This Week in Crypto Games: ‘Raini: The Lords of Light’ Shutting Down, ‘Eve Frontier’ Trial

It is difficult to keep an eye on the ever-changing crypto-gaming space, thanks to the constant stream of news: everything, from large game launches and fun those experiments to token price fluctuations and incidental project collapses. It is a lot to follow.

Fortunately we are connected to Decrypt‘s Gg. We treat the biggest events during the week, and then this weekly Roundup offers a fast way to catch up, and find a number of other small pieces of news from the entire week.

Raini’s Big Pivot: Raini Studios announced that it will close his avalanche-based NFT Card Game Raini: The Lords of Light on July 21. The competitive map batler, similar to Hearthstone and available on the Epic Games store, will distribute 2 million first in Token (approximately $ 3,800) before he closes.

The game with fantasy theme, which recorded crypto-culture references (such as Dogecoin and Sam Bankman-Gegrijduurd), initially launched NFT cards on Ethereum in 2021 before moving to Avalanche. Despite paying more than $ 1 million in rewards to thousands of players, the studio said that falling players’ players made the game untenable to maintain.

Raini Studios will run to the upcoming action games Lucha Throwdown and Uncaged: The Jon Jones Brawler while implementing a deflationary Tokenomics model. The RST -Token has risen by 60% in the past week, but will continue to fall almost 99% compared to the peak price of 2024.

Eve Frontier Trial: CCP Games offers a free 10-day trial period (27 June-7 July) for Eve Frontier, an MMO spin-off from Ethereum from Eve Online. The Space Survival Game enables players to harvest resources, build bases and earn Grace Points Cabriolet to permanent eve points that follow the legacy of a player via a leaderboard.

The test follows the recent launch of the access of the founders of New Era, who removed the previous NDA restrictions on early players. The game contains cycles (or seasons) where the progress is reset in the short term, but long -term rewards will continue to exist. Eve Frontier is built on the Redstone network of Ethereum and will use several currencies, including tradable Eve tokens and only in-game Lux tokens.

CCP games raised $ 40 million in 2023 for this blockchain adjustment, and CCP community developer Ben Sisson told Decrypt That players of the original, hardcore space Sim Eve have shown online interest in this new twist on the franchise.

“In general, the reaction across the board on Eve Frontier Blockchain is used in the way we have, especially in terms of modding and development of third parties, overwhelmingly positive,” Sisson said. “It becomes clearer for gamers that this is the technology that enables us to unlock our vision for the game they want.”
