It’s been a busy 12 months in the web3 gaming sector. One particular trend to highlight is the growing number of web3 game developers tapping into mobile distribution, either alone or as part of adopting a cross-platform approach.
One of the pioneers in this respect is Mythical Games who first launched NFL Rivals in the middle of 2023, which became the best performing web3 mobile title. Mythical later revealed that its popular party game Blankos Block Party is pivoting to mobile-first, while more recently announcing a deal with Pudgy Penguins to release a mobile based party game.
Notably, Find Satoshi Lab recently unveiled move-to-earn social lifestyle app STEPN GO will be mobile- based, just like its precursor STEPN.
South Korean developer Planetarium released a new mobile version of Nine Chronicles in November, also expanding the game’s infrastructure with a new blockchain.
Immutable’s God’s Unchained was released a mobile version in May, whereas the company’s anticipated squad RPG Guild of Guardians recently launched on mobile.
Sky Mavis’ flagship title Axie Infinity Origins also moved to mobile from PC during 2023, alongside Ronin onboarding third-party developers such as Zillion Whales and its mobile RTS Wild Forest.
More recently, Skrice Studio’s Heroes of Mavia, Wemade’s Night Crows, GFAL’s Elemental Raiders, Pixion Games’ Fableborne, and InfiniGod’s King of Destiny, have all joined the growing catalogue of web3 games built for mobile.
