The game's uniqueness stems from the fact that each card is symbolized by a non-fungible token (NFT) residing on the Ethereum Layer-2 network, Immutable X. Since its launch in June 2019, the game has seen substantial growth, boasting 80,000 weekly active players.
Daniel Paez, the executive producer of Gods Unchained, views this recent listing on Epic Games Store as a monumental step in the game's evolution. Paez emphasized:
It is hard to overestimate the significance of Gods Unchained’s launch on Epic Games Store, one of the largest PC gaming platforms in the world. We are extremely excited to present our game to a completely new and truly massive audience of traditional PC gamers and TCG enthusiasts.
Serving as a robust distribution platform for digital games, Epic Games Store is a competitor to platforms like Steam or GOG.com. As highlighted in their "2022 Year in Review" report, Epic Games Store is a hub for over 230 million PC gaming enthusiasts seeking their next virtual adventure.
Web3 gaming publishers, such as Immutable, are consistently pushing back against the antagonism from Steam, the world's leading PC game distributor. October 2021 saw Steam declaring a lack of support for Web3 games, even going as far as removing Age of Rust for offering exclusive benefits to its NFT holders.
The listing of Gods Unchained on the Epic Games Store underscores the growing acceptance of Web3 games in the mainstream gaming industry, marking another win for the blockchain gaming realm.
At the beginning of June, a sports video game publisher, EA Sports, unveiled plans to incorporate Nike's NFT platform .Swoosh into its platform.
