NFL and Mythical Games Unveil NFL Rivals Web3 game studio
Mythical Games officially launched the first Web3 technology-powered, NFL-licensed game. 'NFL Rivals'.
On August 24, the Kickoff program went live - "
bringing the Mythical Marketplace to the NFL Rivals app for all players to participate in the game economy we’re all building together," a blog post said.
This will be a phased release:
multiple versions of the marketplace integration will be released in the coming months. In the meantime, the team will be running more tests in order
to improve the game.
In this first phase
, they rolled out the buy functionality in the in-game marketplace.
In collaboration
with the NFL and the NFL Players Association, NFL Rivals was first released in April in early access mode - called
the Offseason - to allow the team to observe
the feedback and improve the game for several months.
"The incredible reception by fans during the pre-season of NFL Rivals blew us away," said Mythical Games
CEO John Linden, as reported by VentureBeat.
