Hello ladies and gentlemen, it has been a heck of a week and lots of new events happening in the meantime but we’re working through it and I know we got this! For this week’s medium, we have our monthly development report for January :0)
But before we delve in, there are a few housekeeping items to discuss. Firstly, for those who’ve been tirelessly climbing the PvE leaderboard and have successfully collected S2.R Apostle Tickets from our Wednesday Game Night, Thursday Battle Party, and through the LoreKeeper Sunday AMA, remember you have until Feb 15th to reserve your Apostles! This allows you to mint them into a random S2.R Apostle (featuring random IVs). The final day to mint your Apostle will align sometime with the TGE release. More info here.
Secondly, let me remind you of our new token launch — Apeiros ($APRS), is just around the corner. Note that players will be able to earn Airdrop Points that will entitle them to $ANIMA when S3 goes live. To learn more about $APRS TGE, do read this article here!!
Thirdly, the Arena-NFT integration testing phase, running from February 1st to February 9th, is concluding at 12:00am UTC. For the doods who have reached Platinum or above, as an additional token of goodwill, we’re presenting you with a red packet of special goodies! 🧧🏮
Finally, the Apeiron PvE Dungeon Demo, currently available on the Epic Game Store, is going to officially retire on February 15th. This means you have one week left to find-merge-mint those perfect Apostles who will become your companions when you begin your adventure in the godiverse… and help you out during your PvP brawls! (wink)
Alright, we’re all caught up. Now, let’s shift our focus and move on to the exciting matter at hand — VITE VITE!

Unfolding Events
Major moments this month! Let’s talk about them. Firstly, we are stepping further into another milestone of Apeiron, and progressing to Phase 2 of our PvP testing. For those who wish to participate, please sign up here and get ready for the update on February 9th. This version will FINALLY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MILLENNIUM allow our players to playtest on mobile and use their collected NFTs within our SEA, US, and EU servers!
To accompany this crazy highlight, this is of course a call for our Phase 2 PvP Leaderboard which will begin from Feb 9th and run until Feb 23rd. Be prepared for more fortune and a lot more red packets up for grabs in the upcoming leaderboard! Besides new rewards, there will be a fresh round of Airdrop Points and what you previously earned will also be counted. Be sure to stay alert — more information will be available on our Discord channel on Feb 9th.
Secondly, in an effort to attract more global players to our brand new servers, and of course, to our upcoming $APRS token launch, we are hosting various fun and engaging events to promote Apeiron. As a result, we’re delighted to announce two exciting events in our community: the 10K Apeiron Creator Challenger and the 30K Apeiron x TALON Nova Tournament. We’re proud to share that the latter event is brought to you in collaboration with our new partner, TALON Esports, a renowned esports team in the Asia Pacific.
It is precisely because we are feeling the doody kindness from you guys during our migration to the Ronin blockchain that we decided to host these two exciting events. Our goal here is to give back to the community and our loyal Apeiron players but ALSO to promote Apeiron PvP more broadly so that more players can join in the fun!! 👾 🎮
We want to reward those who spread the good word out about Apeiron, focusing especially on our PvP mode! It is always amazing watching you guys partake in head-butting brawls, reminding us of how much fun our players are having. If you think you have what it takes to create engaging content for Apeiron, make sure to review this article here for more information and details about exciting rewards!!
Growing Strong
Ever since migrating to the Ronin blockchain, we’ve welcomed an impressive amount of new players to Apeiron, effectively DOUBLING our current community size and reaching our first 100k unique wallets on Ronin. Moreover, since PvP became available for testing, a number of whales have seized the opportunity and purchased our coveted, playable NFTs. We want to take a moment to thank each of you for your continued support and give you new players a big doody welcome. We are very excited to be showing our new godlings the ways of the divine and how to be successful in the game. ⭐️
With a rapid increase in top player competition, our overseers are working hard at restructuring the community rewards programs. The goal of this revamp aims to offer more to those who make it to the higher tiers of the ranked ladder. One of the modifications to rewards include giving out more mini black holes (mBHs)! Wondering where mBHs rewards fit in? During the PvP Phase 2 Leaderboard (Feb 9- Feb 23), we will be distributing Lunar New Year goodies to all players who reach Platinum IV or above. The higher rank you climb, the more goodies you can expect to receive! Similarly, owning a higher tier planet also increases your potential rewards. So why the wait? Start grinding!!
We’re also shifting from Doodelic Wings and S2R Apostle Ticket NFTs (Rogue, Mage, Guardian classes) to S2 Apostle Ticket NFTs with a focus on Priest, Hunter, and Warrior classes.
That’s about it now. But stay tuned to our official Discord announcements to learn more about other rewards from this channel.

Orbiting together
Invite someone to orbit with you!
Thanks to our Web 3 team, now you can invite friends to orbit together with you on the Orbital Tracks page. In case you’re new to Apeiron and need some guidance, you can add your Planet NFTs to the Orbital Tracks of your Star NFTs, increasing their aging speed and buffing them to become Planets that are stronger, better, and more valuable.
If you would like to purchase some Star NFTs, visit our Marketplace. Now, why not gather with your friends with a bonfire, but replace the bonfire with a sun instead? That’s really cool if you think about it…or I should say, as hot as the burning suns.
Upcoming Features
For the past months, we’ve been testing PvP mode internally and also for KOLs and our loyal players. We’ve also been working on a number of other features, including a new tutorial among other things. Are you ready to talk to some new characters? We’d love to give you more details, but if we did, all the doods in the universe would try to stop us. So we won’t say anything else…for now.
Which planet should I buy? Hm…
Easier Skill-Casting
Our game team and game design team have always been working on improving player experience in both PvE and PvP, and recently, besides game balancing, they’re coming up with a new feature. The hot-key skill casting system is going into the PvP pre-release version of our game, so that godlings can cast skills and command their doods with reduced effort. It helps you to cast skills with just one button, and it will automatically aim at targets. This will help a lot of godlings who struggle with the overwhelming real-time battles in Apeiron, but even if you’re a competitive player and feeling lazy, you should try out the new function!
Vivid Story and Characters
Of course, we’d never forget developing our lore and story! We want to present a truly exciting and meaningful story in the beta release, therefore the writing team and the art team have been collaborating to work on it for months, and it’s currently in the stage of fine-tuning! Once the script and animations are all settled, we’ll pass it on to the programmers and import them into the game.
Doods! Doods?
Besides, the art team is currently working on the design of different elemental realms. If you haven’t read our stories depicting the elemental realms in Axis Mundi, here they are — Protea’s realm, Lark’s realm, and Flameo’s realm! For Clintina’s realm, our doods are currently searching for it in the overgrown forests. If you wonder what they’d look like, stay tuned!
That’s all for this month! We’re just as excited as you waiting for the PvP pre-release and beta release to be out, and we promise to present the best we have for you. If you would like to discuss more about PvP contents or give us feedback, join our official Discord! We would love to hear your thoughts. Besides, follow our Twitter for our latest announcements!
See ya next time, godlings ~
