Mythical Games’ Licensed NFT Rivals is Now Available on iOS and Android
This week saw the early access release of a new type of NFL/NLPA-licensed game as Mythical Games launched NFL Rivals, the league’s first Web3 game. A full global launch will happen during the fall; however, it is now available on Google Play and the Apple App Store. This is Mythical’s first athletic game, which utilizes the Ethereum-compatible sidechain on Mythical. It uses &MYTH NFTs for cards that players can use to trade and make purchases within the game.
In the fantasy football game NFL Rivals, players take on the role of team general managers (GMs), execute games, and attempt to defeat other teams. While NFL Rivals features a free-to-play option, users will also have access to Mythical’s online marketplace to buy, sell, and trade certain game characters (NFL players) as NFTs.
Players have the ability to fill their rosters with their favorite characters, thanks to Mythical’s complete licensing of its NFL clubs and characters. Each character has distinctive abilities, shortcomings, and a given rarity level. Currently, the cost of an NFT character can be anywhere between $8 for a “common” player and thousands of dollars for a “legendary” player.
According to Mythical CEO John Linden in a talk with a sports medium, the general manager game with arcade-style simulation fulfills fans’ ambitions to operate their own NFL club as a manager. With the NFL’s introduction of the game, fans will be able to own, collect, and trade digital items that enable access to exclusive events, in-game incentives, and other special features. The game also incorporates Web3 virtual ownership with in-game functionality.
Linden said: “It’s locked and loaded, ready to go. You can play the entire game 100% just mobile and never sell anything or trade anything and just play it.”
Linden claimed that Mythical frequently held meetings with app stores to obtain permission to combine Web2 and Web3 games. He claimed that the platforms have faith in Mythical to attract players, safeguard them during blockchain transactions, and still provide advancements for Web3 gameplay. According to him, the parties figured out mutually beneficial procedures for Web2/Web3 gaming.
Apart from the Apple and Google stores, Mythical runs its own app store marketplace for Web3 players. To increase visitors to an app store, Mythical also provides exclusive discount cards. The blockchain is optional in such a Web2 and Web3 context.
NFT Rivals game
NFL Rivals is a mobile football game that is designed to give players the ultimate experience of building their dream NFL roster. As a general manager, you’ll have access to a wide range of football stars, including new draft picks that will morph into their corresponding players on May 1. The game is set to be in early access mode for the first few months while the developers take in feedback and make improvements before the official NFL kickoff later this year.
To create their ideal NFL roster, players can unlock a range of characters in the form of football stars. Players are in charge of selecting their starting lineups and designing game plans as the general manager. Additionally, the game features a special point system that raises the Rookie cards’ power ratings in accordance with their accomplishments during the 2023 season.
The game has gathered roughly 150,000 players over the course of its two-month soft release. Mythical is conducting limited-run NFT promotional events this week in partnership with the NFL Draft. Additionally, Mythical held a presale of the Super Bowl team characters from the Chiefs and Eagles during the game. At this point, the NFT trading turnover is in the tens of thousands of dollars.
The play-and-own video game approach is being established by NFL Rivals, which lets players own, collect, and trade in-game items as they create their teams. According to Linden, Mythical Games’ “gamer-first” concept allows players genuine control over the gameplay and in-game material.
OneTeam Collaborates to Assist in Licensing
Linden also acknowledged the huge transaction volume: We’re seeing a steady growth of transaction volume. And we’ve now kind of overtaken Ethereum in terms of the digital asset transactions. We wanted to make sure we had something that would truly scale. So we had to partner with somebody who can scale and have stronger governance and security.”
He claimed that after working on interoperability, the corporation has decided to switch the Mythical to the Polka Dot update. Mythical will have access to Ethereum virtual computers thanks to Polka Dot.
In addition to what will be announced during the summer, the corporation may advocate for the industry by promoting innovative technology. Mexico and Canada have seen the most play in the game. Mythical is revolutionizing to become a platform for governance that is stronger for privacy and interoperability.
NFT Rivals released on the Mythical platform seeks to protect players unfamiliar with blockchain technology while also granting experienced players the freedom to connect their own wallets and perform transactions safely.
