MARBLEX finds new home on Immutable
zkEVM bringing Netmarble IP, Exclusive development of Future
Titles, and the Ecosystem Boost Program
SYDNEY, June 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Immutable, the leading web3
gaming platform, and ecosystem, today announced a groundbreaking
partnership with MARBLEX, Netmarble's dedicated blockchain gaming
platform. This collaboration will see the migration of MARBLEX
along with several other Mega IP titles, to the innovative
Immutable zkEVM chain, powered by Polygon, and the first chain
built specifically for gamers.
The partnership includes the migration of the full MARBLEX
gaming platform and three live Netmarble titles:
- Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, an MMORPG based on the original
universe of Ni no Kuni where the real world and the fantasy world
coexist, presenting a world filled with fairytale-like animations
with colorful 3D graphics and high-quality cutscenes.
- A3: Still Alive: a dark fantasy open world mobile RPG set in an
apocalyptic fantasy world of swords and sorcery, pairing the
enormous and living worlds of Open-World RPGs with the extreme
combat of Battle Royale.
- Meta World: My City, the sequel
to the highly popular game Let's Get Rich, which attracted over 200
million players around the world; it features board game mechanics
and the opportunity to have virtual land and buildings in the
metaverse.
Following the migration from the Klaytn Layer 1 chain, all
MARBLEX gaming apps, games, and game tokens will operate
exclusively on Immutable zkEVM alongside more than 330 titles
already building on Immutable. With more than 1.8 million monthly
average users, Immutable zkEVM remains the go-to choice for
developers and gamers through its robust offerings - from Immutable
Passport - a non-custodial wallet built for players to the
Immutable Global Orderbook which distributes assets across leading
marketplaces boosting exposure and liquidity for devs.
"This is one of the most significant partnerships we've made
to date. South Korea is an
exciting hub of developer activity in Web3 Gaming, and MARBLEX and
NetMarble are pioneers here -- we're thrilled to be helping
their goal to scale to tens of millions of players around the world
as they migrate to Immutable, the one-stop shop platform for Web3
Games," said Robbie Ferguson,
Co-founder and President of Immutable. "This deal follows our
landmark partnerships with Polygon Labs, and 350+ signed games to
cement Immutable's leadership of Web3 Gaming, and commitment to
help bring digital property rights to billions of players around
the world."
In addition, Immutable and MARBLEX have launched the "Ecosystem
Boost Program" which provides technical and financial support for
developers. With the equivalent of up to $20
million USD earmarked, the program is designed to
supercharge game development and attract new titles to the
Immutable and MARBLEX ecosystems.
"At MARBLEX we are committed to building exciting web3 gaming
experiences for players," says Hong Jin
Pyo, CEO." To maximise the reach of these experiences
and ensure scalability for both existing and upcoming titles,
partnering with a proven leader in web3 gaming was crucial. That's
why Immutable and their industry-leading zkEVM chain was the right
choice. Their technology provides the infrastructure we need to
deliver the best possible gaming experiences to our
players."
MARBLEX marks the second major AAA partnership with Immutable,
with a slate of future releases planned to come to Immutable, the
web3 gaming platform stands to lead the industry with an impressive
roadmap of upcoming games.
