all about cryptop referances
On Wednesday, the team behind the blockchain game Splinterlands announced that it reached a new milestone after the project sold more than 10 million packs of the fantasy-themed fighting game Chaos Legion card series. The achievement follows the project’s recent partnership with the Major League Soccer Players Association and Warner Music Group.
Play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain game Splinterlands has announced that the project has sold more than 10 million packs originating from the game’s third major card expansion series, Chaos Legion. Splinterlands is a game that utilizes cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to enhance online trading card tournaments.
The Splinterlands cards or NFTs can be bought and sold via secondary markets, and to start playing, new users must acquire a “Summoner’s Spellbook”. The cards in the Chaos Legion series went on sale eight months ago on January 17, 2022, and only 15,000,000 packs were minted.
The Splinterlands project says that the cards’ limited availability after the 10 million sold marks the cards’ “homecoming” in relation to what is left. Splinterlands co-founder and current CEO Jesse Reich said the team was pleased with the sales performance of Chaos Legion, and the co-founder said the Splinterlands team was looking forward to more expansion.
“The successes are coming in a flood these days, and we’re excited,” Reich said Wednesday. “Our community is phenomenal, and we are so grateful for their loyalty and enthusiasm, which is a continuous inspiration for our team to continue creating this remarkable game with them. We look forward to expanding further into the mainstream gaming industry and showing the world what Web 3.0 is all about.”
News of 10 million packages sold follows Splinterland’s partnership with the Major League Soccer Players Association (MLSPA) and Warner Music Group (WMG).
“I don’t think we can underestimate how massive the opportunity around P2E gaming is,” Oana Ruxandra, head of digitization at WMG, said in late February. “Our partnership with Splinterlands draws attention to our artists and their music as we all work together to develop and maintain tokenized games.”
Additionally, in late September, in the middle of crypto winter when NFT sales have dive bombed, the Splinterlands card series called Riftwatchers sold out in less than two minutes. Gamefi (the intersection of gaming and finance) has been a popular trend in 2022 as games like Axie Infinity have sold billions of dollars.
For example, Axie Marketplace has sold $4.25 billion since its inception across 2,163,241 traders. A recent study shows that Gameta is the latest gamefi project with the highest number of monthly subscribers. While Gameta holds the number one position, Axie Infinity is the fifth largest and Splinterlands the fourth largest in terms of monthly subscribers.
