    1. Overview of the game NFT market

    As major projects demonstrate stable growth, the NFT game market is attracting significant attention from the community. Notably, the Bigtime project has just reached a price of 0.28 and is poised to break its previous all-time high of 0.3. Additionally, recent NFT game projects have also shown remarkable growth, including:

    • Blockgame: 0.2→0.75E
    • Raw Pass: 0.11→0.4E
    • Weboox: 0.2→0.6E
    • Shrapnel: 0.15→0.22E
    • Yogapet: 0.2→0.8E
    • Kubz: 0.2→0.4E
    • Mittaria: 0.2→0.6E
    • The Grapes: 1,5E→4E
    • pARticle: 0.09→0.15E

    This indicates that the allure of NFT games is growing stronger within the community. However, It’s not always easy to find a buying point you’re comfortable with, these projects is quite challenging as NFT prices have surged and continuously broken all-time highs. Investing further in these projects is extremely difficult. Therefore, I will compile a list of the latest NFT game projects where you can look for whitelist spots to mint at a better price.

    2. The most potential NFT game projects

    2.1. Overworld

    Overworld is an NFT game project developed by the Xterio team, and it is considered the most promising NFT game project on this platform. Xterio has raised a substantial investment of around $55 million, with participation from major investors such as Binance Labs, Funplus, Makers Fund, and Animoca Brands.

    The CEO of Xterio and Overworld is Jeremy Horn, who is also a member of the development team at Funplus. Therefore, it is highly likely that both of these projects are products of Funplus.

    Furthermore, on the OTC market, the whitelist spots for the project are currently trading in the range of $900 to $1,000 for the guaranteed NFT mint allocation.

    Moreover, the project has announced plans to airdrop tokens for NFT holders. The airdrop expected to take place in Q1 of 2024. The potential of the Overworld project appears to be extremely promising. Therefore, you may consider acquiring whitelist spots for the project before the minting phase begins on December 15th.

    To earn whitelist spots, you can participate in completing quests on the project's platform and strive to rank high on the leaderboard to earn more credits. You can join the quests [here].

    2.2. Champions Tactics

    Champions Tactics is an NFT game project developed by Ubisoft. As this project is developed directly by Ubisoft, its potential is incredibly significant. Additionally, the project has announced that its NFT minting phase will be free for participants.

    The project has received backing by major studios in the traditional market, and with the free minting phase, it is certain to drive significant growth in NFT prices once the minting phase ends. This scenario is quite similar to the Sugartown project, where Zynga minted Oras NFTs.

    In the current gaming market, more and more traditional studios are joining in, along with high-quality products, which are contributing to a significant influx of capital into the market. Currently, the project has opened its public Discord channel, where you can participate [here].

    Users can join project-organized events on Discord to win Private Mint spots. Currently, there is a sticker creation event ending on December 4th.

    2.3. Poglin

    Poglin is a PFP (Profile Picture) NFT project with its main products including games, anime, and physical merchandise. The project has recently announced collaborations with Opensea and Animoca Brands for its development.

    Furthermore, the project team has several years of experience in game and anime development, with involvement in projects such as Sonic Dash, Disney Tsum Tsum, and Transformers Earth Wars.

    Although Poglin may not have the same potential as those aforementioned projects, it is still in the early stages of development. Additionally, the ability to secure whitelist spots may be easier compared to the other two projects. Currently, on the OTC market, whitelist spots for the project are trading at around $160. This price indicates that the project holds significant potential in the near future.

    Currently, the project is still in its early stages, and there is no information available regarding NFT minting or the minting timeframe. Therefore, there is still potential to secure whitelist spots. You can try to acquire whitelist spots through collaboration activities with other NFT communities on pre-mint platforms.

    2.4. Taproot Wizard

    Taproot Wizard is an Ordinal NFT project that will be launched on the Bitcoin network. It is also the first NFT project on the Bitcoin network to receive investment from investment funds.

    The project is based on meme about Wizards aimed at building a community on the BTC network, which is quite novel and is generating attraction on Twitter. Currently, the project has just been launched, so there is a considerable opportunity to earn whitelist slots. People can hunt for project WL slots on the project's Discord and Twitter.

    However, since this can be considered a meme project, people need to carefully consider during the NFT minting phase if the price is too high because aside from the mint price, the BTC network also has a high mint fee factor.

    2.5. Shardbound

    Shardbound is the first NFT game project to apply Immutable X's zkevm technology, and it is also directly backed by IMX, so the project's future potential is extremely promising. Additionally, the project has its Alpha product, and players participating in the testing phase have rated it highly for its strategic gameplay elements.

    At present, information about the project is quite limited and early, making it a good time to sign up for the project's testing phase while also having the opportunity to earn upcoming project NFT mint slots. You can register for the Pre-Alpha phase here.

    The project has received a $7.5 million investment with the participation of major investors in the market such as RW3 Ventures, Bitkraft Ventures, Sfermion,....

    2.6. Caliverse

    Caliverse is a Metaverse project in the Lotte ecosystem, led by DK KIM. Additionally, most of the project's partners originate from major investment funds in South Korea, including well-known entities such as Lotte, Hyundai, Kia, 7-Eleven,..

    Most of these are traditional market investment funds and not particularly strong in the Web3 market. However, this still presents a potential project opening for the entry of traditional funds in South Korea.

    According to the roadmap, the project is scheduled to launch the Private Sale Land in Q3 2023. However, the sale has not yet taken place, providing an opportunity to earn NFT mint slots from the project. Additionally, the project has announced it will mint Free NFT PFPs, presenting a significant opportunity to hunt for whitelist slots
