MetaKing Studios has announced a partnership with Razer Gold, a loyalty program by the popular tech brand, in order to add in seamless payments and exclusive rewards to their free to play medieval grand strategy game, Blocklords.

What Benefits Does the Partnership With Razer Gold Bring to Blocklords?

By making this significant partnership, the web3 gaming studio is able to improve the blockchain gaming experience of their web3 title and reward dedicated players by integrating seamless in-game payments while introducing exclusive loyalty rewards and offers.

This means that players will now have the opportunity to use Razer Gold to make payments that unlock access to premium content. What kind of premium content is that specifically is not known at the time of writing. It is also said that each purchase you make in-game can be rewarded with Razer Silver, a currency that can be redeemed for loyalty prizes. Next to these benefits rewarding player engagement, the community can also look forward to seeing exclusive offers, including discounts, bonuses, new unique items, giveaways, and possibly even more.

According to an announcement, this collaboration is being celebrated with a launch promotion during which players get special discounts and bonus Silver rewards. The official post from the game’s X profile teases that they’ve prepared some “extra special ways to collaborate” that they are keeping under wraps for now.

What Is Razer Gold?

Razer Gold is a recharge store, loyalty program, and digital (non-crypto) wallet that is used by a large number of popular games and entertainment brands, including Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Discord, Xbox, and many more. By making purchases using Gold through this payment system, you are rewarded with virtual Silver credits, and if you have enough, you could end up eventually redeeming them for exclusive prizes, including Nintendo eShop vouchers, Razer controllers, keyboards, mice, and more.

You can use it by setting up a Razer ID account, after which you can create the Gold wallet by choosing your location and currency. With a wallet set up, you can then top it up and buy Gold using various different payment methods, including crypto! You can pay with the following cryptocurrency: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and Paypal’s PYUSD. If you go with Bitcoin, you can even choose to make the payment on the Lightning Network. ETH can only be sent through the Ethereum network, while PYSUD lets you choose between Ethereum and Solana. With USDC you have 4 options: Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and Arbitrum One, while USDT has all of those 4 options, plus Tron. Next to all these methods, it’s even possible to pay with Binance and Coinbase!

When purchasing Gold, you get 1 Gold for $1 USD spent. By using Gold to buy games and various other products listed on the official shop, you are rewarded with Silver. You can buy them all regularly without using Gold (some even accept crypto), but you won’t receive Silver in the process.

Soon, you should be able to use your Razer Gold to make purchases related to Blocklords and also earn Silver while doing so. This could potentially bring more web2 gamers to the blockchain-powered title that already reportedly has more than 1.8 million active wallet users, which is quite an impressive feat. If you haven’t tried it already, you can download Blocklords for yourself for free on PC through the Epic Games Store.

The game has its own dedicated Layer 3 network built on Base, and last month, Blocklords announced the launch of the Master Validator in LORDCHAIN, allowing holders of $LRDS to stake and lock their tokens for exclusive rewards.
