Leading blockchain game developer Sky Mavis, known for the Axie Infinity blockchain game, has announced a strategic partnership with Foonie Magus. The collaboration will yield results Apeirona rogue-lite card fighter and god simulation game, adapted from the Ronin blockchain network.
Apeiron
Apeiron offers a distinctive gaming experience, combining rogue-lite card-battler and god simulation elements. Players take on the role of divine avatars, tasked with protecting the inhabitants of their planet, the Doods. This protection is achieved by engaging in compelling card-driven conflicts.
Apeiron adds a layer of complexity and introduces a tri-token system, allowing players to trade and invest within its world. These strategic choices have tangible economic consequences. Notably, the system also allows for the breeding of Planet NFTs, following elements of Axie Infinity game mechanics.
Transition to Ronin from Polygon
Apeiron initially launched on Polygon in April 2022, with the first coin of “Our Planet NFT,” and is now moving to the Ronin Network. Sky Mavis CEO Trung Nguyen expressed his enthusiasm about the transition. He praised the introduction of an immersive, blockchain-based god game to their ecosystem and recognized the extensive gaming expertise, from both Web2 and Web3 perspectives, provided by Foonie Magus’ leadership team.
Potential players eager to try out Apeiron before its full release can explore the demo version available on the Epic Game Store. Furthermore, a global launch of mobile games is planned for early 2024. This release promises to bring a new PvP mode and a token launch.
Gaming focus and exponential growth
Frank Cheng, CEO of Foonie Magus, underlined their choice of Ronin for its gaming-focused vision and strong support for selected projects. Cheng’s goal is to cultivate an ecosystem on Ronin that seamlessly intertwines creativity, engagement, economic value and IP success.
This move appears to be in line with the interests of the broader community, as Ronin has seen a notable 300% increase in daily active addresses over the past month. Sky Mavis had opened its doors to Ronin in March 2023 to select game studios to develop Web3 games, fueling the network’s impressive growth.
