Ava Labs, in cooperation with Playfull and Magic Eden, released the Avalanche Battle Pass this past Monday. This free-to-mint NFT is designed to bridge games and incentivize players for exploring them. You can check out the Avalanche Battle Pass on the Magic EdenTM marketplace right now! It’s one of the central components of Avalanche blockchain’s gaming-centric ecosystem.
Unifying the Gaming Experience
The Avalanche Battle Pass is an attempt to make the user experience smooth and intuitive inside the Avalanche gaming ecosystem. It gives players a more consistent, connected experience with a single, familiar system that spans different games.
"One ecosystem, one Battle Pass, one user experience" - Parker Heath, Ava Labs Gaming Lead.
Eligible games for the Avalanche Battle Pass include Off the Grid, Pixelmon: Warden's Ascent, and Spellborne. Adding this initiative couldn’t be more timely. Crypto gaming on Avalanche is really picking up, bolstered by the exciting deployments of Off the Grid and MapleStory N.
Avalanche's Growing Gaming Ecosystem
Crypto gaming on Avalanche continues to pick up steam with high-profile launches such as Off the Grid and MapleStory N. Off the Grid has more than 300K daily active users and is in the process of migrating to the GUNZ mainnet. MapleStory N, which launched just last month, has already accrued more than 770,000 users.
"These titles highlight the increasing appetite for blockchain-enhanced gaming experiences and demonstrate Avalanche’s scalability and readiness to support complex, high-volume games" - Parker Heath.
These games are a testament to the growing demand for blockchain-integrated gaming experiences and Avalanche’s ability to power intricate, high-volume games. The addition of the Avalanche Battle Pass only strengthens this ecosystem by giving players a clear reward structure.
Rewarding Player Engagement
The main intention for the Battle Pass is to provide value to players for the time they spend playing in the Avalanche ecosystem of games. This methodology promotes discovery and engagement across a broad spectrum of gaming opportunities.
"The Battle Pass is our on-chain watering hole—a single progression layer where players earn rewards no matter which game they drop into" - Parker Heath.
The Avalanche Battle Pass offers a single ecosystem, a single Battle Pass, and a single user experience. Solana’s growing gaming ecosystem introduced a Solana Game Pass earlier this year.
