The long-awaited airdrop date for Hamster Kombat has finally been announced, exciting the community after months of anticipation. The airdrop, which had been delayed due to technical difficulties, is now scheduled for September 26th, 2024. This delay has impacted the game's popularity, with active player numbers dropping from 155 million to 80.7 million as of late August.

Despite the $HMSTR token being traded on exchanges like Bybit and KuCoin for over a month, uncertainty about the token generation event (TGE) and airdrop led many players to leave the game. The announcement from Hamster Kombat’s X (formerly Twitter) account has brought some relief, though there are concerns that the date could be postponed again.

Details about the airdrop, including the number of recipients and the total supply of the $HMSTR token, remain unclear. The project has promised that 60% of the token supply will go to the community, with the remaining 40% reserved for market liquidity. However, the launch price and other specifics are still unknown.

The announcement has provided some hope, but the future of Hamster Kombat remains uncertain, especially with previous delays and ongoing questions about the game's direction and the involvement of venture capitalists.
