Raini Studios Announces Sunset of Avalanche NFT Card-Battler Game
Raini Studios made waves in the crypto gaming world when it announced the upcoming shutdown of its popular Avalanche NFT card-battler game, Raini: The Lords of Light. The game, which will officially sunset on July 21, 2025, has been a staple in the competitive gaming scene, drawing players in with its unique gameplay and collectible NFT cards.
In a recent announcement, Raini Studios revealed that they will be paying out 2 million in RST token rewards for June and July before the game’s permanent closure. This decision comes as a surprise to many fans of the game, who have enjoyed the fantasy-themed battles and quirky crypto references that have made Raini: The Lords of Light a standout title in the genre.
Originally launching on the Ethereum blockchain in 2021, Raini Studios later made the move to Avalanche and issued additional NFTs on the platform. The studio’s RST token, which was issued on the gaming-centric Avalanche L1 chain Beam, has been a key component of the game’s ecosystem, providing rewards and incentives for players.
Despite the success of Raini: The Lords of Light, the studio has decided to shift its focus to two new action-oriented games, Lucha Throwdown and Uncaged: The Jon Jones Brawler. These upcoming titles promise to deliver exciting gameplay experiences for players looking for new challenges and adventures in the gaming world.
In addition to the game shutdown, Raini Studios has also announced a shift in tokenomics to a deflationary model. This new approach will involve buying and burning RST tokens using a percentage of studio revenue, as well as implementing a transaction tax to further reduce the token supply. The studio hopes that these changes will lead to a brighter future for RST and pave the way for new opportunities in the gaming industry.
As players and fans bid farewell to Raini: The Lords of Light, they can look forward to the exciting developments that lie ahead for Raini Studios. With new games on the horizon and a fresh approach to tokenomics, the studio is poised to make a splash in the gaming world and continue to innovate in the crypto gaming space.
Despite the closure of Raini: The Lords of Light, RST has seen a 14% increase in price on the day, signaling positive momentum for the token. While it may be down from its peak price in March 2024, the future looks bright for RST and Raini Studios as they embark on a new chapter in the world of crypto gaming.
