“Axie Infinity” and “Splinterlands” are some of the most popular NFT games today.
The interest in play-to-earn (P2E) NFT games continues to increase in recent years. But, the surge in popularity has become more apparent in 2021, when more people started to participate.
There are already numerous games available that involve Non-Fungible Tokens and cryptocurrencies. Axie Infinity and Splinterlands are only some of them, and their respective successes seemingly paved the way for the development of more titles.
While some of them are already on the market, most are still in the early phase of development. iTechPost recently released a report, listing some of the new and upcoming NFT-based games for everyone to play.
Upcoming P2E NFT games in December 2021
The publication said that CryptoBattles is one of the newest NFT games today. It officially launched in the third quarter of the year, and is consistently rising through the ranks.
The game claims to be the first fully transparent PVP title on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) with play-to-earn (P2E) features. To date, it supports numerous crytos, including ETH, USDC, BUSD, and BCS-USD.
CryptoBattles is compatible with PCs and mobile devices. But, players can only play it through the MetaMask mobile app.
Another NFT-based game on the list is Sloties. It is a “newcomer” to the online Casino network, and offers entry to the Defi Gambling universe.
Like most NFT games, it utilises the Ethereum blockchain, and is based on the ERC-721 standard. Apart from staking, all “Slotie” owners get rewards, serving as a monthly passive income.
In addition to this, reports said that the title guarantees all of its owners a 20 percent rakeback in its partner casinos. As explained, “rakeback” has links to the rarity of the NFT, ranging from 5 to 20 percent.
How P2E NFT-based titles work
Each game has its own rules and mechanisms, and the same is true for those with NFT integrations. For NFT games, though, they utilise Non-Fungible Tokens in all of the title’s aspects, including even player interactions.
Binance Academy said that a game could represent anything as an NFT, like the characters, avatars, or even the digital in-game items. Players can then swap or trade these NFTs with others for a profit.
In a P2E model, however, players have the chance to generate an income stream through consistent playing. The longer an individual plays, the more the chance of earning rewards in the form of either NFTs or tokens.
The publication continued that tokens are usually necessary to the game’s crafting process. Nevertheless, they are tradeable on exchanges, which is another way for players to earn income.
