exist across the industry. In fact, if VC firms like Andreessen Horowitz were serious about the ideology behind web3, democratization and decentralization they’d be pumping money into the open source community. But they aren’t. open source alternatives Unreal is seen as the welcome antidote in the industry but it’s actually the drug. And you’ll all be hooked. That’s Blue Ocean. Also Published Here

Why Epic Games Isn’t The Metaverse Hero We Deserve 

Crypto pioneers are placing bets on gaming to deliver the first billion people to blockchain despite big publishers holding back. Tony Cheng of Decentraland says they’ll never get onboard. Meanwhile Ubisoft moves forward with Blockchain Game Alliance. When will CryptoKitties make a cameo in South Park Phone Unleashed? CNBC’s Ran Neu Ner with Initialized Capital’s Garry Tan, photo by Martine Paris If 2017 was about fundraising, and 2018 was about infrastructure, then 2019 will be about mass adoption, but whether global payments or nonfungible tokens (NFTs) are the killer dApp is up for debate. Many crypto pioneers at SF Blockchain Week said they’re placing bets on gaming, including Garry Tan of Initialized Capital, an investor in , Bart Stephens of Blockchain Capital, an investor in an NFT exchange, and Jeremy Gardner of Augur and Ausum Ventures. Horizon Blockchain Games OpenSea At Global Blockchain Forum, Tan told CNBC’s Ran Neu Ner, “The first mass adoption product will be a mobile game where the end user won’t even know they’re doing a transaction on the Ethereum network when buying a digital good or participating in a marketplace. We’ll start to see this in 18 months or less. It’s not too far away. My partner Alexis Ohanian recently visited the Fortnite guys… people spend an insane amount of money on digital goods.” Gardner added, “Some time in the next one to two years there will be a Pokemon Go-like game where people collect NFTs with unique characteristics to level up, that have real world value, and can be exchanged with anyone in the world. We’ll see a burgeoning economy emerge out of some game and assets issued in that game will be interoperable with assets of other games. Gaming will be the first case with tens of millions of daily active users of crypto. NFTs make gaming and online collectibles more valuable. The amount of time adolescents spend on games is outrageous and they don’t make money on it. If people can make money on games they’re playing, that sounds like the future to me!” At Back To The Crypto Future, Blockchain Capital’s Bart Stephens said, “One of the areas that we are seeing organic demand in startup activity and end user activity is the intersection of video games and crypto — nonfungible tokens. If you play a game like World of Warcraft or Second Life, there are tens of millions, and if you include Asia, over a hundred million users that live and play in these virtual worlds with virtual economies and virtual currencies, and you can have virtual objects, but at the end of the day until this year, all of those objects weren’t owned by you. You might have spent a year of your life getting some super special fire sword but it turns out that in World of Warcraft you don’t own that fire sword. Blizzard Entertainment owned by Activision, a public company, owns that fire sword. So if you try to sell it for U.S. dollars, you are out of luck as a gamer. That is changing now. Persistent worlds, even casual games, you can earn something in game slaying a dragon and get a magical coat of armor, you can pull that out of the game, go to OpenSea and sell it for Bitcoin, and go to Coinbase and sell your Bitcoin for U.S. Dollars. CryptoKitties was the first example of that. There will be many more games that capture the notion that videogamers own the experience and work product and results of some endeavor online. So that is an area where we’re actually seeing an organic demand envirnoment unlike some of the other areas which are still early stage like enterprise adoption, still at the proof of concept stage.” When asked what’s standing in the way of adoption, Tan replied, “It’s how users are being onboarded. Founders need to remove steps. There are too many steps. It’s hard to get your hands on crypto, then once you have it you need to transfer it to a wallet. How is a normal human being going to figure out how to buy CryptoKitties?” Gardner added, “They need a reason and good user experiences.” Yes, gamers get crypto. Digital goods and virtual currency have been a part of the industry since the dawn of gaming. There are 2.3 billion gamers worldwide who will spend $137.9 billion mostly on digital goods this year, according to . Top grossing games make over a million a day. makes over $4 million a day for King. and make millions a day for Supercell. SuperData estimates that Fortnite made over its first nine months, and Roblox which was just valued at with . NewZoo Candy Crush Clash Royale Clash of Clans $1 billion $2.5 billion 70 million monthly active users Certainly, it would be huge if Fortnite, with its players and monthly active users, started to test NFTs on the blockchain, except … 125 million 78.3 million Epic told me there are no plans to integrate blockchain into Fortnite or Unreal Engine. You can’t spell nonFUNgible without FUN SF Ethereum Community Fund’s Grant Hummer and me speaking on the Crypto Games Panel at the NonFUNgible Summit At the NonFungible Summit co-sponsored by Blockchain Gamer, on my Crypto Games panel, I was joined by Grant Hummer of SF Ethereum Community Fund, Philippe Castonguay of Horizon Blockchain Games, Linda Lu of 645 Ventures and Jeff Tong, serial entrepreneur, as we discussed what’s needed to get the top publishers on board. We looked at the Steam Community Marketplace, a trading post of in-game items for over owned by Valve. A simple integration with the could instantly make it one of the largest NFT exchanges in the world. 125 million registered users 0x protocol We discussed Ubisoft’s burgeoning relationship with CryptoKitties which began at its hackathon this summer. Ubisoft has been the most bullish of all the top publishers and recently formed the with Ethereum co-creator Joe Lubin of ConsenSys, and executives from Fig, Alto, B2Expand, EverdreamSoft, Gimli, Enjin, and Ultra, to create common standards and a more interoperable and transparent ecosystem, which will benefit stakeholders, by furthering innovation and ensuring economic viability. Blockchain Heroes Blockchain Gaming Alliance As to whether the top publishers will ever cross the line, Matt Condon, producer of the Nonfungible Summit, shared . In short, centralization serves them well. Gaming simply may not be ready yet. this post from Tony Sheng of Decentraland The jury is out whether the incumbents will resist or embrace the new technology, but for the hundreds of blockchain game developers sitting in the audience it was clear that we will have a metaverse of NFTs soon, even if it takes the indies to lead the revolution. They just need to remember to make the game fun and move blockchain to the backend. As the tweet goes: You Can’t Spell NonFUNgible Without FUN! Posted in , October 16, 2018, by me Blockchain Gamer
