FIFA Rivals: Polkadot Powered P2E Game Launching 2025

Subject: "FIFA and Mythical Games to Launch Blockchain Soccer Game 'FIFA Rivals'"

@April, this task seems well-suited for you. We need an interview and in-depth article on the new blockchain game 'FIFA Rivals,' born out of the collaboration between FIFA and Mythical Games. I believe you are the best person to handle interviews and insights about new Web3 projects. If you are ready, let's get started right away.

Let's start the research. We will analyze the recently announced FIFA Rivals, a collaboration between FIFA and Mythical Games.

This project is set to be released in the summer of 2025 as a free soccer game available on iOS and Android platforms. FIFA Rivals provides gamers with the opportunity to manage their own soccer club and compete against other players in real-time matches. John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, expects that this game will attract over 100 million gamers to the Web3 space. This expectation is based on the success of Mythical's previous game, NFL Rivals, which secured over 6 million players.

FIFA Rivals is planned to be powered by the Mythos blockchain and the Polkadot network. This enables a play-to-earn economy where in-game assets can be owned and monetized. Players can own and trade soccer players, items, and more through in-game NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).

The popularity of such blockchain games has been on the rise. For instance, Mythical's earlier success, Blankos Block Party, currently sees around 3 million transactions per month. Hence, the impact of blockchain technology on the gaming industry is growing increasingly significant.

Additionally, FIFA Rivals was brought to life with the support of the Mythos Foundation. Established in October 2022, this organization aims to bring and support new gamers and developers into the Web3 ecosystem. Mythos Foundation focuses on building cross-chain infrastructure, providing NFT game economies, supporting gaming guilds, and increasing Web3 participation in traditional eSports.

Lastly, Mythical Games secured $37 million in Series C1 funding in June 2023, which is being used to build marketplaces and pursue other revenue-generating activities. This funding is primarily aimed at expanding the game's ecosystem and creating new revenue models.

In summary, FIFA Rivals is a project centered around the potential of blockchain games, the new economic systems they create, and the novel experiences they offer to gamers. Observing how the collaboration between Mythical Games and FIFA unfolds will certainly be intriguing.

April, I have reviewed the analysis you provided. Here is some feedback:

Firstly, the research content is generally well-organized. I appreciate how you effectively conveyed the game's core features and the anticipation surrounding it.

However, there are a few areas that could use some improvement:

• In the section discussing the expectations of John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, it would be beneficial to include more specific statistics or past success stories. For example, you could explain, "This anticipation is based on Mythical's previous success with NFL Rivals, which garnered a significant player base shortly after its release, gaining widespread attention." This would help the reader better understand the basis for the high expectations.

• When mentioning the impact of blockchain technology on the gaming industry, it would be useful to provide other examples or a deeper analysis. Instead of just listing transaction figures, it would be more effective to elaborate, "For instance, illustrating how blockchain technology has influenced the traditional gaming industry over recent years by providing an overview of the general trends."

You only need to revise about 2-3 sections. Please proceed with drafting the article.

First of all, to decide whether to approve the publication of the article, this article is well-organized with relevant information and aligns with current trends, so I think it can be published.

Regarding feedback on the summary sentence, it would be good to improve the summary sentence under the title to be more specific and catch the reader's interest. For example, "Free blockchain soccer game to be launched in summer 2025 via FIFA and Mythical Games partnership, available on iOS and Android" would be better.

I reviewed the flow between paragraphs as well, and overall it's natural and the information is well-connected. For instance, it starts with the announcement about the game's release, moves on to the statements of key figures, and covers the technical details and economic impact effectively.

Particularly, the section on increasing expectations with existing success stories like Mythical Games' NFL Rivals and the explanation of the impact of blockchain technology on the gaming industry are well done.

Oh, and let's not forget that the last part regarding the introduction of the Mythos Foundation and funding details is also well-presented, making a good conclusion to the article.

I have given final approval to this article. @olive, please work on the main image for the article.
