Unagi, the gaming studio known for Ultimate Champions and avatar collection Persona, has announced a new free-to-play game: European Fantasy Football 2024.

What’s It About?

The new F2P title is made for the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 and as such is designed to deliver fantasy football gameplay in which users can open packs and trade players from all of the 24 countries participating in this year’s tournament. Create your desired squad and compete for a prize pool said to contain $200k worth of UNA tokens, which hasn’t undergone TGE yet.

The trailer embedded in the announcement made on Twitter/X teases that there will be daily rewards, and that the UNA-powered game is of course going live this June, so you can look forward to jumping in very soon ahead of the prestigious competition’s first match that is scheduled to take place on June 14th.

A Discord announcement further reveals that that there will be daily game weeks and rewards, with no draft part of the competition, meaning all Common Cards from all 24 nations will be available. A point cap will be in place for the league geared towards F2P users, while tournament divisions won’t have a point cap but will require owning NFTs.

About the UNA Token

The UNA token was announced in December last year as part of the studio’s long-term plan to create a single core token that powers their ecosystem of free-to-play blockchain games.

This month, they made a new thread on X about the token, explaining that all of their Web3 games will use UNA as the in-game currency that gives players the ability to trade in-game items. Their first game, Ultimate Champions, which has more than 450k users since launching 2 years ago, is said to already use UNA to power trades and in-game purchases. Ultimate Champions Basketball is also powered by it.

The token has a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens, and since it uses deflationary mechanisms, the token gets burned whenever it is used in Unagi games. For games that don’t use the token as their main in-game currency, the studio has a buyback system in place that also burns tokens. This is likely the case with Couch Ligue 1, a Web3 fantasy sports game made in partnership with the French football league, Ligue 1 Uber Eats. For that Web3 title, the token isn’t used as an in-game currency, but since the developers receive a percentage of the revenue, they can buyback and burn the token.

Anyone can earn the token by playing Ultimate Champions, participating in an airdrop campaign on Persona’s official website, and by owning a Persona NFT.
