SandBox, Illuvium and More Gaming News!

Play To Earn Games | 16 May 2023 07:36 UTC

Another week has passed, and it's time for another episode of Super Sunday Gaming News. This week also saw the release of additional alphas, which brings us right back up to where we left off.

We also have a lot of gaming NFTs going up for sale, Square Enix releasing some more information on Symbiogenesis, and some seed funding. So, a lot of new in-game content is making its way to the gamers in addition to the alphas.

Nekoverse has initiated the process of adding players to their play and earn alpha playtest, while Parallel is gearing up to launch their inaugural alpha later this month. Phantom Galaxies is currently providing airdrops of rewards to players who successfully completed all the missions during their alpha phase, and Chronos: Dawn of Time has transitioned into open beta (which is technically not alpha, but quite similar!).

As for the sales events, we've got some major sales events on the horizon as well. Seedify is holding its inaugural NFT sale, featuring Mounts that can be utilized both within and outside of their upcoming Seedworld metaverse.

Meanwhile, The Sandbox has announced its first land sale of 2023. Moreover, we shared about Illuvitars in last week’s edition, and this week we bring you some more on it. The Illuvitar sale is scheduled to take place shortly, and Illuvium has recently unveiled information about the collection and its associated collecting game, Illuvium Beyond.

So let's get started:

  • Nekoverse Alpha
  • Parallel Closed Alpha
  • The Sandbox Land Sale 2023
  • Illuvium Beyond and Illuvitars
  • Square Enix Shares More on Symbiogenesis

Nekoverse Alpha

Even though it has been accessible for a few weeks, you can still participate in the testnet alpha for Nekoverse and receive rewards prior to its launch on the mainnet. This game, featuring cats and a turn-based strategy, provides multiple options for playing and earning.

Nekoverse's most recent playtest was released on February 1, 2023, marking the last testnet iteration before the game transitions to the mainnet. You can download this ]version of the game easily which is also compatible with both Android and iOS devices. However, access to this test is limited to groups of 250 players, and the first few batches have already got access.

Parallel Closed Alpha

Get ready for another alpha launch! This time it's Parallel, a sci-fi themed TCG. Although only those who receive invites can participate, early access applications for Parallel are open to all.

For several months now, Parallel has been regularly releasing new card packs. And finally, collectors will be able to witness these cards in action during the closed alpha of the early access period!

Players can apply for early access. According to the Parallel team, email invites will begin to be sent out on February 22nd, with the alpha scheduled to launch on February 28th.

The Sandbox Land Sale 2023

It feels like quite some time since the last land sale by The Sandbox. However, they're now back with the first set of new lands in 2023! Despite the fact that the ecosystem for The Sandbox is still in its nascent stages, land plots are gradually increasing in value as the space expands. It won't be long before all the land plots are entirely sold out!

This 'Voxel Madness' land sale follows the Sandbox's new raffle system. To enter the raffle, players must have an account with verified identity (KYC) and hold 1,011 SAND tokens in their connected wallet (4,683 if they want to apply for a Premium land), the cost of a plot. Players with sufficient tokens can enter both raffles.

Raffle registrations open on February 14th, 3 p.m. UTC and continue until February 20 at 3 a.m. UTC. The results will be disclosed on February 21st at 11 a.m. UTC, and the sale will begin an hour later. Interested participants can register for Voxel Madness here.

Illuvium Beyond and Illuvitars

Illuvium recently released an announcement about Illuvium Beyond. A new game which is a combination PFP collection and NFT gathering game. They have now revealed more information about their plans for this fourth edition of the constantly growing Illuvium universe!

Illuvium continues to broaden its range of offerings, introducing Illuvitars and a new game, Illuvium Beyond, to a website near you!

Illuvium is planning to hold a sale for D1sk packs, which will be available in both Standard and Mega versions. Each pack includes a random Illuvitar and three accessories, while the Standard D1sk pack also contains an additional Tier 0 Illuvitar, and the Megapack includes an extra rare Illuvitar. Mega packs have higher odds of discovering items with a higher rarity.

While some D1sk packs are labeled as 'alpha' packs, they appear to be similar to regular packs. The Standard pack costs 0.0005 ETH, and the Megapack costs 0.025 ETH. Alpha packs are priced five times higher than regular packs.

The first wave of Illuvitars will roll out in batches, with a total of 25 Illuvials available for purchase. Interested buyers can preview the potential contents of this initial pack sale by visiting Illuvitars.
