November has come and gone, and this newsletter is long overdue. It’s hard to express how grateful we are for all of our supporters out there across the globe; we're grateful for this Axie Infinity community; we're incredibly grateful for Sky Mavis, they’ve not only given us all a reason to come together and build this growing nation, but they are leading a gaming revolution that is giving ownership to its players. Thank you all!
Growth
We are gearing up for the final sprint to AIR22!
New Sponsors
We've had a host of new sponsors since the end of October including:
Ready Player DAO, Showdown Scholars, Yield Guild Games, Blockchain Space, CritTheory Gaming, Bread Winners Guild, and Community Gaming.
New Featured Artists:
All works from our featured creators will be available as part of a “silent” auction live at AIR. Check out the rest of the collection in our Gallery.
Las Vegas and the Luxor
The Luxor will become Lunacia for a weekend in May. We don’t want this event to be like any “convention“ or “conference“ — it’s a retreat. A retreat into Lunacia Kingdom. As such, we’re drawing inspiration Axie gameplay, land, and land items with a little retro-synthwave twist.
Learn all you can from leaders in the Savannah. Battle your way through the Forest and Arctic. Then take a step across the Ronin Bridge to Luna’s Landing for exhibits and main stage entertainment. The Mystic Lands is a private zone for our AIR totem holders, sponsors, and invited guests.
This little corner we call Luxor-nacia is within 5 minutes of the casino floor, hotel rooms, and various restaurants.
You can now book rooms at a discounted price online through our web portal! Visit axieretreat.com/venue to learn more!
Check out the Luxor Hotel Property Map for more context.
Program Announcements
Our Friday and Saturday program is filling up with some amazing content creators and streamers such as AxieChat's Enjoi & Baronar, Newfound, Cloudwhite, Zee, Tuerd, PandaPops, llevans, Tyranitar, Ansel, and Putra!
We have a handful of contests and competitions planned for both online and in-person attendees from art contests to costume contests, from game shows like "Guess That Axie Price" and "Jeopardy: Axie Edition" to mini-tournaments like the "Guild Wars". The event itself will have plenty of opportunities to Axie Hard.
Sunday is a major tournament day, and we want tournaments to be as accessible as possible. As such, we have a host of casters from languages around the world:
English 🏴🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 — Chief & Bryce
Tagalog 🇵🇭 — KooKoo
Indonesian 🇮🇩 — Papuyu & Auxey
Spanish 🇻🇪 🇪🇸 🇦🇷 🇲🇽 — Azarian
Portuguese 🇵🇹 🇧🇷 — Bruno Clash
Japanese 🇯🇵 — Aruchan
Hindi 🇮🇳 — Vaas.eth
We know many people are itching for the event schedule. And we promise it's coming soon! We also have some secret plans for our AIR22 attendees that we can't wait to share with you, but that would ruin the surprise. Stay tuned for more event activity announcements in the coming weeks~
