Zynga is among the largest game companies in the world. The company has many games on mobile platforms, and each game ranks high in the application markets thanks to its high download numbers.
Especially the development of NFT and cryptocurrencies added the gaming industry. The number of NFT-based games has been increasing lately. According to the statement, Zynga will appear with an NFT-based game.
Zynga will develop an NFT based game!
At a time when NFT-based games are increasing, a statement came from the blockchain chief of the famous game company Zynga, Matt Wolf. In a statement to Axios, he said that the famous game company will launch an NFT-based game this year. Many people were excited after the announcement.
Zynga has been investing in blockchain-based games for a long time. The company announced in its statement that by the end of this year, the 15-person blockchain-based game development team will be increased to 100 people. This shows us that the company is working on a blockchain-based game.
Matt Wolf, in his statement, stated that it is ridiculous to add NFT to games such as FarmVille that are already on the market. He said that the games to be released will appear under a new title. He explained that new NFT games could be similar to games like Mafia Wars where players can form criminal gangs.
Wolf said that game developers can get involved in NFT projects whenever they want. This shows that the company aims to prevent internal protests by learning from famous companies such as EA and Ubisoft. Despite the criticism, NFT and blockchain games are considered the next step in Zynga’s evolution.
Additionally, blockchain chief Matt Wolf said in his statement: “Our goal is to expand Zynga’s audience reach and drive stronger engagement and retention by creating an integrated experience that lets players become managers on their gaming journeys.”
Also speaking to the New York Times, Wolf stated that blockchain games are extremely difficult. So, what are your thoughts? What do you think about NFT based games? Don’t forget to share your views in the comments section and on the SDN Forum.
