Ember Sword儘管籌集了數百萬美元，但仍關閉，突出了Web3遊戲項目的動盪性。

2025年5月21日，Web3遊戲社區因Ember Sword的突然關閉而動搖，Ember Sword是由Bright Star Studios開發的備受期待的基於區塊鏈的MMORPG。

Crypto MMORPG Ember Sword is shutting down despite raising millions and selling out land NFTs, highlighting the volatile nature of Web3 gaming projects.

Crypto Mmorpg Ember Sword儘管籌集了數百萬美元並出售了Land NFT，但仍在關閉，強調了Web3遊戲項目的動盪性。

Ember Sword, a blockchain-based MMORPG that had promised to combine the magic of massively multiplayer online role-playing games with the economic possibilities of Web3, is shutting down, the studio announced on Monday.

該工作室週一宣布，基於區塊鏈的MMORPG埃伯·劍（Ember Sword）承諾將大量多人在線角色扮演遊戲的魔力與Web3的經濟可能性相結合。

The game, which launched its token on June 13, 2024, had managed to secure approximately $7.1 million in investor funding and sold 40,000 virtual land NFTs for a realized pledge of $203 million from 35,000 gamers at an average price of $5,274.

該遊戲於2024年6月13日推出了代幣，該遊戲已設法獲得了約710萬美元的投資者資金，並以35,000名玩家的平均價格以5,274美元的價格從35,000個遊戲玩家那裡獲得了40,000個虛擬Land NFTS。

The land NFTs were part of a broader effort to build a vibrant player-driven economy within Ember Sword. The game was initially launched in May 2023 with a successful land sale that saw technical difficulties due to overwhelming demand.

Land NFT是在Ember Sword中建立充滿活力的玩家驅動經濟的更廣泛努力的一部分。該遊戲最初是在2023年5月推出的，由於需求壓倒性的需求而成功的土地銷售造成了技術困難。

The project also rolled out its Origins Collection NFT launch and offered early access gameplay in December 2024, providing glimmers of hope to the community eagerly awaiting the game’s full release.

該項目還推出了其Origins Collection NFT發布會，並在2024年12月提供了早期的訪問遊戲玩法，為社區提供了希望的一線希望，熱切地等待遊戲的完整髮行。

However, despite the early traction and community enthusiasm, Ember Sword ultimately could not secure the necessary funding to continue development amid a challenging Web3 gaming landscape.

然而，儘管早期的牽引力和社區熱情，但Ember Sword最終無法獲得必要的資金來繼續發展，而在充滿挑戰的Web3遊戲領域中。

This forced the team to make the difficult decision to shut down the game servers and officially close the Discord channel on Monday, leaving the community without any further updates or support.

這迫使團隊決定關閉遊戲服務器並在周一正式關閉Discord頻道的艱難決定，使社區沒有任何進一步的更新或支持。

At least 16 GameFi Projects Are Dead in 2025

2025年至少有16個Gamefi項目死亡

The closure of Ember Sword is not entirely surprising given the bleak statistics surrounding Web3 game failure rates. A 2023 CoinGecko report examined 100 Web3 games launched between 2018 and 2023, finding that a staggering 75.5% failed to reach meaningful success.

鑑於Web3遊戲失敗率的慘淡統計數據，灰劍的關閉並不完全令人驚訝。一份2023年的Coingecko報告檢查了2018年至2023年之間推出的100個Web3遊戲，發現驚人的75.5％的遊戲未能取得有意義的成功。

Moreover, Chainplay's 2024 report examining 3,279 GameFi projects found that 93% are dead, having either dropped 95% from their all-time high or fallen below 100 daily active users. These projects had an average lifespan of just 4 months.

此外，Chainplay的2024年報告檢查了3,279個GameFI項目，發現93％的人死亡，要么從歷史最高時期下降了95％，要么跌至100個活躍的用戶以下。這些項目的平均壽命僅為4個月。

More specifically, at least 16 web3 games are either paused, shut down, or were set to close in 2025, including: Blade of God, Metalcore, Blast Royale, Nyan Heroes, etc.

更具體地說，至少有16場Web3遊戲被暫停，關閉，或者將於2025年關閉，包括：上帝的刀片，Metalcore，Blast Royale，Nyan Heroes等。

Many users label Ember Sword a "pure scam," highlighting the rapid depletion of funds. They also criticize the tendency of Web3 projects to overpromise with "giant projects" that fail to materialize.

許多用戶將Ember Sword標記為“純騙局”，突出了資金的快速耗盡。他們還批評了Web3項目的趨勢，因為“巨大的項目”未能實現。

As a result, the price of these project tokens has no bright future. The NYAN token of Nyan Heroes has decreased by 99% in value from its ATH.

結果，這些項目代幣的價格沒有光明的未來。 Nyan Heroes的Nyan Token從ATH的價值下降了99％。

EMBER, token of Ember Sword, has crashed over 50% in the last 30 days, or down 99% from its peak on June 14, 2024.

Ember Sword的恩伯（Ember）在過去30天內墜毀超過50％，比2024年6月14日的峰值下降了99％。
