Games Using Immutable’s Networks Listed on the Epic Games Store
Crypto startup Immutable has developed two blockchain networks for gaming: Immutable X, a layer-2 Ethereum blockchain, and a zkEVM blockchain. These networks offer faster and cheaper on-chain interactions compared to Ethereum’s mainnet. Many games have adopted Immutable’s technology and are now available on the Epic Games Store, a popular PC gaming marketplace.
Avalon
Avalon is a medieval MMORPG set in an open-world environment. Players can create characters, craft items, complete quests, and explore a world filled with dragons and ships. Everything in Avalon, including characters and buildings, exists as NFTs. The game is expected to be released in 2024.
Blocklords
Blocklords is a medieval strategy and simulation MMO where players build and manage their own village. The game features “choose your own adventure” moments with consequences based on player decisions. Blocklords currently utilizes the Immutable X and Polygon blockchains for its optional NFTs.
Delysium
Delysium is a sci-fi MMORPG that incorporates both blockchain and AI elements. Players can vote on game changes using the ERC-20 governance token AGI and purchase NFTs on Immutable’s marketplace to customize their characters and weapons. The game is scheduled for release in 2025.
Illuvium
Illuvium is an open-world exploration and pet autobattler NFT game. It combines two games: Overworld, a third-person sci-fi exploration game, and Arena, a pet autobattler title. While the game is free-to-play, it utilizes the Immutable X blockchain for all its in-game NFTs.
Metalcore
Metalcore is a first-person sci-fi shooter and mech operating game. It uses the Immutable zkEVM blockchain to host its NFTs, which include vehicles, weapons, crafting elements, and other items.
Space Nation Online
Space Nation Online is an MMORPG in development with a sci-fi theme. While its current Epic Games Store listing does not indicate blockchain integration, there will be a blockchain version of the game that offers NFTs on the Immutable zkEVM network.
The Bornless
The Bornless is an upcoming first-person horror shooter game. Although it is not currently listed as a blockchain game on the Epic store, players will have different abilities to choose from and can participate in various shooter game modes.
Even More Games
In addition to the mentioned games, there are several other titles on the Epic store that use Immutable’s technology for their crypto elements. These include Age of Zalmoxis, The Lost Glitches, Aviatrix, Chain Monsters, and Citizen Conflict.
Honorable Mention: Gods Unchained
Gods Unchained is an NFT trading card game developed by Immutable. Although it was previously available on the Epic Games Store, it has since been removed. The reason for the removal is unclear, and it is uncertain if the game will return to the store in the future.
Hot Take: Expanding Crypto Gaming on the Epic Games Store
The inclusion of games utilizing Immutable’s networks on the Epic Games Store demonstrates a growing presence of blockchain-based gaming in mainstream platforms. By leveraging these networks, developers can offer unique gameplay experiences and incorporate NFTs into their games. This integration opens up new possibilities for players to own and trade in-game assets securely. As the popularity of crypto gaming continues to rise, we can expect to see more blockchain-powered games making their way onto major gaming platforms like the Epic Games Store.
