[Hive](https://leofinance.io/@crypto-guides/what-is-hive-crypto-hive) is more than a blockchain or a socialmedia. It is where to get everything ranging from fun to learning to wealth and many more. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbyoD5whCQq4VrS8Y7n8qHgQxMx4Ks21EjaJviGjyxv9c/image.png) I've been personally anticipating a live play game other than a card game on the blockchain and I'm glad that [Splinterlands game](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=uyobong) developers will be making it possible with **SOULKEEP** - a name for the long awaited Splinterlands Tower Defense SoulKeep would be a drastic shift from the auto-play mode of Splinterlands and would unfold a new episode of earnable fun in the Splinterlands ecosystem and the entire blockchain gaming industry. Below is a screenshot of the gameplay's arena. > Splinterlands Tower Defense will be an incredibly deep and challenging game. Make strategic choices, such as the placement, upgrading, and arrangement of your towers, spells, and heroes during the preparation phase. Commit your defensive strategy to the battle. Watch the battle play out at various speeds or skip to the results.

See the video below. ___ ___ It is interesting to see how development is on a fast pace on Hive blockchain while other blockchains are backing out. We are just two days away from the unveil of the open alpha version of the new LeoFinance UI and in a few weeks, The SoulKeep open alpha would be up for test. This new game mode in splinterlands would make it playable by a vast number of persons, many of whom do not have interest in crypto. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVGPTpEmC8hZf8JzcEd4FmYYZm118zTvNJ8x6iwbErjV7/image.png) Months ago, we had started buying the Tower Defense packs and now that the game launch is getting closer, it is obvious that the TD packs would get sold out sooner than imagined. Each TD pack is selling for $8 with $DEC, and discounted for $5 when purchased with VOUCHER. This fast pace of development bother Tower defense would motivate the buying of more packs. In the coming weeks, I personally wish to add some 10 more Tower Defense packs to my holdings ahead of the game launch. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWWjw3QCxKoQroZCWnRvEd4hq4EJaSFmKUGqkas9ptDkx/image.png) Besides the first airdrop for TD pack holders would be released soon. This will happen once the next 290k packs are sold out which may happen in few weeks. it is interesting how airdrops abound in this blockchain game, helping players and investors to breakeven their investments easier. SoulKeep would not just be fun but would be an additional earning opportunity on the Splinterlands gaming ecosystem, and by extension the Hive blockchain in general. Who else is excited about this development in the Splinterlands ecosystem and the Hive blockchain in general?
