Re-branding to Skytear Games and how to use your Shards


I hope you are playing a lot during these holidays!
We have these 4 quick updates for you from the world of Skytear:

  • Our company is re-branding from PvP Geeks to Skytear Games, as we prepare the launch of our second game, Skytear Horde.
  • If you collected Skytear Shards by playing free monthly clashes or World Qualifiers in 2021, read below how to redeem them as free credit in our shop.
  • Skytear Sunday keeps delivering fun live-streamed games, the latest one being this off-meta match where the 2021 world champion Smeoz is challenged by wiwwt.
  • Tomorrow we start the No Hero Left Behind online league. If any of you is into playing on Tabletop Simulator... read all about the league here.

From PvP Geeks to Skytear Games

These days, we are preparing our 2nd Kickstarter project called Skytear Horde that is going live on January 11.

One bit of our original vision to focus exclusively on Player VS Player games did not survive the hit with the pandemic, as Skytear Horde has been designed as a solo and co-operative game first (with a great PvP mode on the side... of course ;).

Since we are doubling down on the Skytear universe, we thought the most sensible way to re-brand the company was to simply stick to what we have nurtured since the Kickstarter, what YOU helped us create, and what we want to keep growing over the years: the Skytear universe.

Practically speaking, early next year you will start receiving this newsletter from a @playskytear.com email, but you can still send us emails to the old @pvpgeeks.com and we'll get it anyway.

Get free accessories and OP kits with your Skytear Shards

It is time to convert your Skytear Shards in store credit and get some goodies!

Here are the key details:

  • In the image above, you can see how much you should have got for each clash and world qualifier depending.

  • Please double check your balance is correct and then email your nickname to help@playskytear.com, we will get back to you within a few days with a coupon code (150 shards = 1 EUR) for our shop.

The coupon can be used on accessories and organized play products up until June 30, 2022.
If you have any questions, just ask to help@playskytear.com.

That's all for this week... and year :)
Happy 2022!

Onward is launching on crowdfunding on March 18! If all goes well, you'll have it in your hands this December.No waiting 1 year or more for delivery! We just put the full draft campaign page online, and we’d love your feedback. What’s unclear? What’s confusing? What makes you think: “Yeah, I love this!” (we need some positive feedback too, we are humans, after all ;)) Let us know so we can make it better before launch! The draft page is here: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/skytear/onward...

Last November, we shared the first playable prototype of Onward, after more than 2 years of design and development. And now, after some months of back-and-forth with players, countless tweaks, and some tough design calls… we truly believe this is the best MOBA board game we can create. In other words: Onward is officially done! You can play it right now on Tabletop Simulator. (All 32 heroes!) And the Gamefound crowdfunding is scheduled for March 18. Remind me again, what is Onward? Onward is...
