The much-anticipated fourth installment in the Blockchain Heroes series is coming to WAX on January 21st, 2022, and it is the most innovative release yet!
Blockchain Heroes: Retro Rebellion is a set of 20 Heroes and 20 Villains battling for the fate of a fictional metropolis that’s been cast into cyberspace — inspired by the searing neon of the late 1980s, Retro Rebellion fuses futurism and blockchain with the fashion, tropes and VHS delight of the period. However, this is no mere collectible set.
This is the most ambitious collaborative event on WAX to date. Forty (40) partners from other collections on WAX — including Splinterlands, Colonize Mars, Dr. Zammsy, Graffiti Kings, and many more have teamed up with us to build up what we’re calling Unity Packs — packs which drop as free bonuses within Retro Rebellion packs. Many of the assets that drop from Unity Packs also have utility in their native collection!
20 players will ascend to become Blockchain Heroes or Blockchain Villains! If you have the cojones, you can become personally immortalized in the Blockchain Heroes megaverse by executing a massive ULTRABLEND involving specific assets from across Blockchain Heroes’ history (details to come).
