Gigaverse links with Cambria for racing event
Gigaverse kicked off a limited-time racing event, merging its horse-racing mechanics with dungeon exploration in Cambria. The initiative offers players a unique opportunity to win dungeon keys through racing, enhancing engagement between the two titles.
The event is live from June 23 until June 27, featuring 200 races with no entry fee. Each race winner receives 25 keys for Cambria, providing direct access to loot in a different game. The free structure allows all players with a Gigling to participate, removing the usual financial barrier.
Structured for participation
The format emphasizes accessibility and frequency. With 50 races occurring daily at two time slots—8:00 PM UTC and 8:00 AM UTC—players across various time zones can join without inconvenience. This design encourages repeat participation rather than relying on a single grand event, with dozens of opportunities to win each day.
Players can join the racing mode without needing a dedicated Gigaverse account, streamlining the entry process.
A collaborative approach
This crossover unites two games on the Abstract network, fostering a cooperative environment where titles complement rather than compete with each other. Gigaverse players can engage in a fresh way while Cambria introduces its Dungeons to a wider audience, potentially increasing player retention.
“It’s about bringing players together to enjoy the ecosystem,” said a company representative.
Features of Giglings Racing
Giglings Racing offers staked races, where each NFT creature holds unique attributes that influence performance. Players can strategize based on their Gigling’s traits, optimizing for race conditions. Races can accommodate up to eight participants, and players have the option to customize race parameters.
The race outcomes are decided on-chain via a Race Oracle system, ensuring fair results. In standard races, 90% of ETH entry fees are distributed to winners, while players manage their Giglings, which can also be bred for desirable traits.

The Cambria experience

An engaging five-day event
The event promotes consistent participation over chasing singular high-value rewards. By eliminating entry fees, it opens gameplay to casual users, creating a vibrant racing environment. The event continues through June 27, rewarding players with ample chances to secure Cambria dungeon keys.
