2025 was one of the most important years in the history of Alien Worlds. From launch, the goal has always been to give increasing control to the community. This year showed how far that vision has come as players expanded the metaverse through games, governance, tools, lore, and new ways to earn Trilium.
With an average of more than 90,000 daily active accounts in 2025, Alien Worlds remained one of the most active decentralized ecosystems, driven by community builders, creators, and DAOs.
Community-Created Games Defined the Year
Milky Way Miner
Weekly tournaments grew significantly this year, offering Trilium rewards to all participants. Players staked Alien Worlds NFTs, competed in skill-based mining challenges, and progressed across a polished 2D platformer. Permanent boosts were removed to keep gameplay fair and balanced.
Mercenary Battlegrounds
This strategy title combined tower defense, auto-battler, and tactical mechanics. Staking crew.worlds NFTs unlocked Alien Worlds themed towers, and players battled through six weeks of tournaments supported by Trilium rewards.
Mayhem: Alien Worlds
A turn-based mobile shooter inspired by classic tactics games. Players selected their preferred race, used specialized abilities, and submitted kill shots during playtesting rounds that rewarded participation and helped refine gameplay.
Mission Control
A community-built platform that provided mining analytics, land insights, NFT tracking, and performance dashboards. Players used it daily to optimize strategy across the Alien Worlds economy.
Outlaw Troopers
A long-running community-created NFT game on WAX where players deploy Troopers in Encounters to earn FGL tokens and climb seasonal leaderboards. Players run Missions to collect virtual credits, gears, ore, and other resources used across the FGL ecosystem. Outlaw Troopers also introduced cooperative battles against the Orbatroid, where players can team up and compete for a share of Trilium rewards. New events and tournaments are announced through Alien Worlds socials.
Minecrafters
A Magor Union community project that combines the Minecraft experience with Alien Worlds themed gameplay. Players explore the server, complete quests, build structures, and interact with custom features inspired by the six planets. By staking Alien Worlds NFTs, players unlock progression paths and can earn Trilium through in-game activities and event participation.
Eyeke Embassy
One of the most active hubs of 2025. With expanded support through Galactic Hubs, the Eyeke Embassy introduced new Legendary and Mythic Mechs, increased mining and staking rewards, and released monthly one-of-one Mechs inspired by each Alien Worlds race. More than 25,000 NFTs were burned through blends during the event.
Planetary Defense
A strategic community-created game set on Magor where players defend land, launch coordinated attacks, and manage NFTs in real time. Landowners build defenses while mercenaries join raids or protect territories. Players face PvE threats and PvP battles, complete missions, and earn Planetary Defense Tokens. Progression comes from upgrading armies, increasing vote power, improving chests, and climbing the leaderboard.
Meta Battler
A community-built rogue-like deck-building strategy game that lets players use digital collectibles from across the WAX ecosystem, including Funkos and custom NFTs. Attributes are assigned automatically, allowing a wide range of items to become playable cards. Upcoming updates include streamer PvP, roguelike campaigns, NFT loot, and an economy powered by MBP. Players build decks, battle through encounters, unlock rewards, and experiment with new strategies shaped alongside the community.
Decentralization Became More Visible
Alien Worlds continued progressing toward a community-directed structure where players guide development, resource distribution, and planetary governance.
Union DAOs Gained Greater Control Over Mining Rewards
Union DAOs can now direct up to 25 percent of their mining reward pool toward community initiatives. This expanded authority allows players to fund tools, games, events, and creative work within their planets.
Election Cycle Adjustments
Planets gained the ability to adjust their own election time frames, giving each community the flexibility to match governance to its activity and needs.
Control Over Custodian Count
DAOs gained authority over the number of custodians for their planet. This lets each Syndicate establish the structure that fits its voters and builders.
