For the First Time Ever, Players Worldwide Can Access the Immersive Collectable Card Game Through Epic Games Store

Developed in partnership with Immutable Games, Shardbound captivates audiences with its unique blend of tabletop and digital card game elements, compelling gameplay and high quality graphics and UX

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bazooka Tango, the development studio behind the immersive strategy card game, Shardbound, announced that starting today, the game will be open to the public through Epic Games Store. Previously only accessible to community members with keys, Shardbound is now available to players around the world who are eager to try out the latest game build.

The Limited Beta playtest, also released today, follows the game’s successful Exclusive Beta – the most recent playtest which granted access to only 3,500 players and drew strong support from the Shardbound community of more than 100,000 collective members. With players logging an average of 90 minutes of matches a day, and over 16,000 cards collected, generating 100s of unique decks and 1,000s of cards leveled-up, the positive response helped push the game’s developers to open Shardbound access to the public for the first time.

“We knew there was a demand for Shardbound when we saw two rounds of playtest spots fill up in less than a week, in addition to some strong engagement – our top players were playing more than 10 games a day. So we thought – why not open access for everyone? We’re really proud of the game and so is our community – many who have been with us since our early Alpha days,” said Bo Daly, Founder and CEO of Bazooka Tango. “We can’t wait to introduce Shardbound to a whole new set of players through the Epic Games Store. Not only is this an important distribution channel, our debut is a huge milestone for us that signifies, we’re here and we can’t wait to show the world what we’ve been working on!”

The Limited Beta will showcase new features including:

New Faction-Based Battle Passes: Players can now complete specific quests to earn cards from each of the factions.Card Upgrades & Changes to Leveling: New tools provide insights into the overall strength of cards, decks, and collections, while major changes to card leveling will improve player experience.Visual Enhancements: Shardbound’s immersive world comes to life with beautifully redesigned card art for relics, characters, spells and equipment. Plus, updates have been implemented that will help make the game easier to understand for new players.Improved Matchmaking: General improvements to matchmaking make the game more engaging and enjoyable for players of all levels.

Developed in partnership with Immutable Games, Shardbound captivates audiences with its unique blend of tabletop and digital card game elements, compelling gameplay and high quality graphics and UX. The game, which takes place in a fantasy world, where players summon creatures, cast spells, and control the battlefield using their carefully crafted decks, is built by a robust and experienced team of industry leaders. Game veterans at Bazooka Tango draw on experience from Rockstar, Electronic Arts, Riot, Hasbro, Zynga, LucasFilm, Disney, and YugaLabs, while Immutable Games adds a deep roster of game experts building some of the most highly anticipated web3 titles of the year.

“Retention numbers from our Exclusive Beta really showed us that the game we’re building is one that will keep players coming back – not only do we think it’s fun, we listen to our community and really consider their feedback. The changes that we implement are thoughtful and ones that we ultimately think will benefit the player and improve their experience. We know there is more to be done, but we are excited for Shardbound to be the first major pillar for our ambitious future plans. Stay tuned for more to come,” Daly continued.

A Smarter Upgrade for Commercial Spaces

Many commercial and residential buildings already operate on 208-volt electrical systems, making the GEN3 unit an easy transition from bulky, high-maintenance tanks to a more modern, energy-efficient solution.

Smart Monitoring & Proactive Maintenance
Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity transforms hot water management from a reactive task into a proactive strategy. Through a centralized digital dashboard, property owners and facility managers gain a comprehensive view of system performance across one or multiple units.

Proactive System Health – Predictive diagnostics help identify potential issues before they lead to downtime.Preventative Oversight – Real-time status updates and maintenance reminders help ensure systems operate at peak reliability.Comprehensive Dashboard – Monitor performance metrics, track energy usage, and manage multiple units from a single interface.Smart Alerts – Instant notifications enable faster troubleshooting and help minimize service interruptions.

 

Space-Saving Installation
The sleek, wall-mounted design frees up valuable floor space, giving businesses more room for operations, storage, or customer-facing areas.

Energy-Efficient Operation
By eliminating standby heat loss, the GEN3 unit helps reduce overall energy consumption, lowering utility costs while also supporting a smaller environmental footprint.

Meeting Growing Demand for Electric Solutions

The launch comes as more businesses look for efficient, electric-first infrastructure that is easier to manage and more cost-effective over time.

“The feedback from our partners and early adopters has been nothing short of spectacular,” said Guy Newman, CEO of Trutankless®. “We’ve seen a massive surge in demand for a high-performance 208V solution that doesn’t compromise on reliability. The GEN3 Commercial unit is the culmination of years of engineering – it’s smarter, tougher, and more efficient than anything else on the market.”

LITO Announces New Collaboration Bringing Exclusive Contemporary Artist Editions to Sotheby’s Online Marketplace

Published

By

The initiative sees artists create new works designed from the outset for high-quality, limited editions.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITO, a pioneering printmaking company redefining how art is created and collected, is pleased to announce a new collaboration that brings exclusive, museum-quality contemporary art editions to Sotheby’s online marketplace. The collaboration introduces a curated program of LITO Editions by leading international artists, offering collectors a new way to acquire highly refined, limited-edition works conceived in direct collaboration with the artists themselves.

LITO Editions are authentic works of art conceived in direct collaboration with artists, who imagine original work specifically for the format. The pieces are then developed into limited editions at LITO’s Technology Lab, an in-house research and production facility where engineers, technicians, and print specialists have developed the company’s patented Hi-Rnd© process. The lab brings together precision engineering and artistic collaboration to produce works that capture texture, color, relief, and brushstroke detail at multiple scales. Produced in limited runs, the editions are each hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

The initiative begins with an exclusive series of LITO Editions by acclaimed American portrait artist Kehinde Wiley. The series is based on his 2008 painting Triple Portrait of Charles II. Drawing on the historical tradition of multi-view portraiture, these works explore identity as layered and constructed rather than singular. Each piece is produced as a high-resolution print on Aludibond, set within an aluminum frame. The compositions feature engraved floral elements against mirrored backgrounds, available in Gold, Dark Mirror, and Mirror finishes, with select works also offered in a blue variant. Available for immediate purchase on Sotheby’s online marketplace, the editions are priced between $8,000 and $15,000, expanding access to Wiley’s work while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Wiley’s editions are currently on view at Sotheby’s galleries in the Breuer Building in New York through April 24, offering collectors and the public an opportunity to experience the artist’s work and LITO’s high-resolution editions firsthand. The presentation highlights the depth, texture, and dimensionality that define LITO’s approach and underscores the collaboration’s emphasis on in-person engagement.

“The marriage of art and science is one that’s been known and storied. There was, prior to the camera, an assumption that art was the ultimate authority of truth in history. Now with new technology, art is freed to take on new responsibilities, and to be able to tell other types of stories,” said Wiley. “Working with Sotheby’s, LITO, and LITO’s technology has also allowed me to go back into my archive and rethink paintings that had been done years ago and these editions are part of a grand tradition of artists playing with the leading edge of technology.”

“As the art market continues to evolve, the collaboration signals a broader shift toward new formats and technologies that expand how art is created, distributed, and collected, without compromising on artistic intent or quality,” said John Dodelande, CEO of LITO. “By creating a new asset class within the art market, our technology will allow a new generation of collectors to experience and immerse themselves in the art world in a way that limited supply may have otherwise precluded them from.”

“Beginning a collection with editions offers an exciting and accessible entry point into contemporary art,” said Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s Senior Vice President and Global Head of Demand Generation & Marketplace. “Through our collaboration with LITO, collectors can acquire high‑quality works directly from the artist, reinforcing both authenticity and a meaningful connection to the creative process. Exclusive to Sotheby’s, these editions carry a compelling sense of rarity while remaining approachable. By presenting them on our Marketplace, we aim to welcome new audiences and invite discovery of exceptional art in a way that feels both inspiring and inclusive.”

New releases and exhibitions will follow throughout 2026, with monthly drops planned alongside presentations in New York, Los Angeles and London, including a Sotheby’s showcase in London from April 29 to May 17 and in Beverly Hills from May 18 to May 31.

Founded in 2022 and based in Bregenz, Austria, LITO already operates showrooms in Paris, London, and Bregenz, reflecting its growing international footprint. The company has collaborated with a wide range of internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Amoako BoafoDaniel ArshamCamille Henrot, Jia Aili, and Peter Halley, among others, advancing a model that creates new pathways for artists while extending the reach and accessibility of their work.

ABOUT LITO:

Founded in 2022, LITO is a forward-thinking printmaking company based in Bregenz, Austria. Through its patented Hi-Rnd© technology, LITO produces high-rendered limited editions that capture the texture, color, and dimensionality of original artworks with exceptional precision. Working in close collaboration with leading contemporary artists, LITO creates editions that are hand-signed, numbered, and conceived specifically for this innovative format.
