With its integration into the BoomLand ecosystem, Cantina Royale is starting a new chapter. This change is a major turning point for the tactical shooter, which was uncertain following the untimely death of Alex, its CEO, in June 2024. BoomLand has stepped in to take over development and move forward with fresh ideas for the game’s future despite the difficulties.
BoomLand, the company behind Hunters On-Chain, announced in a joint statement on March 31, 2025, that they will be overseeing Cantina Royale’s development going forward. BoomLand’s team, who have been fans of the game for a long time, said they appreciate Cantina Royale’s competitive gameplay, lively community, and well-polished mechanics. Following the untimely death of its CEO, the company’s intense love for the game sparked productive conversations about how to continue the project’s legacy.
“This is the result of deep respect, strategic alignment, and a shared belief in what Cantina Royale can become,” stated both teams in their joint statement.
Following the announcement, Cantina Royale servers went offline on March 28, 2025, to facilitate the integration process. However, players can look forward to a rejuvenated experience once the game returns. New features will be introduced, improving gameplay, expanding community engagement, and creating fresh opportunities for players to compete and earn.
As part of the transition, BoomLand is inviting Cantina Royale players to explore Hunters On-Chain, BoomLand’s flagship game. In return, these players will receive special assets to ease their entry into the BoomLand ecosystem.
BoomLand has outlined a clear plan to ensure that the value of existing Cantina Royale assets is retained. The main features include:
Detailed instructions for the swap and airdrop will be provided in the coming weeks.
BoomLand is committed to maintaining open communication with the Cantina Royale community. To address concerns, a dedicated communication channel has been set up, and an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session will be scheduled soon. During this session, BoomLand will introduce their team to the Cantina Royale players and answer any questions regarding the transition.
Once hailed as a leader in web3 gaming, Cantina Royale faces an exciting new beginning. With BoomLand’s technical expertise and resources, the tactical shooter is poised to thrive in a revitalized environment, continuing to engage its loyal fanbase while welcoming newcomers.
