Sky Mavis Announces Kaidro, an Anime-Style RPG on Ethereum’s Ronin Blockchain
Sky Mavis, the creator of the Ronin blockchain and Axie Infinity game, has revealed their latest project: Kaidro, an anime-style role-playing game based on the webcomic by Gadget-Bot Productions. Originally planned for release on Immutable X, Kaidro will now be exclusively available on Ronin.
Kaidro is set in a post-apocalyptic world where players use mechs and magic to battle enemies. The gameplay involves teams of three players competing in both player-versus-player and player-versus-environment modes across different maps and objectives.
In addition to the game, Gadget-Bot is collaborating with writer Tim Hedrick (known for his work on “Avatar: The Last Airbender” and “Voltron: Legendary Defender”) on an animated Kaidro TV series. The studio has also partnered with musical duo Odesza to create the game’s trailer.
Gadget-Bot was co-founded by Peggy Chung and Robert Simons, who have extensive film and video game credits. They saw Web3 as a way to give ownership to their fanbase and involve them in the development of the Kaidro world through NFTs.
This announcement coincides with the launch of PIXEL token by Pixels, currently the most popular game on Ronin. The token generated over a billion dollars in trading volume within a day of its launch, propelling it into the top 10 among all cryptocurrencies.
Hot Take: Kaidro Expands Ronin’s Gaming Universe
The introduction of Kaidro adds another exciting dimension to the Ethereum gaming sidechain Ronin. With its anime-style graphics and post-apocalyptic setting, Kaidro offers a unique gaming experience for crypto enthusiasts. The collaboration with renowned writer Tim Hedrick and musical duo Odesza further enhances the game’s appeal.
Gadget-Bot’s decision to release Kaidro exclusively on Ronin showcases the platform’s potential and growing popularity among gamers. Combined with the success of PIXEL token, Ronin is cementing its position as a leading blockchain for gaming.
