Mythical Games is a blockchain-based video game development company founded in 2018. They recently raised $ 16 million in venture capital funds for the development of their project.

Their team consists of former developers of Activision, Yahoo, and Blizzard. The current CEO is John Linden, former Activision executive for Call of Duty and former head of Seismic Games, recently acquired by Niantic Lab, the creators of Pokemon GO to be clear.

The model that wants to follow Mythical Games is the one already adopted by giants such as World of Warcraft, Ultima Online or Clash Royale: give users the opportunity to buy in-game items in exchange for real money. A business model that has made billions to the various founding companies of the aforementioned games.

In a recent speech at a meeting in Helsinki for blockchain-based video games, Linden states:

I think the blockchain for video games is nothing revolutionary, because currently the world of video games is expanding and that's fine, we can call it more like an evolution.

Mythical Games will develop games on the blockchain of EOS since most of the funds received come from Galaxy Digital's EOS VC. The CEO of Galaxy Digital's EOS VC is the billionaire crypto Mike Novogratz who said:

"We believe that gaming - and in particular the interaction of players with in-game economies and virtual assets - will play a key role in the way the masses first discover the true potential of the blockchain. in the construction of rich and engaging game worlds it will be invaluable for this mission. "

The first video game developed by Mythical will be released in 2019 and will be called Blankos. They are giving a giveaway for those who pre-register on their site but they are not sure yet what it is, they will probably give some items that can be purchased later. If you are interested in the world of blockchain video games, you should take a look at Worldopo, a mobile game that combines augmented reality with the blockchain for a real-world-style monopoly experience. I leave you with a video of the Blankos launch trailer!
