Play-to-earn gaming continues to attract investment and attention as the ecosystem’s expansionary momentum accelerates. Yet, while there are hundreds of play-to-earn (P2E) games, only a handful cater to the ever-expanding community of mobile gamers. Additionally, most P2E games focus more on the “earn” aspect and less on the “game” elements. To address this reality and invite players to a balanced experience of both Web2 and Web3 features, Meta Apes has launched its free-to-play, play-to-earn massively multiplayer online (MMO) strategy game. Launched May 31, 2022, Meta Apes is designed to offer a mobile-first experience.
