The game will launch in the LATAM region first in a beta period with the remainder of the world coming at a later date. The mobile game will roll out to these regions slowly based on the success of the game in its testing regions. Axie Infinity: Origins is an NFT-based card game that runs on the Ronin blockchain, a proprietary blockchain based on Ethereum. It is important to note that Axie Infinity: Origins is free to start with a set of starting Axies, which are monsters in the game with associated cards. However, these starting Axies are not tied to NFTs, and are simply cards to get players into the ecosystem.
