FIFA and Mythical Games Launch "FIFA Rivals"
FIFA has partnered with Mythical Games to release "FIFA Rivals," a free-to-play soccer game coming in summer 2025 for iOS and Android. Players will manage soccer clubs and compete in real-time matches.
Mythical's CEO, John Linden, expects the game could attract over 100 million players, tapping into the massive interest in soccer. Powered by the Mythos blockchain, "FIFA Rivals" will feature a play-to-earn economy, allowing players to own and monetize in-game assets. This partnership reflects the growing trend of sports organizations leveraging blockchain technology for fan engagement.
The launch of "FIFA Rivals" could create significant impacts on blockchain platforms such as IO, SAGA, and SEI. First, this game has the potential to change traditional gaming by introducing a play-to-earn model, encouraging these platforms to develop similar features to attract players. The interest from the traditional gaming community may also help expand the user base for IO, SAGA, and SEI, increasing competition in the market.
Moreover, "FIFA Rivals" will enhance awareness of blockchain technology among gamers, providing these platforms with opportunities to effectively explain and promote their technology. Additionally, the success of the game could foster cross-industry collaboration, encouraging blockchain platforms to work with game developers to create more innovative products. Finally, the launch of a major game like "FIFA Rivals" will put competitive pressure on platforms such as IO, SAGA, and SEI to improve their services and features, thereby enhancing product quality in the market. In summary, "FIFA Rivals" is not just a new game but also has the potential to bring profound and widespread impacts to the development of blockchain platforms in the gaming sector.
