It seems like déjà vu all over again for players of the Telegram crypto game X Empire. After a series of delays and changes in plans, the developers have once again announced the end of gameplay in preparation for the long-awaited airdrop.
Following the previous announcement of the end of the original mining phase and the introduction of a “Chill Phase” mini-season to bridge the gap, X Empire has confirmed that the X token on The Open Network (TON) will finally launch on October 24. Players can expect to receive their airdrop on the same date, after the current “Chill Phase” season concludes on Thursday, October 17 at 6pm UTC.
As per tradition, X Empire will halt gameplay a week before the airdrop to finalize calculations and prepare for the token launch. The claiming process will commence on Friday, with trading of the token scheduled to begin on October 24.
Originally known as Musk Empire, the game has evolved since its launch in July. Players can upgrade and customize avatars based on crypto figures like Elon Musk, Vitalik Buterin, and Pavel Durov, using in-game cash to enhance their attributes and businesses.
With 75% of the 690 billion token supply allocated to players, X Empire aims to incentivize continued engagement and participation. The remaining tokens will be reserved for future rewards and initiatives.
