Open Loot, the blockchain gaming platform created by Big Time Studios, is undergoing a major shake-up. On September 25, the company confirmed that four partner titles including Boss Fighters, Shatterpoint, The Desolation, and Kokodi will no longer be supported on the <a href="https://juicenews.io/news/platforms/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">platform</a>. Each studio is handling its own migration process, and players are being urged to withdraw or transfer their assets as soon as possible.
Launched in 2020, Open Loot was designed to merge gameplay with digital ownership, giving developers access to wallet tools, an <a href="https://juicenews.io/news/nft/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFT </a>marketplace, and cross-game asset support. While its headline game, Big Time, has seen significant adoption with millions of hours logged and over 7.8 million in-game items minted, other titles struggled to reach or retain players.
Citing the broader headwinds in Web3 gaming, the company is refocusing its efforts on a smaller slate of internally managed projects. Two new games are already in development: a <a href="https://juicenews.io/article/tag/mobile/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mobile</a> pet-collecting title set in the Big Time universe, and a cross-platform <a href="https://juicenews.io/article/tag/strategy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">strategy game</a> for browser and mobile.
<h2 id="header-0">Credit Program for Players</h2>
To support players who backed departing titles, Open Loot is introducing a discount credit program worth $2.9 million. Purchases made between August 2023 and September 2025 in non–<a href="https://juicenews.io/article/big-time-launches-preseason/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Big Time</a> games qualify for credits, which can reduce up to 25% of the cost of primary purchases in Big Time when combined with the platform’s $OL token.
The credits will also extend to upcoming Open Loot releases, ensuring that early supporters keep some value as the ecosystem shifts. Big Time NFTs remain central to the strategy, with all future games expected to offer utility for existing collectibles.
<h2 id="header-1">Departing Titles</h2>
<ul>
 <li>Boss Fighters: The 1v4 multiplayer title will no longer be accessible through Open Loot after October 4. A snapshot of player inventories will take place on November 4 before the studio reissues NFTs and tokens. In the meantime, the game will continue on Steam and Meta Quest.</li>
 <li>Shatterpoint: This mobile MOBA is preparing a blockchain migration. A snapshot will be taken at the close of Season 1, and trading on Open Loot will be disabled ahead of the move. The change may delay Season 2 by several weeks, but the studio says it will release an updated roadmap soon.</li>
 <li>The Desolation: The cooperative looter shooter is still searching for a new publishing partner after the restructuring decision disrupted its planned token launch. Developers have advised players to move NFTs to personal wallets for safekeeping. A revised roadmap is expected in October, with the team reiterating plans for a global iOS and Android release.</li>
 <li>Kokodi: The extraction shooter has not shared detailed migration plans. Players are being told to secure assets while waiting for further updates from the studio.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="header-2">Open Loot Going Forward</h2>
Open Loot was initially built to power Big Time but later expanded into a broader publishing platform with titles like WorldShards and Boss Fighters. Its infrastructure includes NFT rentals, fiat and crypto payments, and its gasless Vault system for digital asset management. The <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/open-loot/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$OL token</a> ties these features together with purchase discounts and platform rewards.
With this restructuring, the platform is scaling back external publishing and doubling down on first-party development. More information on its new titles is expected in the coming months.
