RingWatch: Season 1 Recap

The battle for The Ring of Ruin has wrapped up, and what a battle it was! Check out the first hall of fame inductees and highlights from the S1!

Alex: Hello all you Mercenaries out there and welcome to RingWatch… your place to get caught up on the latest news in Elysium!

Torsten: Hi

Alex: Ehhh…don’t go overboard on the introduction or anything Torsten… 

Torsten:…

Alex: Well at any rate friends, there’s been an awful lot going on for us to cover! 

Torsten: nods

Alex: The Ring of Ruin has stopped, but I wouldn’t worry too much.  In fact, I really never worry too much! Mwaeahahahaheehee!

Torsten: rolls eyes

Alex: Now the last 49-days of glorious battle, piracy and conquest in Elysium have been totally action-packed, and we hope every Mercenary out there had fun fighting for their lives.

Torsten: Speaking of… didn’t I defeat you in the battle for the Dimension Ruins? How are you even here?

Alex: Oh no, Torsten, surely not me. I only win battles. There are a great many Mercenaries who look like me I’m told. As you can see I have a very common face type.

Torsten: glares

Alex: And regardless– don’t ask me how – but I’m quite certain we’ll all be doing this exact same thing again very, very soon. dramatically Oh Pirate King… what have you done!?

Now let’s dive into some of the highlights from the battle for the Ring! Bwahahahahaheheheehee!!!

Conquest: The Victorious

There were many epic battles spread across all three conquest events throughout the season. We’d like to offer a special congratulations to the top five finishers overall from season 1:

  1. Chuckz
  2. Ewod
  3. Goodnight
  4. Nezumi
  5. KingNerd
Laction runs about 40,000 km/min to take the ruin.
This footage is not sped up. That Laction is in a HURRY!!!

Most Powerful Captains

Captains build their might in many ways over the course of the season, but most all of that can be summed up in raw Battle Power. Through all the battle and chaos, the following Captains excelled above all others at raising their total power in Elysium:

  1. PalafinHF
  2. OoKoO
  3. Kazuto1995
  4. Lock-On
  5. Firstblood

Arena Victors

The Arena is entirely unlike field battles. Here, there are no troops to hide behind and your mercenaries must fight to the bitter end. Over all Arena competitions this season, the following Captains amassed the most Arena Victory Points:

  1. PalafinHF
  2. Hebisakki
  3. Win
  4. Chuckz
  5. Kazuto1995

Honorable Mentions

The following two players were the only Captains to finish in the top 10 in all three categories:

  • PalafinHF
  • Chuckz
Shoutout to this mysterious team that definitely isn’t S12 😉. This brilliant move made it incredibly hard to find rally leaders among their team to strike back against, helping lead them to a win in the 3rd Conquest!

Editor’s Choice: Most Feared Player🏴‍☠️

 -OoKoO-

“OoKoO only hit me 37 times last night!”

Editor’s Choice: Farmer Supreme 🧑‍🌾

-Hebisakki-

“I dominated DPP today! In second with a full 15% Hebisakki’s score!!!”

Editor’s Choice: Benevolent Landlord 🏰

-Burgundy-

“(457,357) – get your DPP!”

The Eternal Fight

Another season of glorious battle is on its way in only a few hours. Will you take the lessons from this season and rise to greatness in the battle to come?

Alex: I’m sure they’ll try, but not if my cannon has anything to say about it.

Wait… your part is done. Where’d you come from?

Alex: I told you there was some weird stuff going on inside that ring. It would seem the fight is not yet done. BWUAHAHAAAHEEHEHE!!! See you on the battlefield!

Indeed, the battle continues! Elysium’s Mercenaries are trapped in the eternal battle for the Ring of Ruin, but perhaps this time it will end differently.

We’ll be back in the next few days to sum up everything exciting about season 2, but for right now, be prepared for the unexpected when the server opens in a few hours!

Early Access Extractions | Gala Plays Last Expedition

Early Access Extractions | Gala Plays Last Expedition


Join us for 2 hours of Last Expedition gameplay at 2pm PT on Youtube for a chance to grab an Early Access Token!

With the latest early access build running full throttle for all Hunter’s Early Access Token holders, it’s time to build up those Last Expedition chops. If you don’t start practicing soon, the Ravagers, Snappers and Porcupines will tear you apart–and they’re only the beginning of the horrors that this hostile and mysterious alien planet will throw at you.

The stream starts soon–Set a notification at the link:

Come die– I mean play with us. The challenge will be met by a handful of Gala Games team members, and this is your chance to show them what you’re made of. Don’t be surprised though if you put us to shame. We spend most of our time making games, so there’s not always a lot of time to play them. That’s why we love to come together for Gala Plays streaming events.

Your host will enjoy the game in spectator mode, with extensive audio commentary (talking about players as they die and the predators who kill them) and the ability to toggle between all players in the mission. This mode makes an especially compelling front row seat when players are surrounded, swarmed and eaten.

Watch the stream to find out which server we’ll take on, and once we have filled the first mission to a total of 16 players (from the community and the team) we’ll launch the shuttle and all hell will break loose. Once we get going, make sure you stay in the game, because you’ll probably lose your spot if you exit while we’re streaming.

Download the Game

Once you have a Hunter’s Early Access Token in your GalaChain inventory, you’ll have the ability to download the game via LastExpedition.game. Additionally, you need a free Epic Games account, with which you’ll log into the early access build.

You want a Hunter’s Early Access Token in your wallet.

Win Early Access

During today’s stream, we’re ready to hand out Hunter’s Early Access Tokens to four aspiring hunters who don’t yet have access, but you’ll have to tune in live to be eligible for the giveaway!

We’re also streaming Last Expedition next Friday, so look for additional opportunities (especially in Discord) to unlock early access and get in the game before then.

After today’s stream, drop a shoutout for the hunter that carried the day in the galaxian-shoutouts Discord channel!

Prepare for ExtrACTION

Once the four teams of four drop into their chosen dropzones on the unforgiving planet of Aura, it’s a mad race against predators and players to mine resources, acquire core fragments and extract with the coveted Notari Core. Only one team can get out alive, and sometimes the aliens win.

Your team will have to work together and use every tool available to get the job done. This includes on-the-go crafting of high tech weapons and ammo, constant communication, and coordinated bubbling to locate resources and core fragments.

Once the first team has collected three fragments, the location of the Core is revealed and the final rush is on. Once the Core has been secured, it’s a mad dash to the dropship, upon which all enemies will quickly converge–players and aliens alike. Don’t assume that obtaining the Core means that you’re safe.

Friday, January 12th

Can’t make it today? Join us next Friday for another Gala Plays stream with Last Expedition. But we’ve got to warn you–we’ll be warmed up and hungry for Cores.

If you don’t yet have early access, get in the Discord and hit up your Last Expedition Node operator friends, who still may have some to spare. Otherwise, you can easily purchase the Hunter’s Early Access Pack right now in the Gala Games store, which includes a bonus rare “Ice” Skin for Specialist Hunter Alice Mackeye!

New Year, New Champions

New Year, New Champions

Thanks for a great 2023 Champions Arena! We’ve got 3 new Champions ready for 2024 right away!

A whole new year begins in the arena, and you have got to be ready!

All new Champions are joining the fight in 2024. Will these new combatants fight alongside your team, or oppose your dreams of glory? The battle continues to escalate in Champions Arena… be prepared to square off against tons of new threats as we enter a new era of the arena!

All three of these new Champions will enter the available pool for summons, each carrying a boost to their chances to celebrate their introduction. As a reminder, this means that when these Champions are introduced, there will be none available immediately until lucky Summoners get their hands on one!

Sun Wokong, The Monkey King

The child of the Great Rock of Astrakheim, Sun Wukong never carried much love for the priests and angels from that realm. Their fundamental differences created misunderstanding, then resentment.

When the great Temple fell was torn asunder by his hand, only his beloved tutor defended him. Spurned by all, The Monkey King now seeks to prove his indomitable strength and avenge himself and his only friend.

Normal Attack strikes out at a single enemy and gains you +1 mana. A color match will boost the mana gain to 2.

Boundless Strikes release a powerful blow on a single enemy. A color match will buff your Crit Rate before the attack.

Heaven Crusher unleashes a massive slam on all opponents, with a color match buffing your crit before the attack.

Decoy allows Sun Wokong to utilize his powers of mischief to summon clones of himself into battle. As The Monkey King is dealt damage, clones will be consumed to limit his injuries. Each time Sun Wokong or an ally lands a critical strike, a new clone will be generated.

Violet, Queen of Enchantment

All creatures feed. Does that make them all evil? The succubi need the humans… but the chaos now prevents them from accepting the sweet dreams provided for a succubus to dine.

Violet knows the path. She must help the world be rid of this chaos if the succubi are to survive. Is it predator assisting prey or the act of a passionate and ancient symbiosis?

Normal Attack lashes out at a single enemy, dealing damage and generating one mana. A color match boosts the mana gain to two.

Blood Temptation enchants a single foe, dealing damage based on Attack. A color match will cause the opponent both Attack Down and Damage Reduction debuffs.

Fatal Temptation unleashes terror and changes her ambience aura from Queen of Enchantment. This deals damage to all opponents while increasing both her turn gauge and that of the allied Champion with the highest Attack. A color match will boost the damage against enemies even further.

Queen of Enchantment shrouds Violet in strong magic, affecting every enemy combatant. As long as she remains in the battle, her ambience will cause a debuff on all enemies. Each time she uses Fatal Temptation, the effect this ability has on opponents changes.

Naomi, Traveling Arms Dealer

Naomi offers her customers two critical things: a wide and authentic smile, and the best equipment to protect, maim, incinerate, repel or otherwise wage warfare anywhere! Well, not exactly anywhere. The best you’ll find right here though!

Wherever there’s conflict, Naomi is there with a smile and a firm handshake — always ready to make a deal. Sure, there’s people with more cutting edge products, but do you see them setting up shop in this siege? Naomi’s gear is reliable, innovative and effective… and she’s willing to travel to whatever war she needs to so she can prove it.

Normal Attack strikes a single opponent, dealing damage based on the highest Attack among Naomi’s allies and generates one mana. A color match increases mana gain to two.

Bomb Toss deals damage based on the highest Attack on Naomi’s team to one enemy and generates one mana. A card match will inflict Resist Down on the opponent.

Broadside Barrage deals damage based on the Attack of Naomi’s hardest hitting ally to all enemies while also increasing the duration of all debuffs on enemies. A color match will inflict a Take More Damage debuff on the unfortunate enemies as well.

Industrious Merchant keeps Naomi and her team setting the pace of battle. Every time a debuff is inflicted on an enemy, Both Naomi and the ally with the highest attack will get a boost to their Turn Gauge.

The Celebration Continues

These aren’t the only new Champs around, as we have Agna who came into play from the Christmas sale! You may also catch a glimpse of Tempest in Mayhem, as they’re now storming their way into raids.

The issue with Mayhem records not counting in the Christmas event has been fixed, and we’ve reduced the number of missions required in the remaining days to account for this. All players will receive 3000 stockings as an apology for this issue.

In the spirit of celebration, we’ve also extended the holiday login event. Thank you all for an excellent 2023… and an exciting 2024 on the horizon!

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Gala Family: From Games to Music, Film, and Beyond

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Gala Family: From Games to Music, Film, and Beyond

It’s a new year, and we hope you’re as excited as we are for 2024!

As we set our sights on the horizon of 2024, our hearts at Gala are overflowing with gratitude for each and every one of you, the incredible Gala family. Your unwavering support across Gala Games, Gala Music, and Gala Film has been the fuel that propels us forward as we build the most empowering network of own-your-experience entertainment in the world.

From Epic Adventures in Gala Games…

We’ve witnessed the joy in your eyes as you conquered dragons, survived attacks from walkers, and defended your kingdoms from ruthless invasions. We’ve witnessed with horror as you’ve been eaten by Primal Ravagers in Last Expedition, watched your competitive spirit ignite Champions Arena, and seen your passion for community bloom in every corner of our shared digital worlds. Your dedication inspires us to push the boundaries of gaming, to craft experiences that are not just fun, but truly yours to own and shape.

To Melodies that Touch the Soul in Gala Music…

The notes of your cheers have resonated through every Gala Music event, from the electrifying energy of live shows to the intimate connections forged through owned Tracks paired with Music Nodes. We’ve seen you discover new artists, groove to unexpected rhythms, and find solace in the universal language of music. Your passion for sonic exploration fuels our commitment to empower musicians and creators, to build a platform where music transcends borders and touches hearts.

And Stories that Captivate in Gala Film…

The tears we’ve shared in darkened theaters, the laughter that echoed through packed rooms, the conversations sparked by thought-provoking documentaries — these are the moments that make Gala Film more than just a platform. You’ve embraced the power of storytelling, the ability to transport us to new worlds and challenge our perspectives. Your hunger for diverse narratives drives us to support independent filmmakers, to bring unique voices and visions to the forefront.

But what truly makes Gala special is not the games, the music, or the films. It’s the spirit that brings us together, the shared belief in the power of community, ownership, and creative freedom. It’s the dream of a world where entertainment is not something to consume, but something to shape, to co-create, and to own.

As we step into the new year, we do so with immense excitement for what lies ahead. We’ll continue to expand the Gala universe, welcoming new games, artists, and filmmakers into our fold. We’ll push the boundaries of technology, exploring the potential web3 to empower creators and audiences like never before.

But through it all, our unwavering focus will remain on you, the Gala family. We are driven by your passion, your feedback, your unwavering belief in the power of own-your-experience entertainment.

So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for being a part of this journey, for believing in our vision, and for playing, listening, and watching with such enthusiasm. You are the reason we exist, the reason we push harder, the reason we dream bigger.

Together, let’s make 2024 a year of shared triumphs, unforgettable experiences, and a community that continues to grow and thrive. Happy New Year, Gala family!

With love and gratitude,

The Gala Team

P.S. Stay tuned for exciting announcements in the coming weeks and months! We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on and celebrate the future of Gala with you.
