Weekly Web3 Gaming Updates

Upcoming:

• WorldShards announced it will launch its SHARDS token on September 5, as part of its plan to expand the game's ecosystem and enable players to participate in governance and in-game rewards through the new cryptocurrency.

• The Beacon's public playtest has been rescheduled to September 4–7, 2025, due to delays in the Epic Games Store review process, allowing players to access new upgrades and exclusive rewards during this extended testing window.

Ongoing:

• The Glory and Renown Guild PvP Event in Forgotten Runiverse is live from August 25 to September 8, offering 2.5 million $PIXEL tokens to the top 8 guilds that earn Renown through gameplay and convert it into Glory via PvP battles, with all guilds starting from a reset leaderboard.

• The Eternal League leaderboard on Immutable Play offers exclusive rewards to the top 200 players, with instant gem payouts (e.g., 345 Gems) and chances to win IMX tokens through a weekly draw system that rewards player skill, activity, and engagement on the platform.

This past week:

• Boss Fighters announced a partnership with Immutable to launch a new quest campaign, enabling players to complete quests, collect Gems, and claim rewards through integration with the Immutable web3 gaming ecosystem, which supports over 4 million players worldwide.

• Immutable announced a strategic partnership with Dutch game studio GAMEDIA to bring a new action multiplayer title to the Immutable Play platform, with strong indications of a possible Spider Tanks revival as part of their collaboration.

• Thousands launched Meta Oracle for Wildcard, allowing fans to make in-game predictions during matches, earn $WC token rewards, increase their Insight Score, and climb leaderboards—all as part of a blockchain-powered, interactive viewing experience on Thousands.tv.

• Ragnarok Games has put BloodLoop Season 2 on hold due to low player engagement, suspending competitions until an upcoming update (version 0.7.0) is released, with plans to restructure the season's format to improve participation and gameplay experience.

• Spellborne launched its $BORNE token on August 29, on Avalanche’s Blackhole DEX, marking the start of its in-game marketplace rollout and expanding utility for players within the Spellborne ecosystem.

• The Sandbox underwent major restructuring with co-founders Arthur Madrid and Sébastien Borget stepping back from operational roles; Madrid became chairman, Borget shifted to a global ambassador role, and Robby Yung of Animoca Brands was appointed CEO, alongside a 50% staff reduction and office closures as the company refocused from metaverse development toward broader Web3 applications including a memecoin launchpad.

• Star Atlas has made Star Frame, the technology that powers its game universe, freely available to the public, allowing anyone to use and build upon it to create new games or digital experiences without needing to start from scratch.

• Pudgy Penguins has launched Pudgy Party, a blockchain mobile game that integrates the Pudgy Penguins NFT ecosystem, featuring social gameplay.

• Memoria: Chronicles Idle launched its Open Beta Season 1, featuring a play-to-airdrop event that rewards players with exclusive in-game items and tokens for participating during the beta period.

• The GUN token has achieved full legal compliance under the EU's Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCAR), being classified as a utility token rather than a security, which establishes regulatory clarity and allows authorized EU crypto-asset service providers to legally offer the token to clients. This milestone enhances GUN's market credibility and opens opportunities for broader European investor access under MiCAR's standardized regulatory framework.

World Shards TGE scheduled for September 5

The secret to sustainable GameFi isn't complex tokenomics. It's building a game people actually want to play. WorldShards just proved this with 600k+ active wallets before their token even launched.

Here's what makes WorldShards different: They're launching a fair token with 0% team allocation, 5-10% unlock at TGE, and 6-year vesting. But players don't care about that. They care about a game where you can explore everything from day one.

No level grinding. No artificial gates. WorldShards throws you into dynamic MMORPG worlds where crafting, trading, and exploration drive progression. Every weapon, tool, and armor piece is player-created. The economy emerges from actual gameplay.

The numbers back this up: 600k+ unique active wallets engaged before token launch. $8.6M in NFT sales in 2024. 500k+ community members. All without promising complex tokenomics or yield farming. Just a game people want to spend time in.

Play 25+ days, get permanent access free. TGE scheduled for September 5th, 2025. Bybit partnership confirmed, more CEX announcements coming this week. Sometimes the best tokenomics is just making a great game.
