Details of the Axie Infinity PVP Arena Season 21
Season 21 will run from the 25th of April to the 24th of June 2022. More so, Axie Infinity intends to end the classic with significant strides. As such, it is increasing the prize pool to a whopping 130,171.90 AXS. At the current rate of $45 per one AXS token, this amounts to $5,857,736.
Besides the earnings of winners, there will also be other significant changes. They include the following:
- There will be an increase in the number of players to receive rewards this season. 300,000 players to be exact.
- Despite the increase of players on the leaderboard, the winners will even earn more prizes compared to other seasons. For example, the user who finishes in the first position will earn 500 AXS. Which is double the regular amount.
When issuing the update, the game reinstated its desire to ensure that gameplay remains competitive. As such, there will be a steady increase in the AXS prizes over time. More so, this will occur simultaneously with patches and upgrades coming to the Origin ecosystem.
