Pixcape Games completed the mint of its Genesis Pass NFT on June 25. Hosted on OpenSea, the drop consisted of 2,222 NFTs priced at 0.033 ETH each, with access staggered across multiple phases based on prior player engagement in Hive Invasion test events.

The public mint followed two whitelist phases and concluded with all passes available to the general public.

What is the Pixcape Genesis Pass?
The Genesis Pass is a limited-edition NFT designed to offer holders access to Pixcape’s blockchain-based game features. Issued on the Ethereum network, the pass acts as both a digital identity and utility token within the Pixcape ecosystem.
Passholders receive content and opportunities not available to the general public, including access to test environments and automatic eligibility for certain in-game rewards.
Distribution of the pass was determined in part by participation in earlier Hive Invasion playtests, with a points system used to prioritise whitelist access.
What are the benefits to holding a pass?
The Genesis Pass entitles holders to a range of in-game and early-access features, including:
- Guaranteed Hero and Weapon NFTs
- Limited-time loot boxes containing digital items
- Access to experimental content and pre-release builds
- Entry into future governance features, including voting and game progression input
These benefits are intended to establish a longer-term link between players and Pixcape’s development cycle, offering ongoing access as additional content is released.
What can we expect from Hive Invasion?
Hive Invasion is Pixcape’s first title within its web3 portfolio — a browser-based multiplayer game with roguelike mechanics and blockchain integration. The game allows players to battle waves of enemies, upgrade their abilities, and acquire onchain achievements tied to gameplay.
During its most recent public test phase, the game recorded participation from over 27,700 players. Pixcape reports more than 805,000 minutes of gameplay, over 500,000 skill upgrades, and 126 million in-game enemies defeated during that round.
The full launch date for Hive Invasion has not been confirmed, but further development and additional tests are expected. Genesis Pass holders will be among the first to access new content as it becomes available.
