With all the bear sentiment in crypto is is surprising to see Splinterlands activities have be rising in the past week. Although the rise is small it is noticeable and trending up.

The onboarding of new players also trending up on the month data. All charts from peakmonsters.com.

Over at DappRadar Splinterlands is ranked 199th crypto game in January 2026. At this ranking even after over eight years and running I would think it would mean more.
Even in open market for Hive secondary tokens appears to be rising in activities. The transactions have increase even when prices have fallen.

My personal interpretation of this is there are more willing participants buying now than prior price drops. I am hoping a bottom is near. Even Hive price seem to at least have stabilized. In the past 24 hours the price range has flatten.

Going off on a tangent there is a new mini set of cards coming soon for sale. The Escalation Set goes on presale come Feb. 10th, 2026. While official start sale is Feb. 24th. You can read more from direct official developer's post:

My opinion first glance the cards images are really cool. Then there are new abilities. The Shadow Focus seeming far superior to sneak ability. Then there is bloodline pact that makes stacking abilities even more impressive.
Thanks for reading this post.
