Blankos Block Party, an NFT-powered online creation game, launched today on the Epic Games Store, becoming the first Web3Web3 title published on the popular PC gaming marketplace.
Mythical Games’ title was previously available from its own website after launching with an open beta in December 2020, and the company said in June this year that Blankos had amassed more than one million total users to date.
The studio announced plans in June to bring the free-to-play title to the Epic Games Store this year, but it was unclear whether it would be the first such game to reach the marketplace. Gala Games previously announced that its Western-themed shooter Grit would be first Web3 game on the platform, but it’s not yet available.
Blankos Block Party lets users play and collaborate in a colorful online world, and is inspired by designer/vinyl toy culture. NFTs are used in the game to represent unique items like avatar designs and accessories, which can be bought and sold through the game’s marketplace.
Since launching, the game has brought in a number of brand and artist partners for limited-edition drops, including Burberry, Atari, and musician Deadmau5. However, owning NFTs is not required to play the game. An NFT is a blockchain tokentoken that represents ownership in an item, including video game goods like characters, weapons, and virtual land.
Epic Games Store, which claimed more than 194 million total users by the end of 2021, has taken a different approach to Web3 gaming than its chief rival, Valve’s Steam marketplace. Last fall, Valve said that developers could not publish games on Steam that used NFTs or cryptocurrencies in any way.
In response, Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted that while the studio—which publishes the smash hit Fortnite—itself didn’t plan to use NFTs or Web3 tech, it would allow other creators to use them so long as they abide by laws and marketplace guidelines.
The National Football League and the NFL Players Association have partnered with Mythical Games to develop a blockchain game with NFTs called NFL Rivals. The fantasy football game—where users act as an NFL team’s general manager—will feature all 32 teams and all league players as tradeable NFTs. The game will primarily focus on team building and leveling up with NFTs—unique blockchain tokens that signify ownership of an asset—and is set to debut next year. Billy Shautz, NFL Rivals' Executive Pro...
“Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appropriate group,” he tweeted. “Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance.”
The version of Blankos Block Party that launched on the Epic Games Store today is functionally identical to the version playable from the game’s own website. Both are available in what’s being billed as an “early access” state, with the full game launch to come across platforms on September 28 with additional content in tow.
The Ethereum merge will happen this week. In this serving of Decrypt-O's, Kate Irwin explains the Bellatrix upgrade and the shadow fork, Dan Roberts predicts the impact Ethereum's move to proof of stake will have on Bitcoin's energy use PR problem (plus commentary from Dan Held from the gm podcast), and Sander Lutz hits the street in Hollyweird to ask regular folks if they know and care about the merge. (Production by Zack Edelman, editing by Jason Nelson.)
Blankos Block Party runs on the studio’s Mythical Platform, which is built on the EOS.IO blockchain protocol, but has a bridge to the leading NFT network Ethereum. Mythical is also developing several other games, including the licensed NFL Rivals, and most recently raised $150 million at a $1.25 billion valuation last November.
Blockchain-powered mobile soccer game FIFA Rivals will release on June 12 on both iOS and Android, Mythical Games announced Friday, revealing a multi-year licensing agreement with sportswear giant Adidas in the process. The team-up will integrate Adidas products throughout FIFA Rivals, including digital kits, jerseys, and shoe releases that draw from the brand's soccer heritage. Players will have access to exclusive in-game items and experiences designed around Adidas branding. "FIFA Rivals is a...
While crypto gaming has long been seen as a key use for blockchain, letting gamers really own and freely trade their unique items and perhaps profit from a game's success, developers are struggling to sustain their games and digital economies. Some games, like Gunzilla Games’ Off the Grid, have punched through to a broader audience, gaining adoption from top streamers and gamers alike—albeit ahead of full blockchain integration. But many other games and studios building with tokens are strugglin...
Yuga Labs is serious about refocusing on the Bored Ape Yacht Club, the Otherside metaverse game, and related projects. On Friday, the crypto startup said that it had sold off yet another previously acquired NFT project IP, dumping the Moonbirds property that it purchased just over a year ago. The buyer is Orange Cap Games, a young gaming startup that builds digital and physical trading card games. The firm's first game, the Pudgy Penguins-themed Vibes TCG, launched on Ethereum layer-2 network Ab...
