More well known names continue to make forays into the world of NFTs. And though not all will see success, with famous people such as Todd McFarlane and Patrick Mahomes building their own NFT brands, it’s clear that NFTs are here to stay.

And the world of web3 gaming hasn’t been silent, either. Welcome to the 191st edition of the Play to Earn newsletter!

After announcing that their game servers would remain up full-time, Champions Ascension has worked hard to fill the time with events and gatherings. And this week is no exception as they launch into the Festival of Xiva!

On top of that we have a major patch release from Big Time. So major in fact, that everyone’s characters have been reset! Fableborne has begun their final tournament for the Primordials mint whitelist, players in Upland can now begin nurturing their Totems, Mocaverse kicks off a Cosmic Hunt for artifacts, MetalCore is accepting open beta registrations, more play and earn events in The Sandbox, including one from an independent developer, and an open beta for Cradles starts next week!

And of course that’s not all. Read on for more headlines and news from this past week!

There is always something new happening in the web3 gaming scene! To keep up with all of the latest news, make sure to follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our YouTube channel. In the meantime, have fun, stay safe, and see you guys in the metaverse!
