Hamster Kombat, the tap-to-earn sensation that registered over 300 million active users on its platform, has offered new insight regarding the project’s future. The Telegram-distributed game wants to expand its scope and escape the messaging platform’s ecosystem, jumping to other platforms to dig into previously untapped markets.

This seems to be the primary objective of the game founders after the criticized token generation and distribution event last month, described by some as the “worst airdrop in history.” This is due to the different valuations that the project gave different activities, leaving users receiving low values for their participation. Implementing an anti-cheat mechanism that affected some players also worsened the project’s reputation on social media.

Nonetheless, the platform recently announced the theme of its second season, which will put players in the role of a gaming company CEO. These new themes are related to the company’s objectives described in its post-airdrop updated roadmap.

In a recent interview, the game’s founders stated:

In season 2, which is launching very soon, we’ll continue integrating the Hamster Kombat metagame with third-party games, bridging both Web2 and Web3.

This aims to achieve two different objectives: to include Hamster Kombat and presumably HMSTR into other desktop-based or online games, and to achieve a common item ecosystem, allowing for seamless item transfers between several experiences.

For this, Hamster Kombat stated that the team had different revenue sources besides the reserved HMSTR allocation destined for partnerships and grants, including income from their advertising business. Hamster Kombat has rejected outside investors before, and stated that they will “only reward top industry players who can help boost and enhance the hamster ecosystem.”

However, HMSTR has been experiencing a steep decline since its distribution started, shedding over 50% of its initial value, which might indicate that players are losing interest in the game.

Writers’ take: Getting the gamers’ attention after a somewhat disappointing airdrop preceded by an increase in HMSTR market cap and disappointing distribution numbers will prove difficult for Hamster Kombat’s team. However, expanding its scope to other platforms and evolving from what was only a tap-to-earn game is the right choice if it wants to maintain its relevance in the crowded crypto meme coin and game-to-earn market.
