Xenna public beta goes LIVE with FREE basic access for all!
Dear friends,
We are here to announce some great news: starting today, we are opening access to the Xenna public beta, which means that all of you can try out the second game in our ecosystem for FREE!
📌 Xenna is available for Android. You can download the APK directly from https://bit.ly/45fKS7l.
This amazing shift is our New Year’s gift to you all! 2022 has been a challenging but very eventful year. We made huge leaps forward: released a lot of updates, increased the user base, upgraded the in-game economy, launched SIDUS GATES, and finally (the most important thing) created a full-fledged metaverse with the release of Xenna! We want to celebrate this wonderful year full of events, releases, and great moments. This is just the first public version of the game; at the end of January there will be a major update, which will add both new features and new NFT cards!
Another important aspect of our decision was the desire to attract as many people as possible to the game and give them the opportunity to dive into the world of battles. When you can test an unfamiliar product for free, invite friends, and share your gameplay on your socials, it significantly increases the number of loyal players who remain in the game. We believe that this solution will guarantee high game traffic for Xenna from launch!
Xenna at a Glance
For those who aren’t yet familiar with Xenna (do these people exist?), it is the first-ever mobile strategy game featuring battle royale mechanics. It was developed by Cyber Games and published by SIDUS GATES to scale up the SIDUS metaverse. Don’t forget that Xenna is a free-to-play game! You heard it right: F2P!
Xenna is one of the planets of the SIDUS metaverse. Abandoned by its inhabitants after a meteorite containing deadly bacteria collided with the planet, it is now that bacteria that draws treasure hunters and explorers. The bacterium had an unforeseen side effect that made the natural resources of Xenna (oil in particular) extremely valuable assets, due to bacterium-based changes in the resources chemical structure. These resources are now hunted by the inhabitants of Xenna, and other planets.
The Xenians themselves were forced to leave their home and extract resources using robots controlled from orbital stations. Only female Xenians managed to survive, becoming a kind of galactic race of Amazons!
GamePlay
10 users participate in the battle with an average game duration of 6 minutes. Players control squads of robots to capture towers while avoiding devastating dust storms. The sole survivor on the map wins.
The game is quite dynamic due to the rapidly activating storms, so it isn’t possible to spend an eternity building your army of robots. You’ll need to act fast. Xenna clearly fits in with the setting of SIDUS METAVERSE. The menu, character design, and lore are all visualized in a SIDUS style.
Xenna is the second game in the SIDUS metaverse and will be developing in parallel with all new games planned for the next few years. The Battler remains the heart of our ecosystem, and we’ll be working on it with triple effort. Next year, new features and new content will be added. We will, of course, continue to work out the game mechanics in detail. Overall, you’ll be seeing a lot of updates happening in different parts of the vast SIDUS galaxy all the time, like the little shimmers of shining stars.
We’re currently limited to Battler, and only the Modules show us that we’re in a ‘metaverse’. Xenna opens the way to new game mechanics, intercosmic travels, and economic development.
We also want to emphasize that all of your game progress saves if you transfer from free access to the privileged version, so you can safely try out the game and proceed to the next level whenever you’re ready!

All the Xenna NFTs you Need! Heroes, Land, Facilities, & Vehicles
We’ve thoroughly worked out the economic component of the game. Players will have access to a new production chain to create oil — one of the most valuable resources that serves to accelerate intergalactic voyages throughout the known metaverse.
Let’s take a closer look at what it is and how it works.
NFT Heroes
In total, there are two categories of NFT heroes that provide access to Xenna: free NFTs and Privileged NFTs. Some of you have already received the latter from different events, but how do they differ?
Free NFTs give access to the game and the ability to create an account. This is the base category of NFTs that don’t have any further privileges. Please note this isn’t a Common NFT! There are four types of Heroes in the game: Free, Common, Epic, and Legendary.
NFT Hero AIRDROP for Original Genesis Heroes Collection Owners
Please note that the Xenna NFT airdrop for SIDUS NFT Hero holders will take place as promised. You’ll receive one Xenna NFT in your wallet if you have at least one Genesis HERO! We remind you that only the owners of these NFTs are eligible for the Xenna drop!
In case you aren’t a lucky owner of the Genesis cards, you can always find some on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/collection/sidus-nft-heroes
This is a great chance to join two games at once! Not to mention all the other perks that GENESIS NFTs provide for their owners!
LAND PLOTS, FACILITIES, REFINERIES
There are a few more objects on Xenna that’ll be a great help for anyone who wants to make a profit from the game! Let’s start with land plots: they exist in Legendary rarity only and hold the most expensive Xenna resource, Oil, as well as deposits of gems. Land plots essentially produce new game roles for the metaverse members like landlord, oil magnate, and gem supplier! You can only get land on special offers, so stay tuned not to miss your chance!
Production buildings (Facilities and Refineries) are located on land plots. They are mobile and can be moved from one site to another. In the future, they can even be moved to a different planet! You can create entire production cities or rent out your assets, increasing your production capacity!
Please note these buildings are only available to the winners of tournaments among privileged NFT Heroes. It’s important for us to encourage users’ gaming skills, and we plan to develop Xenna as an esports project!
Harvesters are tiny hard working vehicles that carry your resources from one place to another. They’re an essential part of the whole production chain and you can both use them for yourself or rent them out to other players.
Xenna NFT Dutch Auction
Privileged NFT access will open up in January 2023 (estimated). To join the game with this access, you’ll need to purchase a Privileged NFT, but how do you get one?
Some of you have already received them from our events and social activities, and we’ll continue to draw cards, so follow our socials; you’ll have a great chance to get free cards!
Of course, the main event for the sale of Xenna NFTs will be the Dutch Auction, which features stunning surprises! The Dutch Auction is scheduled for February, and we’re pleased to inform you of another New Year’s miracle: we’ve extended the Whitelist period, and you can sign up to participate in the auction on sidusheroes.com!
You won’t be able to participate in the auction without being whitelisted, so please, make sure to secure your place and join the event when the time comes! We’ll be providing regular updates.
It’s PROFIT! It’s FUN!
In conclusion, we want to explain once again why we changed the dates of the open testing and what free NFTs are in general. We’ve repeatedly said that our main task is to guarantee mass game adoption. After all, this is what allows everyone who invests their time, effort, and money into the game for higher profits! The more users have access to the game, the bigger ROI you’ll get from the modules!
We’ve devised a truly unique project that doesn’t need P2E mechanics to be appealing. A battle royale mode in a strategy is no less fun than in a shooter like PUBG or Fortnite. Let’s fight for NFT rewards to trade or boast to your friends!” said Co-Founder & CEO of SIDUS GATES Roman Povolotski. “Owners of these NFT collectibles will enjoy the same combat opportunities as the P2E users, but they’ll also profit from investing into modules built on Xenna station the same way it works with Central Station now. Each time a Xenna player utilizes these modules, its co-owner will be given royalties. This model also helps cement the metaverse through tight-knit social connections. Thanks to the module economy, our players can co-own SIDUS gaming products and even set up their own enterprises to provide services to other users.”
Free NFTs allow you to wander around on the map and participate in battles. However, with these NFTs, players won’t be able to take part in any events, which means that the holders of privileged cards will very quickly take the lead. However, for some people this isn’t important; they just want to have a good time and play an interesting game. Let’s welcome these players into our project because after all, games are for fun!
Good luck in the game!
Much love ❤️,
The SIDUS HEROES Team
