| Will X Empire Become the New Hamster Kombat? |
Initially launched as “Musk Empire,” the game’s developers recently rebranded it to “X Empire.” This name change came with an upgrade that highlights the game’s various play modes and reduces reliance on Musk’s image.
X Empire, formerly known as Musk Empire, has recently captured the attention of millions as one of the latest and most engaging tap-to-earn games on Telegram.
Launched on July 4, the game has already attracted approximately 18 million users, making it a potential rival to Hamster Kombat. Both games share similarities in their mechanics but differ in their themes and features.
What Sets X Empire Apart?
X Empire stands out in the crowded world of tap-to-earn games by featuring a cartoonish image of Elon Musk, which players tap to accumulate in-game currency. However, it has not been confirmed whether the game is officially associated with the tech mogul.
Despite the rebranding, the core gameplay remains largely unchanged. Players start by tapping their avatars to earn in-game currency, which can then be used to generate passive income even when they are not actively playing.
The game also includes a variety of avatars, including premium options like Kim Kardashian and a muscular Doge, setting itself apart from other tap-to-earn games like Catizen and the popular Hamster Kombat.
Engaging Features and Upgrades
The Telegram-based game features a “City” tab, where players can engage in Rock-Paper-Scissors-style battles against others and invest in different stocks daily.
According to the game developers, these activities, while simple, add an element of risk and reward, making the gameplay more dynamic. Additionally, players can earn extra in-game cash through daily stock picks and solving riddles, providing more opportunities for engagement.
X Empire also comes with a feature that allows players to upgrade their accounts. In the game, players can spend their accumulated in-game currency to enhance attributes like ethics and leadership for their avatars or improve office settings for their virtual workforce.
These upgrades help generate passive income for up to three hours, after which players need to log back in to collect their earnings.
Anticipated Airdrop and Ecosystem Expansion
The excitement around X Empire extends beyond its gameplay. Like Hamster Kombat, the developers plan to reward users with airdrops for their support and contributions.
The developers have confirmed plans to distribute the entire token supply of X Empire to the community as part of the game’s broader ecosystem. However, the exact timeline for the airdrop distribution remains undisclosed, and the team has yet to reveal the name of the token to be shared with users.
Qualified players for the intended airdrop will be calculated based on various in-game achievements, such as the profit generated per hour through upgrades, total cash accumulated during gameplay, and the number of friends invited through referral links.
Future Developments and Partnerships
While the name of the token is yet to be disclosed, the team recently announced they will begin listing the digital asset on exchanges later this year, between September and October.
In addition to the listing, the team has recently secured a strategic partnership with Notcoin, another influential Telegram-based game that has been a driving force behind the tap-to-earn trend.
The deal will introduce special missions within X Empire for Notcoin players. On August 5, the developers teased players to expect more from the partnership with Notcoin.
