Ethereum Sidechain Games Face Shutdown Amid Financial Struggles

According to PANews, two games based on the Ethereum sidechain Ronin, 'Realms of Alurya' and 'Wonder Wars,' are set to cease operations due to financial difficulties. Developer Hello Monster announced the decision to terminate 'Wonder Wars' operations and cancel its token issuance after failing to meet critical operational metrics and secure funding. Meanwhile, 'Realms of Alurya' is being taken offline following the sudden termination of cooperation by its publisher, Treasure, and a subsequent funding shortfall. The team is currently seeking solutions. This development continues the trend of crypto game shutdowns in 2025, with previous projects like 'Nyan Heroes' and 'Ember Sword' also halting operations for similar reasons. Industry analysts highlight that challenges in securing funding and a lack of sufficient players are accelerating market consolidation.
