The world of blockchain gaming is getting a major revival, and it’s happening on the Ronin Network. Sky Mavis, the creator of Axie Infinity, is bringing back the excitement with Ronin Arcade, a special event running from October 23 to November 13, 2025. This initiative combines gaming, competition, and cryptocurrency rewards into one massive play-to-earn celebration.

For players who remember the early days of Axie Infinity when earning from games felt like a revolution Ronin Arcade feels like a second chance. The event brings together nine Ronin-powered games, letting players complete quests, climb leaderboards, and win prizes. The total reward pool features 100,000 RON tokens, limited-edition NFTs, and even real-world prizes like a PlayStation 5. More than just another gaming event, Ronin Arcade signals Sky Mavis’ renewed push to restore confidence in blockchain gaming after years of highs and lows. With millions of gamers still active across Ronin titles, this event could reignite interest and reshape how players engage with play-to-earn ecosystems.

How Ronin Arcade Works

Participation in Ronin Arcade is simple. Players log in using their Ronin wallet, which acts as a gaming passport. They can either play for free or purchase a Premium Battle Pass for 25 RON. The premium option unlocks special quests, higher point limits, and access to an exclusive rewards shop. Those who buy early during the first week also receive a bonus airdrop. Throughout the event, players complete various quests ranging from social interactions to in-game challenges. Each task earns points smaller actions like sharing posts offer a few, while premium quests offer hundreds. Leaderboards update in real time, displaying who’s earning the most points across all nine games.

At the end of the event, players can exchange points for rewards, including digital assets like Axies, Mokis, and cosmetic NFTs. Weekly raffles also give participants the chance to win collectibles or their value in RON tokens. The top leaderboard players take home the biggest prizes, with the first-place champion winning about $4,000 worth of RON.

 

 

To make participation even more exciting, Ronin Arcade includes a referral system. Inviting friends earns additional points, increasing a player’s chances of winning.

Ronin Arcade isn’t just about rewards; it’s about rebuilding the reputation of play-to-earn games. After the Axie Infinity downturn in 2022, many players became skeptical about the long-term value of blockchain-based rewards. This event aims to shift that perception by focusing on sustainability and community engagement rather than quick profits.

By integrating multiple games into one ecosystem, Sky Mavis is creating a shared universe where progress in one title can benefit participation in others. This approach not only rewards loyalty but also introduces players to new games within the Ronin network. For developers, it’s an opportunity to gain exposure to a broader audience without needing separate promotions. For players, it’s a chance to earn tokens while exploring diverse gameplay experiences from battle strategy to casual adventures.

The Road to Revival

The excitement around Ronin Arcade has already sparked renewed enthusiasm in gaming communities across social media platforms. Pre-registrations are growing, and discussions are heating up about potential token price movements as RON gains utility and visibility. Analysts predict that if the event succeeds in attracting both returning and new players, the total value locked (TVL) on the Ronin network could rise by as much as 50% before November ends. The success of Ronin Arcade could inspire similar large-scale gaming events across other Web3 ecosystems, potentially reviving interest in the broader play-to-earn market.

The risk, however, lies in sustainability. If players treat the event as a short-term grind for quick rewards, engagement could fade once the competition ends. To maintain momentum, Sky Mavis will need to continue offering long-term incentives and future events that build on Arcade’s success.

The Future of Ronin and Play-to-Earn

Ronin Arcade represents more than just another event it’s a strategic move to prove that blockchain gaming can still thrive. By merging entertainment with real earning potential, Sky Mavis is reshaping the narrative around Web3 gaming from speculative income to genuine engagement.

If the model works, 2026 could see Ronin evolve into a full-fledged gaming hub, hosting regular events, new token utilities, and an expanding player base. For now, all eyes are on the leaderboard. Whether players grind for glory or play for fun, Ronin Arcade is setting the stage for one of blockchain gaming’s most important comebacks.
