📅05.25 - 06.01
🟥1. The Beacon Season 1 goes live today, with a $7.7M $BCN reward pool opening for Goblin’s Gambit, distributing over $7.7M in $BCN as in-game rewards.
🟥2. Ubisoft Champions Tactics to freeze Web3 features on May 27
Ubisoft has announced a gradual shift of Champions Tactics towards Web2 gaming. Starting May 27, the wallet functionality will be frozen, the Forge and Marketplace will close, and on-chain assets will be replicated as in-game Web2 assets based on a snapshot.
🟥3. Wodo Gaming and other game-related tokens face unlocking pressure this week
CryptoRank data shows that Wodo Gaming’s $XWGT will unlock about 818,700 tokens on May 25, representing approximately 5.65% of its market cap; GameOn Forge’s $GO4 is also scheduled for unlocking on the same date. Smaller cap gaming tokens are more sensitive to liquidity and short-term volatility when unlocking occurs.
🟥4. Funding situation: Gaming financing remains sluggish, top companies turning to buybacks, listings, and mergers
Recent public data shows no significant VC funding for blockchain games this week; PANews/Deep Tide's compilation of crypto financing data from January 1 to May 6, 2026, indicates that the payments and consumption sector has absorbed 72% of the funds, while gaming and DePIN financing has “nearly disappeared.” Notably, Nexpace is pursuing buybacks, Animoca is advancing a reverse merger with Nasdaq, and Fenris/EVE has secured strategic investment from DeepMind, highlighting alternative capital paths.
