Now that we've entered the "Final Era" let's see how the marketplace reacted to these balance changes.
Spoiler Alert: There are more balanced sales at 🟰 prices! 🚀😍
In Season 2, the concept of Eras was introduced. Now the opportunities to breed pets and participate in battles depend on the status of the ongoing era — Rare, Epic, Mythic or Final.
According to statistics shared with VicTree's audience, four classes of in-game creatures dropped in price: Beasts, Bugs, Mechs and Plants. For instance, Plants lost almost 50% of its price.
By contrast, Birds, Dawns, Dusks and Reptiles become more expensive. Dusks' price jumped from $8 to $13, gaining almost 65% compared to Season 1.
Season 2 of Axie Origins started with a massive promo campaign on Jan. 11, 2023. So far, four epochs ("Eras") are completed successfully.
AXS price up 38% as Season 2 gains traction
The only class of in-game creatures that is not affected by the Season 2 release is Aquas. VicTree is going to analyze Mythic and Final eras' tokenomics in coming weeks.
After having a terrible year of 2022, Axie Infinity (AXS) is among the best performers in the mid-caps segment in 2023. In 23 days (Jan. 1-Jan. 23), the price spiked from $5.99 to over $13.68, gaining more than 100%.
That said, on Jan. 23, 2023, the AXS token price printed a five-month high.
Together with The Sandbox (SAND), Axie Infinity (AXS) was the most hyped Play-to-Earn platform of the 2020-2021 bullish rally. However, as the interest in crypto vanished, its tokenomics also collapsed.
