'FIFA Rivals' Announced, 'MemeFi' Airdrop, and 'Pac-Man' NFTs
Mythical Games is collaborating with FIFA to launch FIFA Rivals, a mobile, arcade-style soccer game set for release in summer 2025 on iOS and Android. Players will have the opportunity to build and manage soccer clubs, competing in real-time matches. Leveraging blockchain technology via the Mythos chain, the game will feature collectible and tradable NFTs of soccer stars from various eras, similar to Mythical Games’ other offering, NFL Rivals.
This marks FIFA's latest foray into blockchain-based gaming, aiming to merge the global passion for soccer with cutting-edge digital collectibles.
Telegram’s MemeFi game launched its MEMEFI token via the Sui network this week, with an airdrop to eligible players. Distribution took place through the OKX exchange and on-chain claims, enabling funds to be deposited into self-custodial wallets. Despite the initial excitement, the MEMEFI token’s value dropped nearly 50% from its opening price, now trading at $0.0057. The token’s future may hinge on the development of the broader MemeFi ecosystem and player engagement.
Bandai Namco continues to explore NFT opportunities, teasing upcoming digital collectibles tied to the iconic Pac-Man franchise. While details remain sparse, the initiative is part of a broader strategy to expand classic gaming IPs into blockchain-integrated spaces, offering fans new ways to engage with beloved characters and histories.
The NFT gaming and crypto sectors are abuzz with innovation, though challenges such as market volatility and community adoption remain. As projects like FIFA Rivals and MemeFi evolve, they may offer insights into the future direction of gaming in the Web3 era.
