The Sky Mavis team, behind the successful game Axie Infinity, has recently introduced a new feature called "Second Stage Evolution" for all Axie game characters. Each enhancement, uniquely designed by the artist Masamu, helps evolve NFT characters as they are used, improving their combat skills and visual charm.
Furthermore, players can now visit the in-game store "Garuda Shrine Shop," where amazing AXP consumables are available to enhance Axie abilities. Interestingly, a connection has been established between Axie, Fortune Slips, and the "Garuda Shrine Shop": players can now exchange their Fortune Slips in this shop for a chance to win in-game rewards. Prepare for an increase in potential rewards as you accumulate more Axies.
Introducing new enhancement items known as consumables, including Cocochoco, also contributes to increasing AXP (the initial base for Axie upgrades and development) when used on Axies. Players looking to improve their Axies can also use these materials for crafting or trading with other Axies to achieve their goals.
One of the key goals of these enhancements is to address the long-standing issue inherent in the NFT market - oversaturation with new collections. Unlike the common practice of constantly releasing new collections, Axie Infinity is making efforts to refresh and develop NFTs to add new content without expanding the original collections. Currently, there are over 11.9 million unique Axie NFTs on the market with various prices, ranging from modest amounts to thousands of dollars.
This expansion of possibilities benefits not only Axie Infinity but also expands horizons for all games in the Axie world. All Axie games are united by a common system of experience, crafting materials, and progress, which represents an innovative concept in the world of NFTs that has not been effectively realized before.
In addition to these exciting changes, Sky Mavis also plans to introduce a 20-page comic and an animated clip that reveal storyline details about Axie enhancements. In this thrilling story, characters "Ema" and "Bing" embark on a mission to find "spiritual shells" - special entities in the world of Axie Lunacia. This exciting discovery leads them to the mysterious Atia temple, where Axies can elevate their level.
In conclusion, it can be said that the upcoming second-stage evolution in the world of Axie Infinity is changing the gameplay for dedicated players and showcasing the potential of NFTs in the gaming world. This innovative concept of developing digital collectibles opens up new horizons in the game development industry.
