biggest news
X Empire Airdrop: Telegram tap-to-earn game X Empire has completed its latest mining phase, shutting down the game ahead of the launch of Formerly known as “Musk Empire,” the game’s short-lived “Chill Phase” lasted just over two weeks, giving players one last chance to earn more tokens ahead of the October 24 airdrop.
This isn’t the first time X Empire has gone through this process. The game completed its original mining phase, which lasted several months, on September 30th and plans to launch the X token shortly thereafter. However, it was relaunched two days later with a “cooling down phase” that gave players an additional 5% of the total token supply.
However, not everyone is excited about the airdrop launch. After the game revealed airdrop allocations to players on Friday, many people complained that they were left out entirely. And the game’s creators revealed that only 6 million players out of a total of over 50 million are eligible.
Some players took to Twitter to complain to Elon Musk about this. However, despite his original name and cartoonish avatar bearing his likeness, he actually has nothing to do with the game.
Hamster Combat Season 2: We knew that the second season of Telegram cryptocurrency game Hamster Kombat was scheduled to release later this month, but on Thursday the developers revealed the theme. This was a major overhaul.
Instead of being a hamster CEO running your own cryptocurrency exchange, you now get to start and expand your own development studio, create games, build a team, and launch a platform for those games. The brief teaser shows development activities that could take several days to complete, as well as the return of tapping gameplay, familiar daily combos, and more.
Moonray on PS5: The creators of Ethereum-based battle arena game Moonray have announced that they will release the free-to-play title on PlayStation 5 next year. However, as per Sony’s policy, the game will be released on the console without Web3 functionality.
On PC, the game has already had a play-airdrop campaign, and the upcoming mobile auto-battle game has similar plans when it launches next year. However, this is not the case for the PS5 version of the arena battle game, at least not from the beginning. This, they said, was due to Sony’s “rules and conditions” restricting the game.
Still, a big question mark remains over the future of Off the Grid, which is currently in early access on PS5 without directly integrating cryptocurrency features for players to use. Off the Grid developer Gunzilla Games has nonetheless not yet clarified its plans for cryptocurrency integration for the console. decryptionThis is your inquiry.
Off the Grid is going viral: Avalanche battle royale shooter Off the Grid launched two weeks ago to great buzz and excitement. The hype continued into last week, with numerous clips going viral, showing why the game has become the most popular free-to-play title on the Epic Games Store.
From Fortnite’s legendary Ninja demonstrating the power of his “Slam Fist” cyber rim to popular streamer TimTheTatman sniping the last man standing in the air, it was clear that audiences loved the game. In addition, it appears that some traditional gamers are also floating around the idea of NFTs. Will this open the door for cryptocurrency gaming to go mainstream?
