Web3 gaming is cooking this summer with airdrops, new games, and major developments flooding the space.
This week: Bombie’s BOMB token airdrop is finally underway following a month-long delay, Pengu Clash gears up for its launch on Telegram, and Shiba Inu steps into Web3 gaming with a new AI partnership.
The delayed and much-hyped Bombie (BOMB) token generation event (TGE) is officially underway as players across several major crypto exchanges claim their tokens.
Furthermore, at 12:00 UTC on June 17, Bombie players were finally able to claim their long-awaited BOMB tokens via TON and KAIA on-chain wallets.
The BOMB token opened at $0.0029, climbed to $0.00416, and has since fallen to $0.001875 at the time of writing. It currently has a market cap of $14.36 million.
Bombie launched in August 2024 as the next flagship airdrop offering in the Catizen ecosystem. Its popularity and growth have been solid, drawing 11 million players to its simplistic zombie-killing mobile game.
After delaying the TGE and airdrop by almost a month, the Bombie team has fulfilled its promise to deliver, allowing players to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The next major play-to-earn (P2E) offering on Telegram in the form of Pengu Clash, a new mobile title based on the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection.
Over 2 million players have signed up to the game’s waiting list in order to duke it out across several skill-based multiplayer minigames like football or darts.
It launches on June 18 and could be the next major airdrop chase on Telegram this year.
One of crypto’s top-performing memecoins, Shiba Inu (SHIB), is taking its first steps into Web3 gaming and now AI as part of a new partnership with decentralized gaming platform, TokenPlayAI.
Developed by Astra Nova, TokenPlayAI is an AI platform that allows users to build and develop games without using any coding know-how.
It’ll now be integrating its tech on the upcoming Shib.fun gaming platform built on the Shiba Inu network.
The SHIB token is currently trading at $0.000011. With a market cap of $6.92 billion, it ranks as the 19th largest cryptocurrency under Toncoin (TON).
