Summary
Gaming company Mythical has released its new football game FIFA Rivals, which is now available to download on smartphones.
The free-to-play game allows users to build their ideal football team and compete against others in real-time, as well as trading player collectibles through blockchain technology.
While the game is Mythical’s first foray into the world of football, its existing title NFL Rivals – a hybrid web2/web3 game – has seen seven million downloads to date, with 60,000 daily users engaging with the marketplace.
CEO John Linden said the company is considering dropping the “Web3” terminology from its description of games, as players are increasingly unaware of the distinction.
Separately, Epic Games is said to be developing a direct payment system for in-app purchases for Android phones, in a challenge to Apple and Google’s dominance.
