Regularly we provide an overview of the best play and earn games in Web3. This list of games has been made with the idea that you can play the game, participate in a beta test or have the opportunity to earn some crypto tokens. September 2024 will offer plenty of excitement, and now let’s dive into the 10 play-to-earn Web3 games you need to check out as the bull run is hyping up.
Please note. This article is updated monthly to reflect the latest trends and upcoming game events properly. – Last update: 13 September 2024.
1. The Machines Arena
The Machines Arena is a top-down hero shooter filled with action combat. Players can enter the arena for PVP and PVE matches, and participate in the play-to-airdrop campaign for a share of 70,000,000 TMA tokens. Recently they introduced a Daily Raffle, boosting their onchain mechanics. You can play the game, complete quests, and unlock community airdrop milestones. To become eligible for the airdrop you need to play at least 20 matches and have the VIP status at least once. VIP costs $5 worth of RON, or more depending on the tier you purchase. The airdrop campaign will end late September.
2. Pulsar
The Avalanche-powered Pulsar L1 mainnet will launch on 18 October, and all $tPLSR earned on testnet will carry over to the mainnet. That’s a good motivation to start playing Pulsar right now. In this action-packed MMO RTS players need to defeat enemies and mine PLSR. The challenge? The world is deadly, and surviving is a challenge in its own. Also interesting to keep in mind, they will have a Genesis Sale for special units that mine more PLSR. This sale will start on 20 September, while the team is also preparing an IDO for their token.
3. VulcanVerse & Vulcan Forged
Vulcan Forged has been working on VulcanVerse for a long time, while they also have their own Elysium gaming ecosystem. This September the team introduced professions in VulcanVerse, a fantasy MMORPG where the players can fish, forage, trade, pray and complete quests. The studio also launched Vulcan’s Creed on mobile devices, allowing players to earn LAVA and PYR. But the entire Vulcan ecosystem is on fire right now, because they have the Vulcan’s September Showdown. That’s $12,000 in prizes for the 15 best players on the leaderboard.
4. Guild of Guardians
The mobile RPG Guild of Guardians has been available for a few months now, and on 25 September they will launch a major update dubbed Frostmire. Players can increase their commander level cap to 120, while obtaining level 7 gear. Moreover, there will be new stories, new adventure dungeons, new challenge dungeons and special events. Things will also become a lot more interesting for Guilds, as Guild Crafting and Guild Boss Battles will take centre stage. Next month they will even introduce utility for Pets…
5. RavenQuest
The free play-and-earn MMORPG RavenQuest is now available in early access, and players can participate to become eligible for the upcoming token airdrop. Moreover, on 14 September they will have a land sale. A total of 4,000 land parcels will go up for sale, giving owners production multipliers, airdrop boosts, early access, customizable houses, and much more. RavenQuest is building on Immutable zkEVM.
6. Paradise Tycoon
With the summer ending, I personally am dreaming of tropical islands. That’s perhaps enough reason to keep my eyes on Paradise Tycoon, because in this tycoon building and management adventure game will have a land sale on 13 September. You can buy your own private island using the MOANI token, and earnings from the sale go to the Harvest Season rewards. So, this ultimately benefits all players actively participating in Paradise Tycoon.
7. MetalCore
Anybody with a PC can now download the mech shooter MetalCore from the Epic Games Store. Players can now fight each other on massive battlegrounds, climbing the leaderboards and earning MCG tokens. The first official MetalCore season is called Metalpunk Rhapsody, which comes with 3 premium tiers: bronze, silver and gold. Each of these tiers comes with more and bigger rewards. The first season runs from 13 September until 11 October, with a total of 90 million MCG in the reward pool.
8. The Watch
The Watch is a much-anticipated action RTS, and you can now play the game in alpha through the Epic Games Store. The Watch is a top-down, player-vs-player strategy game where two armies of futuristic heroes face off to destroy the other’s base. Build your Battle Deck, activate powerful abilities, think faster than your opponent and take down turrets as you battle your way to victory. The free-to-play game launched this September with a $1,000 Alpha Championship. Players can collect units, which come which special gameplay abilities. Maps always change, while new game modes are on the horizon.
9. The Sandbox
The Sandbox has various initiatives to get developers into their community. Their development tools are getting better as well, and that’s why we want to mention The Sandbox in this list. They now allow developers or hobbyists to make their own survival games, which would include resource gathering, tool crafting, and shelter building. It’s also worthy to know that The Sandbox invites players to play and compete in the best game experiences of the week, which comes with a 10,000 SAND reward pool.
10. Apeiron
Apeiron, a roguelite RTS card game on Ronin Network, has launched their Season 3. Players can now play the game and climb the leaderboard to share a 1 million APRS reward pool.
