Star Atlas has launched Iris’ Blessing, a grand six-month event slated to run from October 2025 through March 2026. This event is designed to engage the blockchain gaming community by offering a series of in-game and social challenges, emphasizing skill, perseverance, and community interaction.
Double XP Weekends
The Iris’ Blessing event encompasses scheduled double XP weekends where players will earn twice the experience points (XP) and Ink in selected game modes such as gunplay and racing. The event dates are as follows:
- October 24 – 26, 2025
- November 28 – 30, 2025
- December 26 – 28, 2025
- January 23 – 25, 2026
- February 27 – March 1, 2026
- March 27 – 29, 2026
During these weekends, every 100 XP earned will grant players 1 Ink, with these rates doubled, effectively boosting players’ ability to progress in the game and accumulate valuable resources. This ties directly into the z.ink airdrop, further enriching the player’s gains during these periods.
Monthly Discord Drawings
In addition to gameplay rewards, Iris’ Blessing introduces an opportunity to win in-game assets via monthly Discord drawings. Players can earn tickets to these drawings by participating in community activities such as the Atlas Brew, Economic Forum, and Game Nights. These tickets are entered into a pool for a chance to win part of the $30,000 total value in Star Atlas loot, with each drawing reportedly surpassing $5,000 in rewards.
Exclusive Prizes and Rewards
The drawings offer a generous array of prizes including ships and crew NFTs like the Fimbul ECO Unibomba and VZUS Solo, as well as multiple tiers of crew NFTs ranging from silver to platinum levels. Special ships unique to certain drawings add a rare opportunity for participants to significantly enhance their in-game assets.
Players interested in joining the festivities must first secure a game key for Star Atlas from the official Discord server, which will enable access to the Unreal Engine 5-based game on the Epic Games Store. Participation in the double XP weekends and collection of Ink require logging into the game during specified times, while various community events offer additional ways to engage and earn drawing tickets.
Star Atlas is a grand strategy and space exploration MMORPG built on the Solana blockchain, employing Unreal Engine 5 to deliver a visually immersive gaming experience. This MMORPG is part of a broader ecosystem that includes separate browser-based games such as SAGE Labs and Holosim, all contributing to a rich, interconnected universe where players own digital assets and influence the galactic economy through strategic gameplay.
