Welcome to our weekly roundup where we contextualize some of the recent news in blockchain games.
18th April
It may be the Easter holidays but blockchain gaming news waits for no-thing, especially in a week in which Immutable’s year-long Perpetual Rewards – previously called The Main Quest – finally dropped its first rewards.
In total, around $230,000 of IMX tokens were given away, with the top wallet getting $8,467-worth of IMX. That stated, the prize pool for the coming week is down to around $90,000. Over time, other assets including game NFTs will also be added into the mix.
Of course, the point of the exercise is to encourage people to play as many Immutable games as possible and for as long as possible. Although each reward key costs 500 gems, the more you play the rarer your key, and the rarer the key, the better the rewards.
Other news this week included Shrapnel revealing more details about its Chinese expansion. All players will play within the same game world, but Chinese gamers will have their own separate NFT marketplace, although it’s expected that assets will be transferable between marketplaces.
Another interesting snippet is that console shooter Off The Grid reportedly generated more than $1 million in revenue last month. That’s not much considering it’s raised over $100 million but at least it’s a start. If nothing else, the game is still in early access and running on the Gunz’s testnet.
