Life Beyond, Outer Ring, Civitas and more... | Play-to-Earn #129
While the global economy and the crypto market are still suffering, game development teams keep building, and this week, we took a look at a few promising upcoming projects.
Life Beyond, a space MMO backed by Animoca Brands is about to release its open beta and just announced its first NFT sale.
Outer Ring, another space-themed MMO is also having its first NFT sale as we write this newsletter.
We also take a look at Civitas, a project in its earlier stages but with great potential and an original sub-DAO organization.

Until next week, have fun, stay safe out there and see you guys soon on Discord, YouTube, Twitter… or in the Metaverse!
