Open Loot Reshapes Its Future with Major Game Departures

A Bold New Direction for Open Loot

Open Loot has announced a significant shift in its strategy, one that will reshape its ecosystem and impact several partner titles. As of September 25, the web3 gaming platform revealed that Boss Fighters, Shatterpoint, The Desolation, and Kokodi will be leaving. Each studio will handle its own migration, while players will still be able to withdraw their assets during the transition.

This move signals Open Loot’s intent to double down on internal game development and more selective partnerships. For players who’ve invested time and money in the ecosystem, this is both a shakeup and a chance to see how the platform evolves from here.

Why the Strategic Shift Matters

Since its launch in 2020, Open Loot has positioned itself as a leading hub in the world of blockchain games, combining player-owned economies with accessible gameplay. Its biggest success story, Big Time, tells the tale:

• $467 million rewarded to players

• 4.3 million gameplay hours in the past year

• 7.8 million in-game items created

Not all projects reached this level of success, though. In its update, Open Loot admitted that some titles failed to launch properly or maintain long-term engagement. With web3 still being a high-risk, high-reward space, the team has chosen to narrow its focus to projects with stronger momentum and community backing.

What’s Next: Open Loot’s Internal Projects

To fill the gap left by departing partners, Open Loot is already developing its own in-house titles. While details are scarce, here’s what’s confirmed so far:

• A mobile pet-collecting game connected to the Big Time universe

• A competitive strategy game designed for mobile and browser play

Though no release dates have been announced, these games highlight Open Loot’s ambition to diversify its portfolio while maintaining strong ties to Big Time.

Rewarding Player Loyalty with Credits

In a move to keep its community engaged, Open Loot introduced a discount credit program worth $2.9 million. Here’s how it works:

• Players who made purchases between August 24, 2023, and September 22, 2025, in titles other than Big Time, will receive credits.

• Credits can cover up to 25% of primary purchases in Big Time when using the $OL token.

• Example: A $100 item can be purchased for $75, using $25 worth of credits.

These credits will also extend to future Open Loot games, ensuring ongoing value for players who invested in now-departing titles.

Keeping NFTs Relevant in the Ecosystem

One of the biggest concerns in blockchain gaming is long-term NFT utility. Open Loot addressed this by confirming that all upcoming titles will include utility for Big Time NFTs, keeping those digital assets relevant and rewarding long-term supporters of the platform.

Four Games Leaving the Platform

The departure of four titles is a big moment for Open Loot. Here’s what players of each game need to know:

Boss Fighters

• Migration begins October 4, 2025

• Playable via Steam and Meta Quest after leaving Open Loot

• NFT balances won’t sync, but assets will remain until November 4 snapshot

• Studios will reissue NFTs and tokens after the snapshot

• Metamask wallet connection required for asset transfers

Shatterpoint

• The mobile MOBA is moving to a new blockchain ecosystem

• Season 2 delayed by about 2 months

• Snapshot will be taken at the end of Season 1

• Roadmap update promised with new partners and an upgraded Season 3

The Desolation

• Studio claims the termination was unexpected

• Proxy token launch delayed

• Players urged to transfer NFTs to personal wallets

• New roadmap and technical solutions to be revealed in October

• Still targeting global release on iOS and Android

Kokodi

• No official transition plan announced yet

• Players advised to secure digital assets and await further updates

  
  

What Is Open Loot?

For newcomers, Open Loot is more than just a launcher. It’s a web3 gaming infrastructure developed by Big Time Studios, offering:

• Wallet solutions with zero gas fees via its patented Vault technology

• Marketplace tools for NFTs and rentals

• Support for fiat and crypto payments

• $OL token integration for rewards and discounts

Originally built around Big Time, Open Loot expanded to include multiple titles, but is now returning to a more focused vision.

What Players Should Do Next

If you’re a player of the departing titles, here are your next steps:

1. Follow studio announcements for each game’s migration plan.

2. Withdraw assets early and move them into personal wallets when possible.

3. Check eligibility for the Open Loot credit program.

4. Stay updated on Open Loot’s future titles for new opportunities to use your NFTs and credits.

   
   

The Road Ahead

Open Loot’s pivot may feel like a setback to some, but it’s also a clear commitment to quality over quantity. By focusing on Big Time, rewarding its loyal community, and building new titles internally, the platform is positioning itself for a stronger long-term presence in the competitive world of blockchain games.

For players, the message is clear: while the ecosystem is changing, opportunities for digital ownership and cross-game NFT utility remain very much alive.
