- XP (NASDAQ:XP) Foundry, a web3 game studio, has announced that it is migrating the on-chain assets of its free-to-play title Rooniverse to ImmutableX.
- The developers opted to move from Solana to ImmutableX to leverage the platform's gas-free minting and growing ecosystem of games.
With the rising number of projects on the platform, ImmutableX’s suite of tools could be hard to resist for most game developers as the gaming platform continues to expand.
Growing the ImmutableX Gaming Ecosystem
Top games like Illuvium and Gods Unchained, are some of the many projects using ImmutableX’s arsenal of tools to enhance gaming experiences. Additionally, there’s a rising trend of seasoned veterans from traditional gaming leading projects on the web3 gaming platform.
The gas-free minting, carbon neutrality, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) support, and growing list of top games in the space are attracting game studios, old and new, to the platform.
Even XP Foundry, led by the former director of technology at Unity Studios, James Finley, has opted for ImmutableX and its extensive list of perks and benefits.
Andrew Sorokovsky, VP of Global Business Development at Immutable, shared,
We are extremely excited that XP Foundry and its debut web3 title Rooniverse are joining the ever-growing ImmutableX family. The partnership will greatly help both Immutable and XP Foundry onboard millions of mobile gamers together with a combination of chaotic fun and frictionless blockchain integrations to support what really matters: ownership, trading, and interoperability." With the transition of Rooniverse’s asset to ImmutableX, the game will now offer numerous user-friendly features, such as faster transaction speeds, zero-free minting for characters, and improved security.
Moreover, XP Foundry will also gain access to ImmutableX’s technical expertise in the web3 space as well as the team’s hands-on experience working with other web3 gaming studios through Immutable Gaming Studios.
Germán Palau, XP Foundry's co-Founder and co-CEO, commented,
There are superb blockchains and L2s out there, but I am a big believer in platforms that niche down and focus on catering to a specific industry segment. Through our many conversations, Immutable has shown us that they clearly 'get it' when it comes to understanding mainstream gamers and getting rid of the 'NFT stigma' that prevents open adoption. We love using blockchain integrations as features for our game, and for this reason, I think we're making the best long-term decision for the game.
