According to details the Floki (FLOKI) team shared via X on Sept. 24, the Valhalla game tournament begins with qualifiers on Sept. 30, 2025. The main event will happen on Oct. 4-5, offering a total of $150,000 in prizes to 64 winners. That’s double the initially announced prize pool of $75,000.
Overall, the top champion will walk away with $50,000 while second position offers $20,000 and third to fourth winners $10,000 each. Those who rank 33rd to 64th will each receive $400, Floki noted.
Vikings, or warriors taking part in the qualifiers but fail to progress to the main battle will also stand a chance to win. Floki will offer $10 in FLOKI tokens as bonus rewards to 500 warriors beaten in the qualifiers.
Details of how to join and what happens during the qualifiers and main event are on the official Floki X account.
As well as player versus player, or PvP battles, Valhalla also features upgradeable non-fungible tokens. The in-game characters for the game are called veras and feature unique abilities and stats, with players able to control them during combat. The MMORPG offers a player-owned economy.
In the web3 gaming ecosystem, FLOKI ranks among the top coins. GameFi projects with tokens include Immutable, Gala, The Sandbox and Axie Infinity.
