Avax.network — 'Pixelmon' to Launch 'Warden's Ascent' RPG and Idle Mobile Games on Avalanche

Pixelmon, the Pokémon-inspired crypto game IP, has signed an exclusive partnership with Avalanche to launch its upcoming flagship mobile RPG Warden’s Ascent. After a turbulent 2022 debut and a leadership overhaul, Pixelmon has rebranded with a mobile-first strategy, preparing several new games for rollout.

Key Ideas

Strategic Shift and Avalanche Partnership: Pixelmon is shifting all future game development—including Warden’s Ascent, Nova Thera Chronicles, and Warriors of Nova Thera—to Avalanche for better scalability, performance, and governance, while legacy titles remain on Ethereum and Immutable.
Redemption Arc and Growth: Following its notorious NFT flop, Pixelmon has rebounded with multiple game launches, an $8M fundraise, and a roadmap centered on long-term engagement and quality gameplay.
Why Avalanche: Avalanche’s infrastructure and proven gaming success (e.g., Off the Grid, MapleStory Universe) convinced Pixelmon it was the ideal platform to scale its vision and onboard millions of players globally.
