Crypto gamers are buzzing, with good reason—it’s wild in the space right now. Projects are booming, tokens are dropping, and the news never stops. And today, X Empire caught everyone’s attention with another phase, but it’s not all smooth sailing.
The token mining game known as X Empire (previously “Musk Empire”) wrapped up its latest mining phase last week. This short “Chill Phase” lasted barely two weeks and gave players a final chance to stack up tokens before the big X token airdrop on October 24. But not everyone is celebrating—turns out only 6 million out of the 50 million players are eligible. People are understandably upset, but they’re barking up the wrong tree. Despite the name and Musk-like avatars, Elon has no ties to this project.
Hamster Kombat’s New Direction
While X Empire deals with drama, Hamster Kombat Season 2 rolls out in a whole new direction. Forget about running a hamster-driven crypto exchange! This season? You’ll launch your own game studio, assembling your team and pumping out games. Building the next Axie-like empire, perhaps? It’s a far cry from the original concept, but the game promises to keep its familiar daily combo mechanics while adding new challenges. Players seem cautiously excited, but only time will tell how this pivot pans out.
Moonray: Web3 Dreams Curtailed
In another corner of the crypto gaming universe, Moonray’s PlayStation 5 launch leaves some fans scratching their heads. The PS5 version of the Ethereum-powered combat game will hit shelves in 2025, but there’s a catch: Sony’s Web3 policies mean it’ll lack any crypto integration on consoles. PC players will keep their play-to-earn model, but console gamers? Not so much.
Developers haven’t spilled many details, but some are left wondering what this means for the future of Web3 games on consoles. Does this block mainstream adoption, or is it just a temporary hiccup?
Off the Grid Hits Big
Meanwhile, Off the Grid, Avalanche’s battle royale, is blowing up. Released just two weeks ago, the game is already making waves with viral clips hitting every corner of the internet. Top streamers like Ninja and TimTheTatman are showing off their epic moments, and the buzz isn’t just limited to the crypto crowd. Even traditional gamers are warming up to NFTs. Could this finally open the floodgates for crypto games to break into the mainstream?
