OpenBlox, a gaming platform based on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, is introducing its present and upcoming titles to Avalanche. This ecosystem is known as Bloxverse, consisting of a shared development team, token and in-game elements that link multiple games. RunBlox has already been released by OpenBlox with three more in progress.
RunBlox, which is powered by Avalanche and lets users earn tokens through walking, jogging and running, has seen 10,000 active daily users since its Q2 launch. To get started on the move-to-earn title, players must first pick out a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) shoe that comes with hit points to represent its durability – much like physical running shoes that wear down with use.
OpenBlox is devoted to creating games that link the digital and tangible realms, and that unite people. In the future, OpenBlox intends to introduce a Subnet. Blizzard the Avalanche Fund has made a shrewd investment in OpenBlox.
“Having backers at Ava Labs that understand scalability and user experience in all market conditions is fundamental to our growth. Blizzard’s support and shared vision for bringing health and fitness to the masses is pivotal to the growth of RunBlox and the OpenBlox ecosystem.”
– OpenBlox’s Chief Communication Officer, Sunil Chauhan
All three of OpenBlox’s forthcoming games will take advantage of the speed, low fees, and reliability that Avalanche offers. These games are:
- RogueBlox — a turn-based, deck-builder card game in which players send Blox creatures to battle against one another. (Target release: Q3 2022.)
- ActionBlox — an MMORPG with guilds, fighting, and mastering challenges.
- LandBlox — a farming-style game set in an open world, where you can plant seeds won in RogueBlox battles, sell fruit in a marketplace, or use fruit to recover your characters in ActionBlox and RogueBlox.
“We are excited to welcome OpenBlox to the Avalanche ecosystem. The project’s games have some incredible crossover elements in development, and these will not only help to expand what has been done in blockchain games, but should make for some cool gameplay. I believe that supporting the OpenBlox universe will be a showcase of what Avalanche can do, and that OpenBlox will bring a crop of new gamers to the Avalanche network.”
– Lydia Chiu, VP of Business Development at Ava Labs, on behalf of Blizzard
