<p>Sky Mavis is shutting down Homeland, the land-based gameplay experience associated with the game.

The plan, as described by Kam and Axie developer Shade, is to build a persistent layer inside Axie Core where players place their Axies on land plots. The Axis then generates&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/news/why-axie-infinitys-axs-token-is-pumping-in-january-2026">bonded AXS tokens</a> (bAXS) and experience points.</p><p>Axie Terrarium is being positioned as the connective tissue for almost everything else on Sky Mavis's roadmap. "It will be a persistent land-based gameplay layer," Shade explained during the Lunacian Lounge livestream, “where Axies live, grow, generate value.”</p><h2>Why did Axie Infinity Homeland Shutdown?</h2><p>While Sky Mavis didn’t officially disclose why they decided to shut down Homeland, Jihoz, speaking during the Feb. 6 Lunacian Lounge session, said that Homeland "ended up being not what we wanted it to be."</p><p>Based on Jihoz’s comment, Sky Mavis may have decided that scrapping Homeland to focus on upcoming projects could be the most sensible approach both economically and for the betterment of the Axie ecosystem.</p><p>Overall, the Ronin ecosystem started 2026 on a high note with&nbsp;<a href="https://funjible.games/news/new-fishing-frenzy-and-pixels-updates-refresh-ronin-ecosystem">Fishing Frenzy and Pixels releasing large-scale updates</a>, just in time for the Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day.
