ImmutableX adds 15 blockchain games to its Web3 platform

ImmutableX has added 15 games to the collection of blockchain titles that it operates with its Web3 platform.

Immutable, the Sydney, Australia company that created the ImmutableX Layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum, said that large Web3 projects are either launching or migrating to the platform.

These range from the playable triple-A game Delysium to DC Comics’ superheroes such as Batman and Superman. As a Layer 2 solution, ImmutableX can lower costs and speed up transactions on the Ethereum blockchain network, the company says. It also provides greater stability, scalability and security – and these are the reasons why projects move over.

Cross the Ages, Delysium and Ember Sword were originally developed on the Ethereum scaling platform Polygon, but ultimately chose ImmutableX, Immutable said.

Delysium is a play-and-earn massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Set in a dynamically generated, AI-powered open-world experience, the playable game is player-owned and allows players to become a full part of the ecosystem, Immutable said.

Meanwhile, the collapse of the Terra Network saw games such as Deviants’ Factions, Undead Blocks, Tatsumeeko and StarHeroes move to ImmutableX. Nifty League moved from Ethereum Layer-1. Developers have found migration a simple task, noting that they can easily implement Immutable APIs for a vertically integrated “one-stop shop” solution, Immutable said.

Projects porting to ImmutableX also cite the need for a fully dedicated game chain that takes advantage of the network effects of Ethereum while incurring little or no gas fees or debilitating transaction latency.

In another draw for projects, Immutable launched a $500 million developer and venture capital fund in June, the company said. The fund was designed to accelerate the growth of the ImmutableX protocol by providing investment support and blockchain gaming expertise, including direct access to tokenomics advice, game design, and community and marketing support.

ImmutableX also attracts brand new projects in addition to those migrating from other ecosystems. In March, Cartamundi and Warner Bros. announced Consumer Products’ launch of new hybrid physical and NFT trading cards based on legendary superheroes such as Batman and Superman – with their digital parts embossed on ImmutableX.

And in August, Belarusian-American entrepreneur and internet personality Gary Vaynerchuk — creator of NFT collection VeeFriends — revealed a series of gamified book games on ImmutableX.

“Having so many top-tier Web3 projects choosing to build on ImmutableX is great recognition for what we’re building—and we’re just getting started,” Robbie Ferguson, president of Immutable, said in a statement. “I’m very excited about the scope of projects partnering with Immutable and the pace they’re coming along. As Immutable brings the next billion players to web3, continuing to build the most scalable, secure and developer-friendly network will be critical to making that possible for builders to bring their creative visions to life.”

The company’s own Immutable Games Studio has served as a petri dish for the platform for the past four years. The games included the old title Gods Unchained and the upcoming Guild of Guardians.

“We are witnessing a demand for security, stability and scalability in the industry, which is why many partners are joining ImmutableX. Our gas-free and carbon-neutral environment, 99.99% network uptime and vertically integrated APIs for game studios provide reliability , streamlined integration and an overall better user experience for gamers. We believe this trend will continue as the web3 industry grows,” said Ferguson. “That’s why we go beyond infrastructure solutions, offering additional consulting services, white glove launch and assistance post-launch, and a world-class support team.”

ImmutableX utilizes ZK roll-up technology from Starkware. And it’s the platform for Web3 games like Guild of Guardians, Illuvium, Embersword, Planet Quest and many more.
