GAMEE launches ‘Beasties’ NFT characters for its popular Arc8 platform

The Animoca Brands subsidiary launches Beasties to bridge gap between Web2 and Web3 gaming, champion true digital ownership in mobile gaming

12 September 2023 – GAMEE, the arcade gaming subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has launched Beasties in its popular Arc8 gaming app. Beasties are utility-providing in-app game companions in Arc8 that players can optionally mint into one-of-a-kind NFTs at no cost, advancing GAMEE's mission to promote genuine digital ownership for all gamers.

As part of GAMEE’s mission to introduce the opportunities of decentralized gaming to traditional mobile gamers, all Arc8 players will receive an in-game egg that hatches to reveal  their own Beastie, which can be upgraded with food earned by winning games. 

 

As players progress, they can upgrade their Beasties into more powerful versions by converting them into NFTs. These NFTs are unique digital collectibles of different rarities that offer in-game benefits such as increased energy to allow players to obtain higher scores. Furthermore, players may harness the power of additional Beasties to mine Luck, which grants access to special Lucky Events that offer various prizes.

 

Arc8 Beasties represent GAMEE’s longstanding commitment to onboarding users to Web3 by combining the best features of Web2 and Web3 gaming. Arc8, GAMEE’s mobile blockchain gaming platform released in 2022, strives to bring together conventional and decentralized gaming ecosystems through community-driven events and rewards. In line with its hybrid Web2 and Web3 strategy, Arc8 supports payments in both traditional fiat and tokens, ensuring a seamless experience for both new players and those who are already familiar with Web3 features.

 

Reflecting on the Beasties initiative, Bozena Rezab, CEO of GAMEE, commented, “Our vision for Arc8 revolves around unveiling the incredible potential of Web3 gaming. By welcoming more Web2 players into the Arc8 blockchain mobile gaming platform, we are tapping a vast reservoir of mobile gamers who will now have the opportunity to experience the benefits of blockchain gaming and digital ownership, and claim what might be their first-ever NFT at no cost.”

 

Arc8 is available for iOS and Android mobile devices on the App Store and Google Play.

 

Arc8 has partnered with notable names in the industry, hosting game tournaments with various rewards including tokens. In addition to the Into the Mocaverse campaign held in April 2023, GAMEE has partnered with brands including Manchester City, NASA, Guinness World Records, Hooked, Polygon, Cool Cats, MetaSoccer, Decentral Games, BoomLand, Karmaverse, Benji Bananas, Planet IX, REVV, Crazy Defense Heroes, The Sandbox, Tower, Atari, Phantom Galaxies, Anichess, Club 3, and Bratz Pop. 

 

Arc8 gained significant recognition earlier this year through a Messari report that ranked it among the best blockchain gaming apps on the Polygon network. The report noted that Arc8 has amassed approximately 10,000 daily unique active wallets (UAW) interacting with the platform’s smart contracts, and In 2022 received a US$1.5 million investment from Binance Labs.
