    Own a Piece of the Studio Building Games You'll Love

    We recently shared something we had been holding onto for a long time: Alpha Clash is getting a video game.

    The studio bringing it to life is Monarch Game Studios, our publishing partner, and today we get to share the next part of the story.

    Monarch is founded and led by people who have built some of the biggest names in games, entertainment, and technology. Alpha Clash is one of the titles in their lineup, and they are building a slate of games across the genres players already love. Our game is in good hands, and in good company.

    Through their connection with XP Network, Monarch is building games where the time you put in gives something back: real rewards you can carry across titles and into the real world. It is the player-first thinking that made us want to work with them both.

    Today, Monarch's investment round is open, and you can own a stake in the studio making it happen.

    A few things worth knowing:

    • Founders and leadership with track records at Apple, Amazon, EA, Zynga, and Plaid, including the engineer who led the iOS 11 App Store redesign.

    • CEO Louis Castle co-founded Westwood Studios, created Command & Conquer, and holds six Game of the Year awards, a BAFTA, and two Lifetime Achievement awards.

    • Gaming is projected to reach $300 billion by 2028, with 3.58 billion players worldwide.

    Monarch is building a studio for players, and Alpha Clash is part of it. If you want to own a piece of what they are building, you can do that now.

    Early investors can access bonus shares and other perks available for a limited time. The earlier you invest, the better your position.

    Alpha Clash Official Online Leagues are Here via XP Network

    Alpha Clash Official Online Leagues

    Starting April 14th, Rising Empire Studios introduces the Alpha Clash Online League system. Built to make organized play accessible to everyone, Online Leagues give players a competitive way to engage with Alpha Clash from anywhere as not everyone has access to a local scene or the ability to travel to major events. The Online League removes those barriers, creating a low-friction path to play, earn rewards, and stay connected. For dedicated Clashers, it’s also another meaningful way to play more and engage with the global community.

    Online Leagues are free to enter and open to players worldwide. Matches are played on TCG Arena, a free browser-based platform, allowing players to compete without needing specialized software, equipment, or physical cards.

    How It Works

    Each Online League runs across multiple rounds using a Swiss format. Players are paired with one opponent per round and have several days to complete their Best-of-2 match.

    Players coordinate match times directly, with a dedicated Discord channel available to find opponents and stay connected.

    Rewards & Qualification

    Players earn 100 XP for participation and each match win throughout the league.

    At the conclusion of each league season, the Top 8 non-qualified players qualify for the Alpha Clash Online World Championships, where the best online competitors will face off on the global stage.

    The online leagues are the only path to qualify for the Online World Championships.


    Sign Up

    Registration is now open via XP Network and will close when the league begins.

    Register Now


    TCG Arena

    To get started, create your account on TCG Arena. Once logged in, navigate to Games, find Alpha Clash TCG, and click Add to Your Games. From there, you’ll be able to create matches and connect with other players.

    Deckbuilding is simple. While TCG Arena includes a built-in deck builder, we know many players prefer using Deck Planet.

    On Deck Planet, build your deck and sideboard, then export it:

    • Export Deck → TCG Arena → Copy to Clipboard

    In TCG Arena, import your list:

    • Decks → Create a Deck → Import → Paste → Import

    Before the league begins, make sure your account is set up and spend some time getting familiar with gameplay, matchmaking, and deck building.
