Thirdverse has partnered with Virtual Athletics League (VAL) to present the league. Thirdverse and Virtual Athletics League have teamed up to bring you the X8 League. Each hero has three unique abilities that can be used in specific situations to gain an edge that could allow the player to breach enemy defenses. I had the chance to play X8 in March at GDC and it was amazing. My immediate thought was what a great game it would make for leagues so it’s great to see the collaboration between VAL & Thirdverse.
