'The Walking Dead' Ethereum NFT Game Is About to Be Killed Off
Summary
The Walking Dead: Empires, a multiplayer survival game based on the TV show, will be shut down after July 31, 2025, as announced by Gala Games. The game, which utilized Ethereum NFTs, was in open beta for a year and allowed players to craft weapons, build bases, and combat zombies. NFT items in the game were indestructible, with some assets previously selling for high prices, such as $67,000 for land deeds. As the shutdown approaches, NFTs will become useless. Gala Games plans to compensate NFT holders with new NFTs from its ecosystem that offer equal functionality. Reactions to the announcement have been negative, with some users expressing dissatisfaction over the perceived value of the compensation.
