The long-awaited popular play-to-earn game Axie Infinity new version launch is finally here! Starting from 7th of April, Axie Infinity: Origin or Axie Battles v3 Alpha testing is out for all the PC players. Sky Mavis, the developer said all existing Axie accounts and relative beginners are welcomed to explore the new Axie ecosystem including brand new interfaces, sophisticated game mechanics, special effects, graphics, storylines and expansive onboarding experience.
To be more approachable for the audience, this Alpha testing has been built as a free-to-play game. The new in-game mechanics provide 3 free starter Axies so that new players have a chance to try out before investing in the non-fungible token (NFT) Axies. For now, there’s only a Mavis Hub desktop version for the Alpha testing but the release of a mobile version is foreseeable in the future.
Existing players and new players should be acknowledged that Origin during Alpha Testing phase is still in the early access stage, so there’ll be no Smooth Love Potion (SLP) token or any other monetary rewards available.
During this Alpha testing, players are welcomed to provide valuable customer feedback which allow Sky Mavis to further refine the game ahead of launch of the Season 0. When the update of the full formal game launch officially releases, all Trainer progress and resources earned during the Alpha window will be reset from Trainer accounts.
There’s a slight difference for the steps taken between existing Axie players and beginners (who don’t own NFT Axies).
