Blockchain games, also known as crypto games, NFT games, web3 games, or metaverse games, are essentially video games powered or partially built using blockchain technology. This technology sets them apart from traditional video games in significant ways, offering new possibilities for player rewards and ownership of digital content. Though the concept of blockchain emerged over a decade ago, it took until recently for blockchain gaming to gain prominence. 

In 2020, Axie Infinity marked a significant breakthrough after years of speculation about how blockchains could enhance video games. Swiftly claiming the title of the largest web3 game to date. The change improved how players receive rewards and own digital assets in innovative ways. Yet, Sky Mavis has been working on restoring the Ronin blockchain’s reputation since last year.

This effort was sparked by an alleged theft of over half a billion dollars by the North Korean hacking group Lazarus, which happened after the game switched from using the Ethereum blockchain. Bringing Apeiron to the Ronin blockchain isn’t Sky Mavis‘ first move to expand their game market. In March, the company revealed plans for four more titles to debut on the Ronin network. During this period, Foonie Magus, the Singapore-based company, gained recognition for its backing of the Acid Rain World franchise. Additionally, they launched the beta version of a new grand strategy mobile MMO titled Acid Rain World: Gray Dawn.

Foonie Magus passionately highlights Apeiron on their website as a key player in the emerging era of token-driven play-and-earn NFT games. They stress a tri-token system (governance, play-to-earn, and alliance tokens) for a dynamic in-game economy.

In Apeiron, players can engage with NFTs represented as Planets, Stars, and Relics. These NFTs provide direct ownership, allowing players to keep, sell, or utilize them within the broader NFT metaverse. The game integrates gameplay, enabling players to influence the world before taking on the role of a controllable Avatar, unveiling the universe’s mysteries through unique NFTs.
