On November 21, the minting of the Ancients Collection—the first NFT collection from the creators of the recently announced game Holdara — starts. According to the developers, it combines blockchain technology, unique design, and a deep storyline, where users become not just players but participants in the revival of an entire civilization. Why are NFTs essential here, and how can you get them? Read on to find out.
Holdara and the Role of the Ancients Collection
Holdara is an MMORPG game world built on the Layer 1 blockchain Monad. The creators emphasize the project’s unique feature — an organic evolution of the world influenced by the community's actions, where every player shapes the development of the universe.
The Ancients Collection NFTs act as the key to the interactive world of Holdara. Each token represents a game inhabitant with ancient knowledge and abilities. Thus, the collection is not just a set of avatars but a fundamental element for forming the digital nation of Holdara, where NFT holders can participate in world-building, gameplay testing, and exclusive events.

- Access to DAO: Participate in making key project decisions.

Roadmap: What’s in Store for Holders
The creators of Holdara have planned a large-scale development of the game world. Key milestones according to the roadmap include:
- 2024: Launch of the collection and initial gameplay tests.
- 2025: Tournament arenas, character upgrades, and the creation of equipment using technomancy technology.
- 2026: Open beta version, dynamic world expansion, and the establishment of the first digital nation.
Who’s Behind the Project?
Holdara is being developed by an experienced team led by Ash Colclough, a graduate of Infogrames/Atari and partner at Namco Bandai, and Gavin Rummery, the co-creator of Tomb Raider. The team also includes experts in art, Web3 development, and game design, with blockchain industry leaders brought on as consultants.
However, despite the ambitious plans, the project still needs to prove its viability. The integration of Web3 technologies into gaming remains a niche topic. Previously, Ubisoft launched an NFT game with significant potential but uncertain prospects.
