Will New Land Update Pump Splinterlands Assets?

As we approach the final stretch of 2025, the Splinterlands card market is showing signs of quiet strength. While prices remain relatively stable, the number of cards actively listed for sale is surprisingly low. This scarcity isn’t due to lack of interest, it’s a reflection of strategic holding. With the highly anticipated Land 1.75 update set to launch in December, many players are choosing to stake their cards on plots rather than sell them on the open market.

Across the ecosystem, listings for high-demand cards, especially Rebellion and Riftwatchers Legendaries, have thinned out. Some cards have fewer than 50 active listings, and even older editions like Untamed and Beta are seeing reduced liquidity. Gold Foil cards, which offer superior Production Points (PP) for land-based resource generation, are being scooped up by landowners preparing for the next phase of gameplay. This behavior suggests a strong conviction among players: cards are more valuable as productive assets than as tradeable commodities.

Despite the drop in supply, prices have held steady. Cards like Lorkus and Daarg Deadblast have seen modest gains, while Akane surged over 150% in recent weeks. These movements aren’t driven by hype or speculation, they’re organic responses to rising utility. As land plots become more active and resource production ramps up, the demand for staked cards will only increase. That’s why many players believe the current price stability is temporary, and that a breakout could occur once the December update goes live.

Meanwhile, the land market itself is heating up. Common plots, which were once trading below $100 earlier this year, are now hovering around the $150–$180 range. Rare and Epic plots, especially those with natural resource bonuses, are commanding even higher premiums, with some Legendary plots listed for over $1,000. Region and tract sales are also seeing renewed interest, as guilds and whales position themselves to dominate the resource economy. With only 150,000 total plots ever minted and a large portion already claimed and staked, the available supply on secondary markets is shrinking fast.

The Land 1.75 update promises to deepen the game’s economy by introducing new mechanics for crafting, research, and advanced resource generation. Cards will be essential for powering these systems, and plots without workers will be left idle. This creates a natural incentive to accumulate and stake cards now, before prices potentially rise. It also explains why so many holders are opting out of the marketplace, they’re positioning themselves for long-term yield rather than short-term profit.

In summary, the Splinterlands card and land markets are quietly bullish. Low supply, steady prices, and rising utility form a compelling setup for future growth. Whether you’re a land baron or a casual battler, now might be the time to reassess your card inventory and land holdings, because when the land awakens in December, the market may not stay this calm for long.
