# The WASD Weekly: 12/29/23 By [WASD](https://paragraph.com/@wasdmedia) · 2023-12-29 --- **Author:** [**FaultProofBen**](https://twitter.com/BenGiove) Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly! Happy Holidays! I hope you’ve all had a great week, whether you’ve spent time with fam, touched grass, or just enjoyed some peace and quiet. Given that we’re in the throes of this festive period, it was a slower week in the onchain gaming world. However, there were still a few noteworthy events, as Rising Revenant kicked off their playtest, Primodium relaunched their v0.9.1 update, and Trivia.Tech teased their upcoming release on Base. Despite the low-key end to the year, I expect we’ll hit the ground running next week with a litany of announcements of game launches, updates and playtests. Enjoy these last few days of relaxation…because 2024 is going to be crazy. Happy New Year, and I’ll see you all on Tuesday! ![Happy New Year!!!](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7096d3bd329d0e91286902179d795970bb2781b35b184fdb2b65a67c2e65d2c5.png) Happy New Year!!! * * * **🗞️ The TLDR:** ----------------- _The hottest news from the last week in onchain gaming and autonomous worlds._ * [![User Avatar](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/834b3caca3b059399217214adf2f080e60d52eab8bc4f8fb438ae4e10e22d411.jpg)](https://twitter.com/RRisingRevenant) [Rising Revenant](https://twitter.com/RRisingRevenant) [@RRisingRevenant](https://twitter.com/RRisingRevenant) [![Twitter Logo](https://paragraph.com/editor/twitter/logo.png)](https://twitter.com/RRisingRevenant/status/1738931012984246287) Rising Revenant is currently live for internal testing.
