Mythical Games to Launch NFT Platform
Mythical Games believes that the future of the gaming industry is in the development of NFTs. Therefore, it is launching an NFT platform to further drive mass adoption of ownership in games as well as enhance the growth of its first game, Blankos Block Party.
Mythical Games’ CEO John Linden commented:
“NFTs and blockchain have risen as a prominent talking point in 2021, and Mythical has been at the forefront of bringing these technologies to the games industry. From our inception three years ago, our aim has been to drive mass adoption of ownership in games through projects including Blankos Block Party, our Economic Engine, and the Mythical Marketplace.”
Currently, Blankos Block Party is in the beta testing stage. This game has vinyl-style game characters that you earn while playing, buy, or sell. It has already started testing its marketplace where players can buy and sell their characters. Notably, you can customize the characters or decorate them with various things that you earn in the game.
Mythical Games is aiming to create world-class products that drive consumer adoption of distributed ledger technology through games. Providing a platform for game developers to create their own player-owned economies, Mythical Games also introduces new tools to facilitate ownership of in-game assets for content creators and brands.
In 2019, Mythical Games was one of Forbes Disruptive Technology Companies to Watch. Besides, it has been admitted as one of Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas this year.
