“Our collaboration with Sky Mavis isn’t just about migration; it’s a deep-rooted partnership that blends their Web3 expertise with our specialization for crafting standalone IP-based titles. We’re thrilled to deliver fresh and unique content experiences to the Axie Infinity community,” he added.

In September, the open-world MMORPG game Pixels also migrated to Ronin. The transition enabled the game to take advantage of lower gas fees, go-to-market and advisory support from the developer’s team members, and the use of Mavis Hub, Ronin’s distribution platform for web3 games.

In July, Sky Mavis partnered with CyberKongz, an Ethereum-based NFT project, to launch the Genkai collection on Ronin’s NFT marketplace. The Genkai collection, inspired by anime art, consisted of 20,000 non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with 4,000 minted on the Ronin blockchain and 16,000 on the Ethereum mainnet.

Moreover, Sky Mavis also launched Mavis Market, an NFT marketplace, last May. Users can now buy, sell, and showcase NFTs on the platform, which is powered by Ronin. Prior to this, in late 2022, the developer launched the alpha build of Axie Infinity: Homeland for all owners of its Land NFTs.
