The Desolation Leaves Open Loot
Partnership ends abruptly
Stratosphere Games says Open Loot ended the partnership without advance notice. The studio was mid-development on a sensor update and preparing to launch a proxy token when the split happened. The team is now looking for new partners but expects the process to take a few weeks.
In the meantime, Stratosphere Games is telling players to move their NFTs into personal wallets. This keeps ownership in players' hands during the transition and removes reliance on centralized systems that could change without warning.

NFT security takes priority

Mobile release still on track
The Desolation's development hasn't stopped. Stratosphere Games plans to share more updates in October as the iOS and Android launch approaches. The mobile release marks a major expansion for the studio, bringing the game to a global audience while continuing to test web3 features. The team says it will keep the community updated as work continues.
