CoinVoice has learned that TOPGOAL's football manager game Footballcraft, which integrates Web3 and Web2 platforms, launched its second round of public testing last week, achieving remarkable results that exceeded expectations. So far, the total number of players testing on Web3 and Web2 platforms has surpassed 100,000, with a next-day retention rate of 69%. The development team stated that this impressive data is expected to surpass SEGA's (Football Manager) series after Footballcraft officially launches, claiming the title of the highest-grossing manager game in the world.
Footballcraft has been meticulously crafted over two years by a team with 11 years of experience in football game development. The game constructs a parallel world that is highly consistent with real-world rules, with the unique feature that the passage of time in the game is 12 times faster than in the real world, allowing players to fully experience a football manager's career in just a few months. The product manager of Footballcraft once led a team to achieve an annual revenue of $100 million with a football manager game in 2018. Now, with a series of promotional activities in the Web3 space, Footballcraft is expected to set new records.
Looking back at the football manager game field, the (Football Manager) series dominated from 2000 to 2015, becoming a benchmark in the industry. However, as the gaming industry has shifted towards online competitive play, its single-player game model has gradually declined, with annual revenue currently down to about $60 million. TOPGOAL has seized this opportunity to fully develop Footballcraft, aiming to provide players with an ultimate cross-platform gaming experience. [Original link]
