Telegram game Hamster Kombat is once again back with the debut of its Season 2 offering a new gameplay experience. The project developers have undertaken a novel approach of “HamsterVerse” that will unlock valuable rewards across all projects within Season 2.

As per the previous schedule, Season 2 was supposed to debut a couple of weeks after the token airdrop, however, faced multiple delays. But at the end of 2024, the Hamster Kombat development team announced its plan to launch a “HamsterVerse” of interconnected games rather than releasing the previously teased next season.

Headlined as Hamster Kombat: GameDev Hero, the HamsterVerse has finally arrived, as a continuation of the franchise previously teased as Season 2. This new installment maintains the tap-to-earn feature along with introducing a team-building element wherein the players assemble a squad of developers in order to create games and enhance their earnings potential.

Additionally, Hamster Fight Club, a straightforward combat game, is now accessible through the HamsterVerse mini-app launcher on Telegram. Meanwhile, two more titles — Hamster Boost and Hamster King — are currently in closed beta testing.

This conclusion of the extended “interlude” season of Hamster Kombat marks the beginning of a new chapter for the players. Rewards earned during this simplified interim season, based on diamonds collected, will carry over to the next wave of HamsterVerse games.

Interlude is over – long live HamsterVerse! 🚀

All games in the HamsterVerse ecosystem are designed to offer HMSTR token HMSTR $0.00173 24h volatility: 6.0% Market cap: $111.32 M Vol. 24h: $16.47 M rewards, expanding the utility and earning potential for players across the platform.

Amid the delay in the project’s launch, Hamster Kombat’s native token HMSTR has collapsed by 83% over the past year, hitting the low of $0.015 earlier this month. However, following this development, the token is showing partial recovery up 4% in the last 24 hours moving to $0.001633. As per the CoinGlass data, the HMSTR open interest has also surged 4.5% to more than $11.40 million.

Last year, Hamster Kombat garnered massive attention, attracting over 300 million players as the Telegram-based tap-to-earn game surged into mainstream popularity. However, the excitement quickly faded following the debut of its native token.

Approximately 130 million players qualified for the token airdrop, but many expressed disappointment, describing their allocations as “dust” due to smaller-than-anticipated rewards. This dissatisfaction appears to have contributed to a sharp drop in engagement. The Telegram mini-app now reports only 12 million monthly players — a significant decline from last year’s peak.
