Axie Infinity is the video game broadly recognized as the current king of the NFT gaming hill. A quick glance at numbers like the $4.5 B market capitalization of the AXS token (as of the time of this writing) or hitting 1M daily active users (DAU) leaves little doubts as to the success the project enjoys.
The game developers of Axie Infinity show no signs of slowing down. The development roadmap for the incoming months include the releases of AXS staking (likely this September), Play to Earn as well as a new Land Gameplay. All of these milestones are eagerly awaited by the player community and are likely to boost the popularity of the game to new alltime highs.
Axie Infinity has so far enjoyed a truly meteoric rise amidst the overall nonfungible tokens and crypto gaming hype, but as the fine print often reads, past performance is no guarantee of future results. From a less optimistic angle, the online game looks like a fairly mature project in a space that is getting crowded very fast. It is not unlikely that it gets disrupted by other projects over the next months or hits other barriers to growth.
All this begs the question what's next for Axie? This time we’ve asked our experts not one, but three questions, and here are the main takeaways.
How do you see Axie Infinity developing over the next 12 months?
According to the responses from our experts, the immediate future of Axie Infinity looks mostly bright.
The reasons for this include a large and growing community that strongly supports the project, as well as the still early phase of the NFT gaming market with ample space for multiple growing projects.
The firstmover advantage Axie Infinity enjoys on the NFT gaming scene is broadly seen as a market position that will be difficult to challenge by other projects, both in the near future and further along. As Abegail Prado aptly puts it, as Bitcoin is the father of crypto, Axie Infinity is the mother of NFT games.
Most of our experts expect the video game to keep growing over the next year, however, the predictions regarding its growth dynamics vary from slowing to exponential.
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie Infinity roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
All three releases mentioned above staking AXS, Axie Play to Earn, Axie Infinity Land Gameplay are seen as drivers of further adoption among Axie user groups and of token price growth. At a fundamental level, the ambitious and well thoughtout roadmap of the project, containing elements eagerly anticipated by both players and investors, is viewed as a significant positive factor that will drive investment.
An important word of caution, as observed by Ubee james and Mert Çarıkçı, is that overall market trends are likely to significantly impact the token prices. This goes both for the hype surrounding the project and the NFT gaming space as well as the price trends of major coins. As Mert notes, not many project token prices move according to their project roadmaps disregarding broad market trends.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie Infinity growth?
When it comes to factors that may negatively impact Axie Infinity within the next months, our experts identify primarily:
These risk factors need to be monitored by anyone considering making an investment in Axie Infinity and the AXS and SLP tokens.
They are, however, not seen by our experts as dominating for the generally positive outlook for the Axie Infinity project.

The most significant threats that hinders Axie growth is the laws implemented in diffrent countries. Like for example in the Philippines, the BIR is submissively looking for the benefit to get tax from the players playing the axie infinity.

How do you see Axie developing over the next 12 months?
I could say that the economy of axie infinity is one of the best games there is currently and the best known so far. But analyzing and seeing a bit of the game, I think its price and economy are going to drop a little, since currently, to make the change from slp to bnb, it will charge a large percentage of feed. and well now axie would have to look for an alternative or how to improve his game since now there is a new nft that is similar and very similar and is on the right track. As it is monsta infinity for now it is in the presale and in the prelansamiento what I would have to look for is to improve so that it can be maintained in the next 12 months
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
As I said before, you can have a recession or it can go up as prices have dropped a bit and new investors or new interested people could come in and improve a bit.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie growth?
I think the barriers themselves place them to have limitations in the game. And then the main thing is to improve as I said currently, a new nft game has come out, very similar to Axie Infinity, such as Monsta Infinity, I think the main barrier is competition, I would have to make improvements and seek to stabilize the economy since there are a lot of things in risks and there are people who have been axie for a long time like abandoning it and leaving there. Competition can be a big driver of growth if you tackle it right

How do you see Axie developing over the next 12 months?
I'm still little worried about the project as is expected in every new projects, so after one year the direction of the project will be much clearer (now in crypro-space have many similar projects). For sure this project is promising and have to be in crypto enthusiasts watch-list.
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
Every positive announcements such as planned project milestone will bring tokenomic positive boosting in the price. However, most important is to be done organically price increase in the time, not to become another P&D project.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie growth?
To be lost trust in the project caused in manu unpredictible varyables such as spreading FUD, and turn the project in wrong direction as manu other fallen projects become only to pump and dump.

How do you see Axie developing over the next 12 months?
They the leader on this field and this is only early stage of earn to play era, they already got the hype, so I think they will develop more and more.
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
Just my answer before, this is just early stage of play to earn era in blockhain, like any alt-coin new roadmap usually boost the token price.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie growth?
If there is another better project than Axie. Another threat maybe if the developer make mismanagement. But for now they are in the right path.

How do you see Axie developing over the next 12 months?
Just like other games, Axie has been set as most played games earnings as top games. There is no stopping as giving scholarship become an phenomenal success in their business. In 12 months I can see it will goes beyond expectations as till now no sign of stopping yet.
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
Most Axie becoming very successful due to scholarship method and by mean player are bonds to master terms and conditions of service. Perhaps it also a good thing to do as most people are jobless and locked in during pandemic. It creates opportunities to help others to earn even though applying for scholarships is challenging.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie growth?
1)Automatons Axie in long term Could create anatomy as strongest get more peoples while weak get dominate in crowd of challengers. I remembered in my head that (forgot about name of that mmo) where 2 world dominator fighting each other for nearly 18 hours (guess...) due one of clan trying to steal minerals from others. At end. Thousands of gigantic spaceship destroyed and cost thousands grands Imagine that if Axie have it. 2) create fraud ID. Hacker always will find a way to sabotage the game in order to to make profit from others sweat. In my opinion, this act is TOTAL DOWNGRADING INTO ONE DUMBNESS UNIVERSAL CREDIT evrr done by highly qualified professional homo sapiens. If you are helping to creating a better living environment or improving,, you have my salute. Via verse. Don't disgrace your parent ny create pain om someone success

How do you see Axie developing over the next 12 months?
Due to the China ban on games I believe it will drop temporarily to the mid to low $60’s for a few months. If the Bull cycle ends before it recovers it may drop as low as the low $50’s. At that point it will ride that level for a few months which would be a good entry position. However with all the rapidly increasing competition and it’s high price it is doubtful it will ever break $100. At this point it may be a decent x 2 at $50, but I think that ship has sailed.
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
I think the releases will help keep it relevant and keep the prices stable for a bit. However it is hard to imagine it will be a profitable investment as it is currently regardless of new releases.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie growth?
I believe it’s high price will keep newer investors away, and the China ban will cause enough of a drop that would make skittish investors sell. But competition with all the new gaming releases and high gas prices on the Etherium network will definitely hinder growth the most.

How do you see Axie developing over the next 12 months?
i think with the direction now, axie development will slow down over the next 12 months, other nft games will grow strong instead, because people's needs are always changing.
Are the upcoming releases in the Axie roadmap likely to significantly boost its popularity or AXS and SLP token prices?
in terms of popularity I think it will increase participation in the game but the token price will probably trend down, as the new release has a free play mode that can earn a small amount of slp. An increase in the number of slp can cause the price of the slp to decrease.
What are in your opinion the most significant threats and barriers that may hinder further Axie growth?
Axie Infinity is also not a game you can immediately start playing. Since the first 3 axies are required, the player must spend money to buy axies or rent them from others on a profit sharing basis afterwards. If players really want to make money from Axie Infinity, they will overcome this barrier.
