Crypto and NFT Gaming Space
The realm of cryptocurrency and NFT gaming has been experiencing a surge of activity recently, marked by the emergence of prominent games, a flurry of token airdrops, and a continuous stream of developments. Keeping abreast of all these happenings can be overwhelming, but rest assured, Decrypt’s GG is diligently monitoring the landscape. For a concise overview of the latest events in the realm of crypto video games, we are pleased to present This Week in Crypto Games.
Key Highlights
Sui Gaming Handheld
This week, a new player stepped onto the scene in the form of a crypto handheld gaming console known as the SuiPlay0x1. Crafted by the minds behind the Sui blockchain, Mysten Labs, in collaboration with gaming startup Playtron, this innovative device was unveiled at the Sui Basecamp event in Paris. Scheduled for launch in 2025, the SuiPlay0x1 will offer gamers the ability to enjoy both crypto and traditional titles, incorporating the Sui blockchain into its account system.
Saga Mainnet Launch and Token Debut
Another significant development unfolded with the successful launch of Saga’s mainnet and the introduction of the SAGA token earlier this week. Saga gained recognition through a series of airdrop competitions and a highly successful Binance Launchpool campaign that attracted over 500,000 Binance customers, leading to a staked amount exceeding $13.4 billion. Designed to empower developers in launching their own blockchain or sets of chains for app deployment, Saga’s mainnet launch unlocks this functionality and sees the SAGA token listed on major cryptocurrency exchange Binance.
Notcoin Conversion Details
Clarity was provided on the conversion mechanics for Notcoin (NOT) tokens, with players set to receive tokens at a rate of 1,000-to-1 in exchange for their in-game coins. This conversion system aims to streamline the token supply and simplify on-chain transactions. Players will receive their allocated tokens in proportion to the overall supply, facilitating a seamless transition. The anticipated on-chain launch is on track for around April 20.
Gods Unchained x Guild of Guardians Collaboration
The latest expansion for Gods Unchained, dubbed Dread Awakening, features a crossover event with the upcoming mobile RPG, Guild of Guardians. Scheduled for release on April 23rd, this expansion introduces 148 new cards minted on Immutable X, unveiling the malevolent Dread from Guild of Guardians into the Gods Unchained universe.
