Axie Infinity, one of the most popular play-to-earn games, has sold over $ 4 billion in NFTs, according to CryptoSlam. This is now the most popular collection of NFTs in the world.
In Axie Infinity, players collect, multiply, grow, trade, and use in battle creatures called "axies," which are digitized as NFTs. The most expensive axle ever sold cost over $ 800,000. Most of the money goes into the players' pockets. The developer of the game, Sky Mavis, charges a commission of 4.25% of each transaction.
Axie Infinity will be playable for free
More than 2.7 million users have been active in the Axie Infinity game in the last month, but the developers want to attract more players. Sky Mavis has announced that it will switch to the free-to-play model, which will allow those interested to try the game without spending money. They will receive free axial monsters, but they are not NFTs and cannot be sold.
Currently, in order to play Axie, one person must purchase three NFTs. At one point, they cost more than $ 600 last year. At the moment, the cheapest axle costs $ 24.
"Guilds", such as Yield Guild Games, are available for players in emerging countries who cannot afford to pay to enter the game. Through them, game creature owners rent their NFTs to other players, and the profits are shared.
Players can earn money in other ways in Axie Infinity. By participating in the fights I receive Smooth Love Potion (SLP), the cryptocurrency in the game. Tokens can then be turned into real money or used to buy new axie creatures. SLP virtual coins can be won, after the debut of the free-to-play model, by players who do not have NFTs.
Twisted Metal will be turned into a TV series with actor Anthony Mackie
Peacock, the video streaming service owned and operated by NBCUniversal (a subsidiary of Comcast), commissioned a first season of the Twisted Metal series, based on the video game series of the same name. This is a new production from Sony Pictures TV, PlayStation Productions and Universal Television, with actor Anthony Mackie (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) both in the lead role and as an executive producer.
The script for this television adaptation of Twisted Metal was written by Michael Jonathan Smith (Cobra Kai), who also plays executive role and manages the entire project.
Based on the series of games that highlighted the motorized fights between different drivers and their vehicles, the Twisted Metal series proposes a slightly different formula. Conceived as a comedy with action elements, the half-hour series will put Mackie in the role of John Doe, a driver who jumped off the landline and is offered a chance at a better life. The condition? Deliver a mysterious package through a post-apocalyptic wilderness, while other "drivers" on board other combat vehicles (including a sadistic clown driving an ice cream van) try to stop him.
Twisted Metal thus joins the projects that the PlayStation Productions division co-produces, in addition to the upcoming series The Last of Us, made in collaboration with HBO, and the newly released film Uncharted, which is enjoying success in theaters.
