Moreover, the number of subscribers to the Hamster Kombat Announcement Telegram channel has steadily decreased since September. The channel loses about 150,000 to 200,000 subscribers daily. The search trend for the keyword “Hamster Kombat” has also dropped from 100 points to 3 points in the past three months.

Currently, Hamster Kombat plans to integrate NFTs as in-game assets in its second season, which is expected to launch this month. However, this news has yet to rekindle interest in the project.
