Obitus Games, the blockchain gaming studio behind the free-to-play card battler OverKnights, has released a comprehensive preview of the game’s web3 economy and Play-to-Airdrop (P2A) roadmap. Built on Immutable and supported by Sequence, OverKnights aims to provide an accessible, competitive experience with real digital asset ownership and a player-driven marketplace.
About OverKnights
OverKnights is a free-to-play, strategic card battler where players create customizable characters using Parts and upgradable Cards. The game blends competitive PvP with collectible NFT-based elements. Backed by Immutable and built with Sequence, OverKnights is currently available in open alpha via the Epic Games Store.
Obitus Games’ vision with OverKnights is to deliver a competitive experience grounded in ownership and digital rewards, while maintaining accessible and fair gameplay for all types of players.
OverKnights' New P2A Campaign
Booster Packs, Cards, Parts, and Cosmetics
The in-game economy is structured to ensure both sustainability and accessibility, without turning gameplay into a pay-to-win environment. Players can participate for free while earning blockchain-based rewards, including NFTs and $OVC, the game's upcoming core token.
In OverKnights, NFTs come in the form of Booster Packs, Cards, Parts, and Cosmetics. These items are tied to gameplay mechanics and customization options, enhancing the game’s strategic depth and player expression. NFTs are primarily earned through PvP gameplay via the “Climb of the Libra Tower,” the game’s ranked competitive mode.
Here, players compete in Anima Duels and collect time-limited digital items. Items not earned during their limited availability can still be obtained by purchasing from other players on the in-game marketplace, creating opportunities for peer-to-peer trading.

Primary Token $OVC, NFTs and Buybacks
$OVC will serve as the primary token within the OverKnights ecosystem. Players can earn $OVC by selling in-game NFTs (such as Booster Packs, Parts, Cards, and Cosmetics) through a marketplace that uses an orderbook model. Each transaction will include a small studio fee.
To help stabilize the token economy, Obitus Games plans to implement a buyback and burn mechanism. This system involves using revenue generated from in-game purchases to buy back $OVC tokens from the market and burn them, reducing total supply.
To accommodate users of varying experience levels with blockchain technology, the game will offer low-friction options to purchase $OVC directly within the game. This feature aims to support mainstream accessibility and lower barriers to participation in the in-game economy.
$OVC will be used to purchase Battle Passes, Reward Boosters, Booster Packs, Consumables, and Cosmetics. Battle Passes unlock mission packs with exclusive rewards, while Reward Boosters enhance the loot earned through ranked PvP victories. Daily purchase caps will be set on certain items like Booster Packs to maintain balance.

Play-to-Airdrop Campaign Preview
Before the full token launch (TGE), OverKnights will introduce a Play-to-Airdrop (P2A) campaign consisting of three reward-driven seasons. During this phase, players will have the chance to earn $OVC tokens by participating in specific gameplay activities and completing quests.
Each season will feature two primary earning methods:
- Prize Pool Leaderboards: Competitive PvP players can earn USDC rewards based on their leaderboard ranking.
- Questing: Players can complete in-game and social quests to qualify for $OVC airdrops. Details on specific quests are yet to be released.
Players can enhance their rewards during this campaign by purchasing a VIP Pass, which offers multipliers for both USDC leaderboard rewards and $OVC airdrops. Pricing for the VIP Pass has not yet been disclosed.
Additionally, holders of the recently sold-out Genesis Pilot NFTs will receive extra benefits during the airdrop seasons. These include access to exclusive quests and maximized reward bonuses.
