The Biggest Web3 Gaming Highlights of April: Did You Miss It?

April closed as a strong month for the Web3 gaming ecosystem. The industry showed remarkable dynamism, driven by constant updates, adoption milestones, and competitions that reinforced community engagement. Below are the four titles that stood out for their relevance throughout the month, based on criteria such as user volume, content innovations, community participation, and competitive achievements.

RavenQuest: continuous improvements and Guild Wars system

RavenQuest maintained a highly active update pace, focused on enhancing gameplay, on-chain economy, and player interaction:

• Lucky Chests (April 2): launch of NFT chests with exclusive rewards (cosmetics, renown, and limited physical items), plus a leaderboard for top openers of the month.
• Update 1.0.3 (April 7): added Emote Wheel to enrich PvP expression, economic adjustments, and sound optimizations.
• Update 1.0.4 (April 15): profession balance and performance improvements.
• Guild Wars — The Battle Has Begun (April 16): official debut of the guild-vs-guild competitive mode, allowing alliances to fight for territories and on-chain rewards.
• Hotfixes and Update 1.0.6 (April 26 & 29): critical fixes and a new batch of features to ensure stability and smoothness.

The sequence of patches and the launch of Guild Wars boosted user retention and reinforced the game's social and competitive dynamics, supported by usage metrics and constant community feedback.

As a result, the game has demonstrated a stable market, with its $QUEST token consistently ranging around $0.08 since launch — a milestone few games have achieved lately. Additionally, it continues adding endgame content to keep users engaged and prevent stagnation.

Off The Grid: strengthening its Web3 infrastructure

Off The Grid, the battle royale shooter from Gunzilla Games, progressed toward its decentralized model with key milestones:

• Mainnet node launch on GUNZ Network (April 17): deployment of its own blockchain on Avalanche L1, a prerequisite for the game’s full transition to mainnet.
• $GUN token integrated into Binance Launchpool (March 31, impacting April): attracted 1.7 million participants and over $15.8 billion in staking volume.
• Testnet statistics: over 14.5 million wallets created, 431 million transactions, and 2–3 million daily transactions, with approximately 500,000 DAU in April.
• Community Challenges (April 3): series of PvP community challenges to boost player creativity and engagement.

Its transition to a fully operational Web3 infrastructure, along with an established early access user base, positions Off The Grid as a pioneer in decentralized shooters. It’s one of the most popular games today, even within the Web2 ecosystem, showing that blockchain integration can be an optional bonus rather than a barrier for players.

Forgotten Playland: rapid growth and social focus

Forgotten Playland debuted in late March and maintained high activity in April thanks to its free-to-play model and “Social Hub”:

• Free download on Epic Games Store: a social minigame title with over 20 game modes and interaction spaces, rated 4.4/5 on the store.
• Avalanche Community Game Night (April date): event hosted on the GamingOnAvax server, where developers joined live matches and answered player questions.
• Upcoming blockchain integration: plans to enable cosmetic NFTs and FP token on Beam (an Avalanche subnet), announced for future updates.

Its socially driven model and early spikes in player activity, along with community events on on-chain platforms, solidified its place within the party game genre. A major proof of its impact includes livestreams by Veguetta777, one of the most recognized gaming content creators.

Moreover, this game focuses more on gameplay than its economic model, making it more accessible to players seeking fun, with potential earnings as a bonus — not the main goal.

Parallel: expansion of the competitive scene

Parallel TCG strengthened its competitive ecosystem and expanded gameplay offerings throughout April:

Eclipse Protocol expansion release (April 10):

• Introduced 120 new cards with “dual-attribute” mechanics allowing unique strategic combinations.
• Added a new faction, “Novarius,” focused on board control and resource theft.

Parallel Prime League Season 2 Open II (April 26–28):

• 512 players registered — a 35% increase from Season 1.
• Swiss format over two days, followed by a top 16 single elimination bracket with $2,500 in prizes and league points.
• Peaked at 4,200 concurrent viewers on Twitch during the finals, boosting the game's competitive visibility.

Community initiatives:

• Weekly ladder with rewards in digital cards and PGT tokens.
• Invitational showmatches every Friday featuring creators and pro players.
• Active Discord channel with over 28,000 members sharing strategies and organizing quick games.

Mobile expansion:

• Continued beta for Android (Philippines), with plans to expand to iOS and more regions in May.
• Tester feedback: 92% satisfaction in performance and usability.

The combination of a major card expansion, an official league with more participants and viewers, and solid community engagement mechanisms positions Parallel as a Web3 TCG reference and supports its sustained growth.

Cambria: Gold Rush – Season 2

Cambria, with its Gold Rush: Season 2 – The Paymasters event, was without a doubt one of the most intense and exciting games of the month. This risk-and-reward onchain MMO attracted thousands of players venturing out of safe zones in search of loot, facing the real possibility of losing their entire inventory.

The two-week-long season in April surpassed $1 million in accumulated value, with 8,800+ active players, over 21,000 charters acquired, and improved mechanics such as wild zone PvP, exploration in dangerous regions, and special events like Dungeon Warfare and World Bosses.

Cambria combined strategy, adrenaline, and real economy with systems like Royal Favor, Energy Orbs, and Bribes — offering airdrops, NFTs, and entries for the upcoming land collection. Its integration with Abstract and Ronin made it even more accessible to various player profiles.
