Azuki Labs has raised over $1 million in presale revenue for Gates Awakened, its debut trading card game set, driven entirely by direct-to-player sales through its own storefront.

Gates Awakened launches this summer with booster packs, collector bundles and starter decks, featuring hand-drawn illustrations developed by Azuki's creative team. The set will be available through major hobby distribution partners. The project is led by Arnold Tsang, former Overwatch concept artist, alongside game director Jon and creative director Tim.
