Hamster Kombat token falls to $0.0025 amid delays in second season launch
The token for Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) hit a new low as developers failed to launch the game’s second season, which had been promised by the end of October.
On November 1, HMSTR dropped to $0.0025, rebounding slightly to trade around $0.0026 over the weekend.
Over the last week, HMSTR has declined by 11%, and since its listing in late September, it has lost nearly 73% of its value, mirroring the performance of other popular gaming tokens launched on Telegram, like Catizen (CATI) and Notcoin (NOT), which have fallen by 71% and 78%, respectively.
New plans and yet another test of players' trust
After listing, many Hamster Kombat players expressed dissatisfaction with the token’s low value and the reward structure. In response, developers announced plans for a new season that would include expanding the game’s platform and offering rewards to token holders willing to freeze their tokens rather than trade them on exchanges.
However, the delay in launching the second season may cost the game even more fans. At its peak, Hamster Kombat had up to 300 million regular players, with 129 million eligible for token distribution. Now, player numbers have dwindled to 44 million, compared to approximately 100 million in late September.
In mid-October, Hamster Kombat announced that in the second season, players would take on the role of CEOs of their own enterprises, with new objectives including hiring employees and creating game hits, all with the ultimate goal of building a gaming platform.
The new season will also feature an airdrop event scheduled for next summer. During this event, players will receive exclusive in-game assets and tokens for free. These assets are expected to play a key role in the updated game mechanics, and the event aims to attract new players while rewarding the existing community for their participation.
