NEW YORK & OTTAWA, Ontario, April 16, 2024 – Award-winning, Ottawa based mobile game developer-publisher, Magmic announced today that the company has joined Blockchain Game Alliance. In further exemplifying its expertise in the Web3 realm, Magmic’s focus remains on remaining ahead of the curve in the ever-changing mobile game development landscape and monetization models.
“We are thrilled to become members of Blockchain Game Alliance. We are proud of our vast experience with Web3 technology and integrating NFTs into our games and are aligned with Blockchain Game Alliance’s mission of ‘spreading awareness about blockchain technologies and encouraging adoption by highlighting their potential to foster new ways to create, publish, play and build strong communities around games.’ It is Magmic’s vision and commitment to create an enjoyable gaming experience while also allowing true in-game asset ownership that truly sets it apart in the new world of Web3 gaming,” said Magmic CEO and President Mo Agha.
An early adopter of Web3 technology and integrating NFTs into Passport Rummy, one of Magmic’s flagship games, led the company to its first full Web3 game, Idle Pet Paradise. The successful development and release of Idle Pet Paradise afforded Magmic ‘ahead of its time’ Web3 game development expertise.
In addition, Magmic secured an official partnership and license with a major sports brand to develop a tycoon-style management mobile and web videogame, leveraging Web3 technology. The ‘first-of-its-kind’ mobile sports game will deliver ‘in-gameplay’ management of one’s digital collections within Magmic’s custodial platform, allowing ownership of one’s digital collections with an anticipated reveal and launch in mid 2024.
Founded in 2002, Magmic celebrated its 22nd anniversary on February 13, 2024.
