Welcome to the 177th edition of the Play to Earn newsletter!

Lots of things happening this week in web3 gaming with new playtests, releases, and roadmaps!

Both Gods Unchained and Mojo Melee provided roadmaps with their plans for future game development over the coming months. Grit officially launches, and this cowboy-themed FPS can be downloaded and played for free via the Epic Games Launcher. And by the way Grit is the first web3 game to be released on Epic Games!

Seedify announces another IDO for an AI project, this one going by the name of Orbofi. Life Beyond offers a new challenge mode for players, Splinterlands brings another DEC burning event to their playerbase (with lots of prizes), and Illuvium Zero heads into Season One of their alpha, giving players a chance to mint Blueprints for the first time!

On a sad note, Axes Metaverse and City States: Medieval closed their game servers, leaving the future of both games uncertain.

And, as usual, this is just a small sampling of the activity in the web3 gaming space. Read on for more headlines from this past week!
