Early Playtest Rollout
Pixiland has initiated an early access playtest for Patch V2.0.0, dubbed “The War Begins,” catering specifically to Genesis Pass holders, Frontier Land owners, and a chosen few active players, promising broader public access on December 11 at 2 PM UTC. This strategic move allows specific users to explore and provide feedback on new game elements before they become widely available.
A Leap in Gameplay and Economic Integration
With significant gameplay enhancements, this patch introduces a novel land economy system enabling landowners to generate income by hosting other players for item crafting and upgrades, charging a tax for these services. Players can also combine two heroes of the same rarity to create a superior hero, optimizing resource use.
NFT Integration and Dashboard Utilization
Further, crafted buildings can now be minted as NFTs directly through the newly launched Pixiland dashboard, which facilitates minting, depositing, and withdrawing of NFTs, and manages cryptocurrency transactions with RON as the initial supported currency. The dashboard becomes a central tool for handling digital assets within the game’s ecosystem.
Exclusive Incentives for Early Adopters
Genesis Pass holders, registered before the December 8 snapshot, received exclusive playtest rewards including a random Ultra Rare hero, 180 gems, and 200,000 CROWN. Such incentives underline the value of early investment in game passes, offering benefits unattainable through regular shop purchases.
Economic Activation and Market Response
Following the minting of 4,444 unique Frontier Land NFT plots in late November, these lands have become operational within the game’s economy. The introduction of diverse land traits enhances strategic depth in preparation for future PVP battles. Post-patch, trading volumes of Pixiland NFTs have escalated, placing three collections in the top 10 rankings on the Ronin Network, reflecting heightened investor and player interest.
Future Developments and Strategic Enhancements
Post-beta, players can look forward to a slew of features aimed at enriching player engagement—PVP Arena, Battle Pass, PVP League Event, and a Creator Program are all on the horizon. Until December 11, the early playtest period serves as a crucial phase for testing and refining these ambitious updates.
