The latest announcement is the launch of the Alpha version of Axie Infinity Origin (Battle V3) - the newest update of the game.

This is considered one of the biggest changes to Axie to date, promising to bring an enticing and fresh Axie world to players.

Overview of Axie Infinity: Origin

Axie Infinity was created as an NFT card game where players control creatures called Axies battling each other using cards and earning rewards if victorious.

Additionally, players can breed Axies on the Marketplace to profit from them.

New World in Axie Infinity Origin

However, that's just a small part of the game world that Sky Mavis aims to build. With this Origin version, Axie Infinity becomes more true to its name - an infinite Axie world.

Here, each Axie will be a unique version living in the world of Lunacia. Beyond offering players exciting battles, Origin will include many other activities like farming, building, territory defense, and exploring valuable resources on the lands within Lunacia.

According to information from the Sky Mavis team, the Axie Infinity Origin version will be divided into three main phases:

Phase 1: Focus on simulating and managing land in the Lunacia world, such as production, resource collection, construction, and business.
Phase 2: Building and adding more management elements to the game, such as farming skills, jobs, and social activities.
Phase 3: More focus on team-based strategic gameplay like defense, combat, and conquest. Lunacia still has a long way to go in its development, with new game features continuously updated to provide players with fresh experiences.

Not stopping at expanding gameplay and ecosystem for Axie Infinity, the development team also upgraded the game's graphics to 3D, providing a more realistic gaming experience for users.

This is also why the Origin version was postponed from Q4 2021 to Q1 2022.

Key Points to Note about Axie Infinity Origin

The Alpha version of Axie Infinity Origin is scheduled to be released at the end of March 2022.
Players will explore new lands in the Lunacia world and experience new activities in the game (building, mining, combat).
There will be no SLP or AXS rewards in the Alpha version.
Battle V2 version will still run alongside the Alpha Origin.
After the Alpha version ends, Season 0 of Axie Infinity Origin will officially begin. Battle V2 may be merged into this Season 0, or it may continue to run for some time before being officially integrated into the entire Axie Infinity world.

Highlights of Axie Infinity Origin

From the perspective of an Axie player, I feel that this version of Axie Origin has quite a few new things for everyone to explore.

Although Sky Mavis has not yet provided specific information on what will actually be in Origin, it's easy to see that Axie will be built as its own world, similar to the famous traditional game "Farmville".

Axie Cards

For players who have participated in Axie in Battle V1 and V2 versions, they are probably familiar with playing the game with cards. Essentially, this form will still be preserved in the Origin version. However, there will be some changes in features and card stats.

New Cards in Axie Infinity Origin

With the cards in V1 and V2 including 2 stats, Armor and Damage, in Origin, each card will only have one stat: either Armor or Damage. Furthermore, the cards will still have specific feature descriptions to help players make suitable choices.

Although the exact numbers have not been released, many players speculate that in addition to changing the features, Axie will also introduce many new card types for other parts of Axie.

New Gameplay Mechanism

According to the description from the Sky Mavis team, Axie battles will take place sequentially by Turns instead of Rounds as before. It is still unclear whether this is just a different name or if there will be additional changes in Axie's battle rounds.

New gameplay mechanism in Axie Infinity Origin

The mechanism of choosing cards in Origin has also changed from previous versions. Accordingly, cards will no longer be accumulated per round as before; instead, each round will have a certain number of turns. This will reduce the player's chance of passing, so you need new strategies when engaging with opponents.

In addition, Axies will immediately engage in combat as soon as you or your opponent choose cards. This means that once you choose a card, you cannot change your decision as before.

In my opinion, this mechanism will require players to focus more on the game, observe the opponent's moves, and devise appropriate strategies for their Axie team.

Upgrade Items Rune and Charm

Rune and Charm are two new items introduced in the Axie Infinity Origin version. These items will be directly equipped on your Axie to buff their strength. Specifically, runes will provide new passive powers to Axies, while charms will enhance the existing features of Axies.

In the Alpha Origin version, Runes and Charms will be created from Moonshard - resources collected when winning battles. According to Sky Mavis, in the Alpha Origin version, Runes and Charms will be gradually released as non-NFT items.

In subsequent updates after the Alpha version, the team will upgrade the power of Runes and Charms and convert them into NFT form.

Therefore, in addition to Moonshard, you need to use SLP to craft Rune and Charm NFTs. This is also one of the new SLP burning mechanisms integrated into Axie Infinity Origin, instead of just using SLP for breeding Axie.

However, it is important to note that these items (Rune, Charm, Moonshard) will be reset after each season. This means you need to continuously participate in hunting missions in the game to collect upgrade materials for your Axie.

Axie Stats and Crit Rate

As you can see, the Origin version is gradually accelerating the pace of activities in the game (shortening the time to choose cards, playing by turns).

Accordingly, the other stats of Axie in the Origin version will also be greatly simplified compared to previous versions. Instead, players only need to pay attention to Axie's HP (health).

If you have played Axie in the Battle V1 and V2 versions, you have probably heard of "divine crits" that can change the course of the game - from losing to winning and vice versa.

This is likely to be a controversial factor among the Axie player community due to its random nature. In the Origin version, these crits will still exist, but players will be able to calculate their own and their opponent's crit timing.

According to information from Sky Mavis, there will be an energy gauge that Axie accumulates during the battle. When the energy gauge is full, it will be the time for Axie to unleash its crit.

I personally find this mechanism quite good because players can easily control their battles, make appropriate calculations, rather than depending too much on the game's random factors.

Free to Play

Previously, to start playing Axie Infinity, you needed a minimum team of 3 Axies purchased on the Marketplace. However, starting from the Origin version, players will be provided with 3 free Axies to experience the game. This free-to-earn factor may help Axie expand its user base, thereby attracting more potential players.

Free Axie for players in Axie Infinity Origin

Players can use these Axies to experience PvE and PvP modes in the game; however, they will not receive rewards after battles. To earn money from Axie, you still have to play with NFT Axies purchased on the marketplace or bred from your other NFT Axies.

New World in Axie Infinity

With this update, Axie Infinity is no longer just a simple card game, but a gaming ecosystem encapsulated in the Lunacia world of Axie.

It's easy to see that games built on Blockchain are quite simple, with most focusing on the earn factor within the game.

However, to maintain long-term existence in the NFT game market, gameplay mechanics are a prerequisite to help the game retain its player base.

That's also what I see most clearly in Axie Infinity, although it's not certain whether this Origin version will help SLP recover from the recent inflation crisis. But what Sky Mavis is building for Axie Infinity now shows that they have truly invested in and planned long-term development for this game.

Lunacia World in Axie Infinity Origin

Accordingly, Axie Origin also creates many new earning opportunities for investors. In Axie's Lunacia world, you can do business in new lands, carry out mining activities, construction, breeding, and combat with your Axie team.

Support for New Players

One of the major barriers for new players wanting to play Axie Infinity is the initial cost of buying NFT Axies to form a team of 3 creatures for combat.

With the popularity of Axie Infinity soaring in 2021, the value of these NFTs also increased accordingly, inadvertently limiting the community's ability to expand players, forcing them to join communities/guilds to apply for scholarships.

Recognizing this issue, Axie Infinity: Origin will provide players with free "starter" Axies. Players will receive additional "starter" Axies when participating in PvE mode and can use them to engage in PvP.

However, these Axies are not N

FT, so players will not receive any rewards after completing the game.

Origin will also not have any SLP or AXS rewards in its first version. This may disappoint many players in the community, but it is important to note that in the Origin version, the focus will be on user experience to optimize features and mechanics.

PvP Mode in Axie Infinity Origin

According to the Sky Mavis team, players will be limited in the number of PvP battles in the Origin version to 10 games per day.

In addition to the changes in the number of battles, the energy gauge mechanism of the characters will also be improved to provide players with better control over their performance.

The Origin version will also introduce new types of cards, improving the gameplay experience by creating more team-building strategies.

As we all know, the mechanics of the Axie game, in addition to NFT, have also attracted many investors. The game's development team, with Sky Mavis as the leader, has also gradually improved the game experience to increase the number of players.

Ecosystem Development in Axie Infinity

For that, Axie Infinity also acts as a great solution for investors to make money and get this token. This ecosystem has a lot of simple features in April 202 played with have
