The Parallel universe just got bigger and better! The long-awaited second expansion set, Aftermath, has officially entered the Manifest stage, with exclusive card packs now up for presale. Whether you're an Avatar holder, active player this season, or someone lucky enough to own a Masterpiece, PrimeKey, or Art Card, you're in. The Manifest period is open until Nov 22nd, with the public sale kicking off on Nov 23rd. Mark your calendars because this is one drop you don't want to miss!
What Is Aftermath All About?
Aftermath is the thrilling follow-up to Planetfall, Parallel's first expansion set, and it cranks up the action with 90 brand-new playable cards. Players can look forward to fresh mechanics designed to tip the scales in your faction's favor. The core of this drop? Aftermath Packs, each priced at 11 PRIME. PRIME tokens are Parallel's in-game tokens earned through winning matches, collecting certain cards, or engaging with the ecosystem. No PRIME? No problem! You can grab some on platforms like Coinbase and Uniswap or by bridging through the Echelon Base Portal.
Each Aftermath Pack contains 10 assets, ranging from cards to special items, and there's a total of 46,000 packs available. Time to gear up and boost your chances of winning!
The Loot: What's in the Pack?
Let's talk probabilities, because that's where things get spicy. As shown in the shared snapshots, Aftermath packs include a wide variety of rare finds:
- First Edition Cards (FE): Common, uncommon, rare, and legendary cards make up the majority of packs.
- Special Edition Cards (SE): These beauties offer even more rare variants.
- Prime Assets: A total of 3,570 rare prime assets are included, featuring 1,500 highly-coveted Redeemables.
The Redeemables category is where the magic happens, unlocking top-tier rewards like Masterpieces, Avatars, Prime Variants, and Legendary cards. Whether you're after the Alpha or Beta Tier Redemption Cards, you can claim them a week after the public sale.
