Since December, we've been developing new features for Conquest.eth including Autonomous Agents and Live in-game chat. Building on the success of our previous edition, we're excited to release our latest version with experiments in innovative game-play mechanics we're considering for ambitious expansions of the game!
The 2025.2 edition is now live on Endurance with $8,000 worth of rewards distributed to players based on their skills. This limited-time experiment runs until June 18th and introduces fundamental game-play changes, particularly pre-established factions that players must join to participate.
🕹 Ready to play now? Head over to the game!

We have been working in the last 3 months on exploring new mechanics for Conquest.eth and can't wait to see how it plays out. Here are a couple to whet your appetite.
This edition introduces pre-established factions that players must join, completely transforming the game dynamics. The new system includes a daily dynamic token allocation mechanism: the more successful a faction becomes, the fewer tokens it receives. This approach aims to maintain balance in the universe while ensuring players' skills remain the primary factor for victory.
As mentioned in our previous announcements, we'll reward both team play and individual performance. As usual, expect some unique reward planets too! We will be releasing more details as the game plays out. In total we have $8,000 of rewards!
To limit Sybil attacks (where players create multiple accounts for advantages), an Entry Pass is now required to join. The pass costs $5 (USDC on Base) and provides enough ACE tokens (Endurance's native token) to play until the game's end on June 18th. Mint your pass on the Base network via our dedicated website. That's all you need to play the game.
Previous Players: If you've played by staking real money in either the Defcon edition or 2025.1 edition prior to May 19th, you qualify for a free mint! Just visit the minting website with your previous playing address, pay for gas, and you're set!
Fusionist Community: The Fusionist team (behind the Endurance network) is also offering free mints to their community. Check their Discord for details.
We've launched a campaign that gives you $1 (USDC on Base) back (up to $5 maximum) for each new player you bring in resulting in a non-free mint. To be eligible, you must have minted an Entry Pass yourself with the address you are using as referrer. Please note that rewards aren't instant—expect at least a 48-hour processing time. In the worst case, all rewards will be distributed by the end of the game session (June 18th).
Quote tweet our announcement:
with a cool message about the game to get a free mint! Note that we reserve the right to reject entries from newly created Twitter accounts or other reasons. After tweeting, reach out to us on Discord and specify which address you want added to the free-mint list.
We've set parameters to balance various factions, but we acknowledge our current solution isn't perfect. Its effectiveness will depend on player behaviours that we cannot predict. We therefore reserve the right to change the mechanism and adjust token distribution to balance the game at our discretion. We hope we will not need to though and will be keen to hear players' opinions.
While our goal is to create a dynamic system that works in all situations, we recognise our system is still evolving. We plan to learn from this edition to improve our design for future releases.
Excited to have you onboard, get your entry pass and choose your faction. Remember, watch your back!
