Immutable has partnered with web3 game developers SunSpear Games to bring their highly anticipated, real-time strategy game IMMORTAL: Gates of Pyre onto the Immutable zkEVM chain.
In IMMORTAL: Gates of Pyre, players take on the role of god-generals leading great armies into battle against rival factions, destroying enemy bases and conquering their territory. Bringing the game onto Immutable zkEVM chain will allow IMMORTAL players to buy, trade and own their in-game assets.
“Developing our first RTS game has been a dream of ours,” said Kevin Wagner, CEO and Co-Chairman of SunSpear Games. “This partnership will allow interested players to enjoy unique web3 benefits within IMMORTAL: Gates of Pyre’s ecosystem.”
What is Immutable zkEVM?
Immutable zkEVM is an Ethereum-based gaming chain that allows developers to implement web3 mechanics in their games in a simple and straightforward way.
As a zkEVM chain, it offers low fees, seamless scalability and the tried and tested security of Ethereum. Developers that choose to build on Immutable zkEVM have access to a catalog of state of the art tools and resources, which allow them to focus on building quality games whilst offloading the web3 features to Immutable’s infrastructure.
As of June 2024, more than 330 games have been built on this tech stack, including popular titles like MetalCore, Galaxy Commanders and Medieval Empires, with many more to follow across the rest of 2024.
What to expect from this partnership?
At the moment SunSpear is mainly known for creating popular mods on games like Skyrim and StarCraft. By partnering with Immutable, SunSpear hopes to branch out and become a leading developer in the strategy genre.
This partnership will grant SunSpear Games access to various Immutable Products, including the Immutable Passport, Immutable Orderbook and Immutable Checkout. All of these tools will help with them build IMMORTAL: Gates of Pyre, which is still in the early stages of development, and bring their RTS game onchain.
“This partnership not only allows us to bring groundbreaking games to the community but also unlocks new opportunities in web3 gaming,”commented Immutable co-founder and president Robbie Ferguson.
“We couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds for this collaboration and the value it will bring to the player community,”
