There are old projects and new faces. An inventory of the current popular chain game projects.

From the end of October until now, blockchain gaming projects have been one of the main focuses in the NFT market. Whether in the Chinese-speaking or English-speaking communities, more and more blockchain gaming projects are gaining attention and performing well in the market.

Among them, there are old projects that have "iron trees blooming" after a long period of precipitation, and new projects that have just been born. Unlike the chain game market that was ignited by Wolf Game at the end of 21, the currently popular projects almost conform to the standards of traditional games. Two years have passed, and we can see that the market's standards for projects are constantly improving, and the sincerity of project parties is also increasing, which is a progress that we all welcome.
