April showers bring May playtests! May kicks off with a bang as we have even more playtests for you to try. And in the world of high-priced NFTs, we have a new contender taking the crown for highest volume of sales this past week! Who is it? Read on to find out! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Web3 gaming continues to launch new playtests left and right. New entries this week include Mojo Melee bringing players a chance to play to mint<\/a> in their open beta, Everseed<\/a> launching a new demo with numerous updates, Uldor updating their Dread Arena<\/a>, R3V3NGE offering players a chance to kill zombies in their open beta<\/a>, and Gala Games dropping some May Mayhem<\/a> on their players, with events happening across their entire game portfolio!<\/p>\n

And best of all, these are all actual games! Ones where you need to use skill and\/or strategy to succeed. The latest web3 game developments are rapidly putting the days of casino games and click-miners behind us. Which of these up and coming games will manage to catch and hold the attention of gamers over the upcoming months?<\/p>\n

Read on for a look at the most active web3 games and NFT projects for the week. And be sure to keep an eye on our website<\/a> and Twitter feed<\/a> for the latest developments in the web3 gaming space!<\/strong><\/p>\n

DappRadar cant seem to make up their minds, as Iskra is back on top of their charts this week, even with a 78% decline in active users. But we talked before about how most of the Iskra player count comes from users (bots most likely) hitting the website for the daily spin-to-win feature. Which is a good example of how stats like these can be misleading at times. But, we work with what we have, and these numbers are still meaningful.<\/p>\n

Planet IX goes down. Planet IX goes up. After a 50% reduction in active players last week, Planet IX rebounds with a 50% gain this week. Splinterlands managed to stop their bleeding, for now at least. Though they are still way down from their peak of 300k weekly users.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, we still have the usual list of suspects in our top 10 this week.<\/p>\n

Well look at this. A project not affiliated with BAYC takes the top spot this week! Azuki leads the pack with an impressive 23 million in sales over the past week!<\/p>\n

And despite some major increases for a few projects, overall NFT sales continue to remain depressed this week. Which reinforces the idea that a lot of the heavy activity over the past few months was wash trading and market manipulation rather than actual user interest.<\/p>\n

We also have another surprising entry from Blocklords. This is a rare sighting of a game project in the top 10, and is also the only project in the top 20 on Immutable X. Though I suspect we may see more from Immutable X over the coming months!<\/p>\n
