This Week in Crypto Games: 'X Empire' Airdrop, 'Hamster Kombat' Season 2 Revealed.
X Empire airdrop: Telegram tap-to-earn game X Empire has completed its latest mining phase, shutting down the game ahead of this Thursday's X token launch on The Open Network (TON). The short-lived "Chill Phase" of the game formerly known as "Musk Empire" lasted just over two weeks, giving players a last shot to get a bigger slice of tokens ahead of the October 24 airdrop.
This isnât the first time that X Empire has gone through this process. The game completed its original, monthslong mining phase on September 30, with plans for the X token launch to take place soon thereafter. But it returned two days later, relaunching with a "Chill Phase" that offered an additional 5% of the total token supply to players.
Not everyone is thrilled with the airdrop rollout, however. After the game revealed airdrop allocations to players on Friday, many complained that they had been left out entirelyâand the game's creator revealed that just 6 million players were eligible, out of a total of more than 50 million total players.
Some players have taken to Twitter to complain to Elon Musk about it... but he doesn't actually have anything to do with the game, despite the original name and the cartoonish avatars bearing his likeness.
Hamster Kombat Season 2: We knew that the second season of smash Telegram crypto game Hamster Kombat was due later this month, but on Thursday, the developers revealed the themeâand it's a big overhaul.
