VulcanVerse Beta, New Animoca Game & Blankos at E3 2021 - Play to Earn #77
Atari launched its new blockchain console, and I discovered a cool medieval strategy game!
This week the video game industry had its yearly E3 event. If you’re into video games, it’s a great event. However, from the entire E3 2021 there was only one blockchain games announcement: Blankos. It sure looks like the play-to-earn and blockchain gaming industry needs its own event to highlight the latest developments. Now guess what? It does. This July we are organizing the third Play to Earn Game Festival. Expect a lot more news in the coming weeks, and developers feel free to reach out. — Robert Hoogendoorn

Blankos Capitalizes on E3 Hype with NFT Drop
Sometimes you hardly write about a project, and now we wrote about Blankos twice. First they had some partnership announcement at E3, including one with Burberry and Deadmau5. After that some new Blankos hit the NFT store. — Read more here
Blockchain-powered Atari VCS in Stores Now
People don’t actually sleep in front of stores to get their hands on the Atari VCS, and therefore you probably don’t even know it’s out in stores. Frankly, its supply is limited to a few stores, and mostly in the US. However, it’s worth talking about the Atari VCS, because it’s the first gaming console with a built-in crypto wallet. At least the promo shots look pretty sexy. — Learn more about the Atari VCS
Sotheby’s to Auction Internet Source Code as NFT
The amount of NFT artwork content on Play to Earn has dropped quite a bit in recent months. There’s just too much to cover and too many great artist dropping NFTs. However, I do cherry pick sometimes. This week auction house Sotheby’s announced the auction of an NFT, containing the source code of the internet! Yup, written by Tim Berners-Lee. That’s pretty legendary. — Learn more about this NFT auction
VulcanVerse Goes into Beta Next Month
One of our last partners at the Play to Earn Game Festival, was Vulcan Forged and their MMORPG VulcanVerse. Now the team has announced that their game is launching into beta soon. It’s an interesting project with a strong DeFi-powered token, landownership, staking, NFT farming and of course MMORPG gameplay. — Find out when you can play this one!
CityStates: Medieval Coming to Stellar Blockchain
Even though I tend to be on top of things, I do miss out on some things (devs, email me that stuff!). CityStates Medieval has been in development for two years already, and I just found out about them. Enough reason to share a bit about their game, and a good moment to highlight that its uses the Stellar network. Yup, that’s the first time I wrote about Stellar on the blog in more than 18 months. — Discover CityStates Medieval
Animoca Launching New Race Game This Summer
There’s not title yet, but Animoca Brands is adding another racing game to their REVV ecosystem. F1 Delta Time has already shaped up nicely, while Moto GP Ignition is very much about collectibles at this moment. However, that will change. Animoca has a whole range of racing brands up its sleeve, and we’re curious to find out which rabbit they will pull from their bag. — These are the options
