In the ever-evolving world of tap-to-earn games on Telegram, a new contender has emerged with significant potential to rival the popular Hamster Kombat. Initially launched as “Musk Empire”, the game has recently undergone a rebranding to “X Empire”. This name change, accompanied by an upgrade, highlights the game’s various play modes and reduces its reliance on Elon Musk's image. With approximately 18 million users since its launch on July 4, X Empire is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the gaming community.
X Empire distinguishes itself in the bustling tap-to-earn gaming market by initially featuring a cartoon-like image of Elon Musk, which players tap to earn in-game currency. Though it remains unclear if the game is officially linked to Musk, the recent rebranding to "X Empire" has preserved its core gameplay while adding new play modes and reducing the focus on Musk's image.
Despite the rebranding, the fundamental gameplay remains mostly the same. Players tap their avatars to earn in-game currency, which can be used to generate passive income even when they are not actively playing. The game offers a range of avatars, including premium options like Kim Kardashian and a muscular Doge, setting it apart from other tap-to-earn games such as Catizen and the widely popular Hamster Kombat.
X Empire’s Telegram-based platform boasts several captivating features designed to keep players engaged. The "City" tab offers Rock-Paper-Scissors-style battles and daily stock investments, infusing the gameplay with risk and reward dynamics. Additionally, players can boost their in-game earnings by engaging in daily stock picks and solving riddles, significantly enhancing overall player engagement.
Players can also upgrade their accounts using accumulated in-game currency to improve attributes like ethics and leadership for their avatars or enhance office settings for their virtual workforce. These upgrades generate passive income for up to three hours, requiring players to log back in to collect their earnings, thus keeping the gameplay continually interactive.
The buzz surrounding X Empire goes beyond its engaging gameplay. Much like Hamster Kombat, the developers intend to reward players with airdrops in recognition of their support and contributions. The entire token supply of X Empire will be allocated to the community as a key component of the game’s broader ecosystem. However, the exact schedule for the airdrop distribution is still under wraps, and the team has not yet disclosed the name of the token to be issued to users.
Players eligible for the upcoming airdrop will be determined by their in-game achievements. This includes the profit they've generated per hour through upgrades, the total cash they've accumulated during gameplay, and the number of friends they've invited through referral links.
While the name of the token is yet to be disclosed, the team has announced plans to begin listing the digital asset on exchanges later this year, between September and October. In addition to the listing, the team has secured a strategic partnership with Notcoin, another influential Telegram-based game that has been a driving force behind the tap-to-earn trend. This collaboration will bring special missions to X Empire specifically for Notcoin players.
On August 5, the developers teased players to expect more from the partnership with Notcoin, indicating that exciting developments are on the horizon.
X Empire, formerly known as Musk Empire, has rapidly gained traction in the tap-to-earn gaming community on Telegram. With its engaging features, strategic upgrades, and anticipated ecosystem expansion, X Empire has the potential to become the new Hamster Kombat. As the game continues to evolve and attract more users, it will be interesting to see how it shapes the future of tap-to-earn gaming.
