A trailblazing event took place in the Web3 gaming world recently, marking a significant milestone.

Meanwhile, the much-anticipated game Immortal Rising 2 has already garnered over 400,000 pre-registrations, generating a buzz in the gaming community.
Web3 Wedding in Pixels: A New Chapter in Online Celebrations
Cloudwhite, a well-known figure in the Web3 gaming scene, decided to take his wedding vows in the virtual world of Pixels. This unique event took place after he met his partner at the 2022 Axie Infinity convention, AxieCon. The choice to host their wedding in a Web3 game was deeply personal for Cloudwhite and his partner, Laura.
“Streaming and hosting the wedding in Pixels Online was crucial for our families and friends who were spread across Wisconsin and Colombia,” Cloudwhite shared. He added that this innovative approach to a wedding allowed their loved ones to participate, even if they couldn’t physically attend the event.
In Pixels, a game where players can farm, explore, own land, and display NFTs, the community embraced the wedding by offering exclusive in-game wedding outfits. The turnout was impressive, with 3,789 users purchasing suits and 1,865 opting for wedding dresses. Cloudwhite expressed his envy of the attendees, who got to enjoy the in-game festivities while he was preoccupied with wedding duties.
One of the highlights for Cloudwhite was seeing players create their own side events, such as a bachelor party at The Drunken Goose within the game. The wedding took place at Terra Villa Central on September 7, and it quickly became a hot topic within the Web3 gaming community. Even Sky Mavis, the creator of Axie Infinity and the Ronin network, which Pixels is based on, shared the news on social media.
Cloudwhite expressed his gratitude to the Web3 gaming community and the Ronin network for their support, which helped him and Laura navigate the challenges of living in different countries and planning their wedding. Their journey involved traveling to eight countries and a 16-month wait for Laura’s K-1 visa approval in the United States.
Immortal Rising 2: A Surge of Excitement
The dark fantasy idle RPG Immortal Rising 2 has seen a surge in pre-registrations, with over 400,000 gamers signing up before its September 13 launch. Jake Lee, the chief publishing officer at Planetarium Labs, attributes this excitement to the success of its predecessor, Immortal Rising 1, which topped revenue charts for eight consecutive months in South Korea.
Lee explained that the game’s transition from Web2 to Web3 would be gradual, with Web3 features being introduced over the coming months. This approach aims to bridge the gap between traditional and Web3 gamers naturally. The game is backed by a strong team, including the lead game designer from the hit game Dave The Diver, which sold 1 million copies in just 10 days.
Planetarium Labs, known for its work on the fully on-chain idle RPG Nine Chronicles, is publishing Immortal Rising 2. While specific details about the game’s tokenomics are still under wraps, Lee emphasized the goal of a sustainable strategy for the token, focusing on long-term stability rather than short-term price spikes.
