ChainCatcher message: The second round of public testing for Footballcraft, a football manager game that integrates Web3 and Web2 platforms under TOPGOAL, began last week with remarkable results, far exceeding expectations. So far, the total number of testers 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 developed over two years by a team with 11 years of experience in football game development. The game constructs a parallel world that closely aligns with real-world rules, with the unique aspect being that time in the game flows at 12 times the speed of real life, allowing players to experience a complete football manager career in just a few months. The product manager of Footballcraft previously led a team that achieved annual revenue of 100 million USD with a football manager game in 2018. Now, with a series of promotional activities in the Web3 domain, Footballcraft is expected to set new records.
Looking back at the football manager game sector, the (Football Manager) series dominated from 2000 to 2015, becoming the industry benchmark. However, as the gaming industry has shifted towards online real-person competitions, its single-player game model has gradually declined, with annual revenue now reduced to approximately 60 million USD. TOPGOAL has seized this opportunity, fully committed to creating Footballcraft, aimed at providing players with an ultimate cross-platform gaming experience.
