The first NFT-based game, Blankos Block Party, has been added to the marketplace by Epic Games, the Fortnite developers. The Web3 game is the first NFT-powered game released on the Epic Games store. In 2020, Mythical Games released Blankos Block Party's beta version. According to the developers, the game has accumulated more than a million players. The game is not the last to debut on the Epic Games store using NFT. The Western-themed shooter Grit, developed by Gala Games, was previously revealed as the first NFT title on Epic Games. However, it is not yet accessible.
Blankos Block Party - A Colorful Online World
In Blankos Block Party, users can interact and play in an innovative online environment inspired by the designer and vinyl toys culture. In the game, NFTs are used to symbolize items like avatar styles and accessories that can be purchased and traded through the game's marketplace. Since its release, the game has enlisted several corporate and artistic partners for limited-edition releases, including Deadmau5, Burberry, and Atari. NFT ownership is not necessary to participate in the game.
Web3 Gaming Approached "Differently"
Contrary to its opponent, Valve's Steam marketplace, Epic Games Store has adopted a different strategy for Web3 gaming, boasting more than 194 million total players by the end of 2021. The edition of Blankos Block Party that went live on the Epic Games Store is similar to the one that can be played via the game's official website in terms of functionality. Both games are now in their "early access stage." The entire game will debut across platforms on September 28 with new features.
Mythical Platform - EOS.IO Blockchain
With a bridge to Ethereum, Blankos Block Party runs on the studio's Mythical Platform. Mythical runs on the EOS.IO blockchain and is building several other games, such as NFL Rivals. Recently, it secured $150 million at a $1.25 billion value in November.
