The next stage of Origins: Season 2 is coming, and will distribute Mystic-level items. After a maintenance period on Wednesday, February 1, players will get another round of valuable rewards. 

Origins Season 2 started with Rare and Epic items, adding to the end-of-season AXS reward. The items earned during the active season are an attempt to replace the value of SLP tokens, which are not as viable as during the peak period of Axie Infinity Classic.

Axie Infinity is also trying to rebuild engagement through a series of mini-contests and e-sports events. The other source of growth remain the mini-games, as Sky Mavis has opened its Lunacia world and Axie characters for use in third-party products. 

A new NFT feature is in the works, with the potential to place an offer for Axies that are not listed on the marketplace. The time-limited offer can connect players and activate previously idle Axies with in-demand features. 

For those that want to swap their Axies for other rewards, a mass-release feature is now active, to save time on rearranging players’ NFT portfolios. Axis can be re-bought for as low as $5, and there is a mass challenge to go up the ranks and share in the end of season AXS reward.

Axie Homeland will continue to develop with many new surprises in 2023. A dungeon mini-game is also in the making, to be added to the success of Raylight and other mini-projects.
