Spielworks Launches Season One of its Wombat Dungeon Master NFT Game
Spielworks, a leading blockchain startup specialising in gaming and decentralised finance (DeFi) solutions, has launched Season One of its Wombat Dungeon Master NFT game.
The release brings new functions to the multichain game, including an equipment management system and character progression mechanics. Season One follows the public beta test, which began on December 15 to see a total of 4251 unique players log in. It opened up with a Genesis item pack sale, met by the community with an overwhelming response that saw all packs sell out near-instantly.
Spielworks’s Wombat Dungeon Master game brings a multitude of NFT games and projects together to give players an overview of the wider blockchain ecosystem in a fun and engaging way. Season One adds varying duration for dungeon runs, which always stood at 24 hours in the beta, and brings more RPG elements into the gameplay. Players can now equip their Wombats with various NFT items, such as lamps, hats, and digging tools, before sending them on an NFT treasure hunt into the dungeon, which will bring them Experience points needed for level-ups.
The items have a direct impact on the effectiveness of the dungeon run by amping up the Wombat’s stats. They can bolster the dungeoneer’s mining power, which results in more rewards, increase the amount of Experience it would get for the dungeon run, or reduce the time it has to spend in the dungeon. Items vary in level and rarity, and players can combine multiple items of the same type into a single and more powerful one.
Celebrating Season One’s launch, Spielworks held a Genesis item pack sale. It offered players 50 Diamond and 500 Basic packs containing multiple items of various rarity levels. All packs sold out one second after the sale went live, propelling the Genesis collection into the top five on the WAX blockchain shortly after the event.
The Wombat Dungeon Master is an NFT hunt game featuring non-fungible tokens minted by multiple projects partnered with Spielworks. Available on EOS and WAX blockchains, it brings gamers and creators together in an engaging and interactive staking hub that introduces the former to more NFT gaming projects and brings the latter exposure and new users. With its simple mechanics, the project gives the users a taste of NFT staking and works as their gateway into the larger NFT gaming universe built by Spielworks and its partners.
“NFT games are a rapidly expanding market, and visibility is crucial for sustaining their meteoric rise. Wombat Dungeon Master brings just that to the table, while also granting more utility to NFTs players already hold with its staking support. We are thrilled to see how many players joined the public beta and look forward to bringing gamers more gameplay elements and features in future updates,” Adrian Krion, CEO of Spielworks, said.

Eagerly anticipated release now confirmed following a highly successful exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive
Play’n GO has today announced the official US release of its hit title Colt Lightning Firestorm, following a three-week period of exclusivity with Rush Street Interactive brands BetRivers and SugarHouse.
Colt Lightning Firestorm was released in Europe and other jurisdictions in May 2024, and its release in the US comes with much fanfare following the game’s rave reviews in its short exclusivity period. The game is a sequel to the wildly popular Colt Lightning game which was released early last year, and indications at this stage suggest that this sequel may prove even more successful.
This announcement sees Colt Lightning Firestorm available to players in each state and operator with whom Play’n GO is licensed. Play’n GO first entered the online casino market in the US in 2022, and has reiterated its commitment to becoming active in every regulated market around the world.
Magnus Olsson, Chief Commercial Officer at Play’n GO said: “We’re excited to unveil Colt Lightning Firestorm to the wider online casino gaming community in the US, and have been very pleased to see its strong performance during its exclusivity period with Rush Street Interactive. We had high hopes for the game following the success of its predecessor, and we’re confident that these robust results will continue now that the game is available to an even bigger audience.”

Over the coming 18 months, Singapore will become a major hub for esports in Southeast Asia, and with the support of the Singapore Tourism Board, we look forward to delivering unforgettable experiences for fans while helping to build a thriving esports ecosystem in the region. Bringing the first BLAST arena event to Singapore is an exciting first step in this journey. The World Final will see the world’s best Counter-Strike players and teams fighting for a $1,000,000 total prize pool.”
Ms Ong Ling Lee, Executive Director, Sports and Wellness, Singapore Tourism Board, said, “We are excited to host the BLAST Premier World Final and the BLAST Dota Slam in Singapore.

We are confident that the international participants and their legions of fans will have a memorable experience in Singapore, immersing themselves in the diverse and dynamic offerings of our city.”
