- Blockchain Game FIFA Rivals Born from Collaboration between FIFA and Mythical Games
- Launching Summer 2025, available on iOS and Android platforms, powered by the Polkadot network
[Unblock Media] A blockchain game titled 'FIFA Rivals,' arising from the collaboration between FIFA and Mythical Games, is set to be launched in the summer of 2025. This free soccer game will be available on iOS and Android platforms, offering gamers the opportunity to manage their own soccer clubs and compete against other players in real-time matches.
John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, is optimistic that this game could attract over 100 million gamers to the Web3 space. This expectation is based on the success of Mythical Games' previous game, NFL Rivals, which recorded over 3 million downloads. NFL Rivals garnered attention shortly after its release, raising the likelihood that FIFA Rivals may achieve similar success.
FIFA Rivals will be powered by the Mythos blockchain and the Polkadot network. This allows for a play-to-earn economic system where in-game assets can be owned and monetized. Players can own and trade football players and items through in-game NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
The impact of blockchain technology on the gaming industry is noteworthy. For instance, Mythical's early success with Blankos Block Party demonstrates this, as the game currently sees about 3 million transactions per month. Blockchain technology offers new revenue generation opportunities through the pay-to-earn model and enhances user engagement by ensuring ownership of in-game assets. This illustrates how blockchain games like FIFA Rivals differ from traditional games and the new value they provide.
Furthermore, FIFA Rivals came to fruition with the support of the Mythos Foundation. Established in October 2022, this organization aims to attract and support new gamers and developers within the Web3 ecosystem. The Mythos Foundation focuses on building cross-chain infrastructure, providing NFT game economies, supporting gaming guilds, and increasing traditional esports involvement in Web3.
Finally, Mythical Games secured $37 million through Series C1 funding in June 2023. This fund is primarily used to expand the game's ecosystem and develop new revenue models, including building marketplaces and other income-generating activities.
In summary, FIFA Rivals is a project centered on the potential of blockchain games, the new economic systems generated, and the novel experiences it offers gamers. The collaboration between Mythical Games and FIFA is one to watch closely for its prospective success.
