Mythical Games and FIFA Team Up for Web3 Soccer Game
Mythical Games CEO John Linden believes FIFA Rivals could reach 100 million players, citing NFL Rivals' success with 6 million players.
FIFA has teamed up with blockchain gaming studio Mythical Games to create a new free-to-play soccer game called FIFA Rivals. Set to launch in the summer of 2025, the game will be available on iOS and Android.
It will offer real-time arcade-style gameplay, allowing players to manage their own soccer clubs and compete against others globally. The game’s exciting features will let players build their teams, compete for dominance, and create their own legacy in the world of soccer.
According to Mythical Games CEO, John Linden, FIFA Rivals could attract over 100 million players due to FIFA’s massive global appeal. He points to the success of NFL Rivals, which attracted more than 6 million players, as a sign of the game’s potential reach.
FIFA Rivals will run on the Mythos blockchain, supported by Polkadot, which offers players the chance to own and trade in-game assets in a play-to-earn environment. This partnership highlights the growing trend of sports organizations working with blockchain companies to offer new experiences to their fans.
The game builds on the success of Blankos Block Party, another NFT-based game by Mythical Games that transitioned to the Polkadot network. With millions of transactions each month, Mythical Games is well-positioned to create a successful gaming experience in the sports world.
In addition to FIFA Rivals, other sports clubs are also exploring blockchain technology. Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Miami, for example, have partnered with blockchain platforms to improve fan engagement and enhance data security.
These partnerships reflect a broader trend in sports, where blockchain is being used to enhance the fan experience and connect with younger, tech-savvy audiences.
