What’s new? Representatives of developer Gala Games have announced that the company’s blockchain games will be available for purchase on the Epic Games Store. The first game will be GRIT, an online third-person shooter set in the Wild West. It is built on the Unreal Engine, and also uses blockchain to authenticate unique in-game items and allows players to trade NFTs. The developers have not yet announced a release date, but Epic Games Store users can add the game to their wishlist.
What else is known about GRIT? The game will allow users to engage in showdowns and shootouts, and various modes will allow them to team up with other players and squads.
Gala Games has also released 10 000 avatars in the form of non-fungible tokens for users, offering a unique look and various customization elements. The sale of NFTs will begin on June 6 during the Galaverse event. The company’s president John Osvald noted:
“Gala Games’ titles being available on the Epic Game Store brings legitimacy to this new genre of gaming. Easy access to Web3 games is a turning point for those players who have not yet seen how digital ownership can enrich the gaming experience.”
In April, Epic Games, a developer of computer games, and the Lego Group, a manufacturer of plastic construction toys, partnered to create their own “a family-friendly” metaverse.
Square Enix, a Japanese developer company, sold its subsidiary studios to invest in “blockchain, AI, and the cloud.” The sale of Crystal Dynamics, responsible for developing the Tomb Raider game series, as well as two other studios, Eidos-Montréal and Square Enix Montréal, brought in $300 million.
