Web3 Soccer Meets Blockchain: FIFA Rivals Kicks Off This June!

by

Hold onto your soccer cleats, folks – Mythical Games is about to drop FIFA Rivals, and it’s not your grandma’s FIFA. 😎 This new Web3 mobile game, launching globally in June (because, why not sync it with the FIFA Club World Cup?), will have you kicking virtual goals and maybe even buying NFTs. Who knew blockchain and soccer could make such a weird but wonderful couple? ⚽💻

Get ready to play on iOS and Android (because, duh, who doesn’t have a phone these days?), with a cheeky pre-release in May to warm up those thumbs. Oh, and they’re teaming up with the Colombian studio Bacon Games – because who doesn’t love a good partnership with a side of crispy bacon? 🥓

Wen @FIFARivals, you ask? Oh, we got you! 🤔

Here’s the timeline:

– May: Select regions get a taste
– June: Global domination (we hope)

It’s almost FIFA Summer, baby! ⚽️

And let’s not forget Mythical Games’ previous win with “NFL Rivals” (yeah, nearly 3 million players, no big deal). With partnerships like these, Mythical is flexing in the Web3 space and showing that not all NFTs are as confusing as they seem. 🌐

Remember when FIFA tried its hand at Web3 with digital collectibles? Yeah, those might have given you a shot at World Cup tickets. A little less exciting than actual soccer, but still, perks are perks. 😉

With a whopping $150 million raised in 2021 (thanks a16z, Cathie Wood, and a bunch of other folks with too much money), Mythical is ready to turn Web3 gaming into the next big thing. Let’s hope FIFA Rivals is the game that hits all the right notes – blockchain and all. 🎮

Also, stay tuned for Pudgy Party (yes, that’s the name), based on the Pudgy Penguins NFT. Penguins, people. Penguins. 🐧

So, will FIFA Rivals be a goal or an own goal? Only time will tell. But we’re here for it. 🏆
