Crypto gaming is heating up, and one of the most exciting developments right now is Axie Infinity’s latest venture: Atia’s Legacy.
As a longtime fan of Axie’s original titles, I’m intrigued by this new direction—an MMO that expands Lunacia’s universe while tapping into a genre with major mainstream potential.
So what’s the big deal? And why is Atia’s Legacy already making waves? Let’s break it down.
✨ What is Atia's Legacy?
On March 5, 2025, Sky Mavis, the creators of Axie Infinity, announced Atia’s Legacy, a new massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set in the Axie universe of Lunacia.
The upcoming gameplay, which will be supported on mobile and PC, promises real-time, squad-based combat + guild wars in a post-war Lunacia landscape.
If interested, you can pre-register now for playtests starting in summer 2025, with a full launch eyed for 2026.
Referral rewards are also now live, including prize pools for over 25,000 AXS tokens (worth ~$80,000 as of now), plus raffle entries for rare Axie NFTs.
Bottom line? Axie Infinity is the biggest NFT project by all-time trading volume, so this new gaming advance can help entrench its IP dominance even further.
🔍 What to watch
+1 million players and counting have already registered for the new game. How high might this number climb in 3 months?
Also, the MMO format offers more varied activities than Axie's bread-and butter idle battlers, Origins and Classic, so Atia's Legacy has broader general appeal. Could this title eventually surpass Axie's flagship games in popularity as such?
Zooming out, this MMO and the Open Ronin launch are big fresh catalysts for the Axie ecosystem, and specifically the new game paves the way for more economic complexity around AXS, e.g advanced crafting systems as token sinks.
