Plague Hunters is a free game which already complies with Play Station’s all terms and conditions. It will be launched with a P2P market feature.

Additionally, as there are numerous Blockchain games in the market, it will be advantageous for the industry to welcome it in the primary gaming market.

The in-game assets like units and weapons can be purchased by Ethereum Blockchain’s Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT). It is planned to launch the game in the first quarter of 2019. Nintendo Switch and PC (Personal Computer) versions will also be available. Furthermore, the developer also plans to release the mobile and Xbox One versions.

Plague Hunters is not the only one!

Learnings of the game developers from the Blockchain technology may contribute to the overall efficiency of the games. For example; the multi-player survival game “Fortnite” has announced that they have earned more than 1 billion USD from the in-game purchases.

And now, Mythical Games, which is one of the leading game developers is working on a Blockchain-based gaming platform. This gaming enterprise has reached 16 million USD in Series-A funding. Besides, they will integrate EOSIO Blockchain for player trades rather than Ethereum.

CEO of Mythical Games, John Linden, stated that:

We believe these new economics will come to dominate gaming.
