Let’s start with the biggest news of the week. X Empire, the Telegram tap-to-earn game, recently completed its latest mining phase and is gearing up for the launch of its X token on The Open Network (TON). Despite some controversy over airdrop allocations, the game continues to attract attention from players.
In other news, Hamster Kombat Season 2 is set to launch with a new theme that focuses on building your own development studio. Moonray, an Ethereum-based combat arena game, announced plans to release on PlayStation 5 next year, albeit without Web3 features initially.
Meanwhile, Off the Grid, an Avalanche battle royale shooter, has been making waves since its launch, becoming the most popular free-to-play title on the Epic Games Store. The game’s success has even sparked interest in NFTs among traditional gamers, raising the question of whether crypto gaming is on the verge of mainstream acceptance.
In case you missed it, Animoca Brands CEO Robby Yung predicts that all Web3 projects will have a Telegram complement, while mobile crypto RPG studio Azra Games raised $42.7 million in funding. Heroes of Mavia, a Crypto Clash of Clans clone, announced that its land NFT integration is coming soon, and Call of Duty’s ToxMod AI has blocked over 45 million messages since its launch.
