Gaming is one of the easiest way for Cryptos to reach mass adoption. Gamers are already sold on the idea of Digital Goods.
New Gaming companies are being formed in the Blockchain Space on a daily basis.
I just tried out EOS Knights, add me "cryptolemon2" if you want 1000 free Magic water. This is the most "achieved" game available right now but a new wave is coming. These new games will mostly be on EOS or ETH sidechains and will test the network robustness.
I believe EOS has a little edge over ETH for now but let the Blockchain Games fight begin !
Mythical Games, a new Los Angeles-headquartered game studio, announced on Friday that it has secured $16 million in a Series-A financing round. The funds will support the development and co-production of blockchain-powered games for mobile devices, PCs and consoles. The round was led by Galaxy Digital and included Okcoin, Javelin Venture Partners, Divergence Digital, Fenbushi and Noris.
Blankos Block Party is a multiplayer video game on the EOS blockchain. It aims to recreate the concept of a virtual economy by adding cryptocurrency to the gaming experience.
The game was created Mythical Games in Los Angeles, California and is scheduled to come out in 2019.
I think this could truly be a great game, it looks like a PUBG / Fortnite copycats with very personalized characters.
Also, we can see the professional game developpers working on previous big hits (WoW, CoD...) coming to the Blockchain space and seeing the opportunity.
Fuel Games, another blockchain-powered game development company that was founded earlier this year, released an official gameplay trailer on Thursday for its upcoming title “Gods Unchained.” The startup raised $2.4 million in seed funding in May and is backed by Coinbase Ventures, Continue Capital, Sora Ventures and Nirvana Capital.
As I understood correctly, the game will run on top of ETH sidechains.
“Gods Unchained” is a competitive collectible trading card game, like a cross between “Magic: The Gathering,” “Hearthstone” and “Crypto Kitties.” Fuel Games also announced on Thursday that it will begin rolling out a closed beta of the game “over the next week or two.”
It could be a strong competitor to @Steemmonsters. At least @Steemmonsters is already out and improving everyday ! And it has the STEEM community behind which is one of the biggest (in numbers).
