LOS ANGELES--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Next-generation gaming technology company Mythical Games today announced two new play-and-earn games coming to its proprietary blockchain-based platform in 2023; the trading-card game Epic Spell Wars: Magic Fight developed by CCG Lab, a leading video game developer of digital collectible games, based on the cult favorite franchise from Cryptozoic Entertainment, the popular creator of tabletop games, trading cards, and collectibles; and Nitro Nation - World Tour, a racing game from independent developer and publisher Creative Mobile. In Nitro Nation - World Tour, players will customize and upgrade their car, then race against other players for the chance to win their opponent’s car. Arriving on mobile in 2023, Nitro Nation - World Tour will take players across the globe while they collect, race, and own hundreds of fully licensed NFT cars from the world’s top brands. “We've been making racing games for over a decade now and are thrilled to innovate on our Nitro Nation franchise in partnership with Mythical. We will be bringing true ownership to the worldwide community of millions of competitive racing fans.” - Vladimir Funtikov (CEO and Co-Founder of Creative Mobile)
Trading card game Epic Spell Wars: Magic Fight will also arrive on PC in 2023. Built in partnership with Cryptozoic’s game development arm CCG Labs, the game is an intense card battle game where you can play and earn digital collectibles. “We are super excited to announce Epic Spell Wars: Magic Fight, an over-the-top collectible card game that uses NFT technology to deliver a brutal strategic card battler! And of course partnering with Mythical lets us leverage their best-in-class Blockchain platform and removes the heavy lifting to get this game to an all new digital audience.” - Cory Jones (Co-founder at Cryptozoic Entertainment)
Following the announcement of NFL Rivals in partnership with the National Football League (NFL) and NFL Players Association (NFLPA), this brings the total number of games offered on the Mythical Platform to four, including Mythical’s debut title Blankos Block Party which is currently in early access for PC and Mac. A full-service web3 technology system powering the next generation of players, games and studios, games on the Mythical Platform unlock the value of a player’s monetary and time-based efforts, or the rarity of their collection, by providing a way for them to sell their in-game items to other players. “We’re stoked to announce a milestone moment about to hit the horizon, where we embark on a new chapter with more games, stronger partnerships, and fun, outlandish experiences. Just like Nitro Nation has brought drag racing to the next level, we're partnering up and elevating the franchise to new heights with our proprietary blockchain technology in Nitro Nations World Tour. Then you’ll be able to take it to a whole other dimension with Epic Spell Wars: Magic Fight and battle to be the ultimate wizard. We’re thrilled to be crafting new stories, new angles and most importantly empowering people to play, own, and live out their fantasies whether it be as wizards, warriors, racers, or party animals.” - Jamie Jackson (Co-Founder, Chief Creative Officer, Mythical Games)
Mythical Platform protects gamers that may be new to blockchain through a custodial wallet for their digital items, while allowing advanced players the freedom to link their own wallets via bridges between the Mythical Chain and public mainnets. With its “gamers-first” focus, the Mythical Platform ensures players don’t need to dive into the intricacies of blockchain to enjoy ownership of their digital collections and have a great game experience.

The National Football League has announced a partnership with Mythical Games to create a blockchain video game called NFL Rivals. The game will use unique, generative 3D NFL franchise-themed NFTs and let players act as a general manager to assemble a team and compete against other teams. Given the explosive growth of blockchain games, this deal is no surprise and more will likely follow. As we addressed back in 2020, blockchain games are becoming a key driver of overall blockchain adoption. The use of sports-themed content licenses for blockchain games is not new. We worked with Lucid Sight in connection with its MLB-licensed blockchain game announced in 2018. Rivals is a continuation of the trend of major sports teams licensing content for NFT and other blockchain projects. Given the AAA game development experience of the team at Mythical, this will likely be a state-of-the-art blockchain video game. Other notable sports-related NFT license deals include Dapper Labs’ NBA Top Shot , which has been one of the most successful NFT collectible projects. This license deal is also a continuation of the more general trend of famous brands licensing their IP to Web3 companies for use with NFTs, metaverses, and other blockchain-related purposes. Licensing of IP for NFTs involves all of the traditional issues that arise when licensing IP and some NFT-specific issues as well. For example, we have covered some examples of legal issues and considerations that arise when brands are licensing their IP for NFTs. Other issues continue to arise. For example, while many of the early NFT license deals only granted users a personal, non-commercial license to use the digital asset associated with the NFT, there is a growing trend to grant NFT owners some commercialization rights. Another issue that may be relevant to blockchain games is the use of dynamic NFTs. Dynamic NFTs enable the metadata and even the digital asset associated with the NFT to change even after the initial sale. For an overview of dynamic NFTs, see this Chainlink article . The legal issues with dynamic NFTs can get quite complex. As we have previously discussed , there are also many legal issues to consider with blockchain games. For example, in addition to the IP-intensive issues, blockchain games need to be legally vetted for issues related to gambling, securities, money laundering, and other financial regulatory issues. The opportunities and growth in blockchain games, NFTs, and Web3 generally are exploding. But so too is the regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits. Anyone leveraging these opportunities should ensure a careful review of the legal issues involved.
