The crypto and NFT gaming space is busier than ever lately, what with prominent games starting to release, token airdrops piling up, and a seemingly constant array of other things happening at all times. It’s a lot to take in!

Luckily, Decrypt’s GG is all over it. And if you need a quick way to get caught up on the latest moves around crypto video games, we’re happy to present This Week in Crypto Games.

Our weekend roundup serves up the biggest news from the past week, along with a few other tidbits you might have missed. We also showcase a few of our original stories from the week.

Eve Frontier on Ethereum: The creator of Eve Online, CCP Games, announced on Thursday that its upcoming survival blockchain game previously referred to as Project Awakening will be rebranded to Eve Frontier—and it will be built within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The on-chain space simulator will feature multiple crypto tokens which will be issued with Ethereum’s ERC-20 token standard. And it is being developed on Redstone, an Ethereum layer-2 network built with Optimism tech that is primed for on-chain, autonomous game worlds. The game's next closed beta test kicks off later this month.

Hamster Kombat + Catizen Binance giveaways: Viral Telegram tap-to-earn game Hamster Kombat confirmed on Thursday that its token’s total supply will be 100 billion. Alongside this announcement, it was revealed that billions of tokens will be dropped to customers of crypto exchange Binance for participating in a Launchpool rewards campaign.

Customers in legally permitted countries (sorry U.S. folks, you’re excluded) will be able to stake Binance Coin (BNB) and the FDUSD stablecoin in the weeklong rewards campaign to earn a share of HMSTR tokens. The campaign will run from September 19 until September 26—the launch date for the token on The Open Network (TON).

The following day, Telegram game Catizen confirmed similar plans, giving away 90 million tokens (out of a supply of 1 billion CATI) in a Binance Launchpool campaign that will last from September 16-19. Also, on Saturday, Catizen revealed airdrop allocations to players and allowed them to choose if they'd like to send those tokens to a centralized exchange account once the token is generated on September 20.#BinanceLaunchpoolHMSTR #BinanceLaunchpoolCATI
