The major announcements come from Illuvium, who launch the alpha of their land game known as Illuvium Zero, and Axie Infinity, who also launch their land gameplay alpha! It's a good time to be a landowner!

And that's not all! Alien Worlds introduces land maintenance, some NFT collections are migrating away from Solana, Metalands launches a major update, Blockchain Brawlers opens a limited time, Brawler burning event, and players can snag ugly Christmas sweaters from the Continuum marketplace!

And as the world turns, so are there always more announcements and updates. Read on for additional headlines this past week from the web3 gaming and NFT space!
