Top Stories
Dogecoin Gaming Surge: Playsout plans to release around 15 Dogecoin-themed mini-games through 2025, starting in August. These games will be available via the Mydoge wallet and the Playouto mobile app, utilizing the DoGeos application layer on the Dogecoin blockchain.
The game will include Doge Token rewards through leaderboards, quests, and competitions, while allowing items to be traded as Dogecoin NFTs, sometimes called Doginals. Covering various genres, from life simulators to puzzles, these games aim to be accessible not just for token holders, but to bring real-world utility to dogcoins.
By adapting successful WeChat games from China for Western audiences, Playsout is pursuing licensing to incorporate Gologl Intellectual Property into its Dogecoin gaming ecosystem. They want to demonstrate meaningful uses for this meme coin while promoting Doge Culture.
FIFA Rivals Launch: The mobile blockchain soccer game, FIFA Rivals, developed by Mythical Games, went live on iOS and Android this past Thursday. The studio believes this title could be twenty times more popular than NFL Rivals, aiming for a large player base, given that soccer has about 5 billion fans.
The game features a multi-year licensing agreement with Adidas, which covers collectible gear and sponsorships with athletes like Lionel Messi. Built on the Mythos blockchain, players will be able to trade in-game assets freely. Mythical Games also seeks to secure a FIFA contract across several World Cups and plans to introduce AI sports agents, esports competitions, and new game modes throughout the year.
