Krafton, the renowned South Korean gaming studio behind the blockbuster game PUBG: Battlegrounds, <a href="https://www.verdict.co.uk/krafton-jv-metaverse-naver">recently partnered</a> with augmented reality company Naver Z to create Migaloo, a cutting-edge Web3 metaverse game platform. 

Migaloo, which is set to launch later this year, will feature a unique "create-to-earn" system that will allow users to create, buy, and sell in-game assets as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Krafton plans to invest <a href="https://www.coinspeaker.com/krafton-naver-z-migaloo-metaverse">$36.8 million</a> to create an immersive Roblox-like world that will leverage its expertise as a AAA game studio.

This collaboration between Krafton and Naver Z comes at a time when Asian firms are increasingly investigating the potential of blockchain technology in the gaming industry. <a href="https://tingbits.com/post/square-enix-polygon">Square Enix</a>, the renowned creator of Final Fantasy, is developing its own Web3 game, as is <a href="https://tingbits.com/post/maplestory-universe-nexon">Nexon</a>, a prominent Japanese and South Korean company working on MapleStory Universe in Web3. Razer, based in Singapore, has also established a <a href="https://tingbits.com/post/zventures-web3-incubator">Web3 incubator</a>, and South Korean firm <a href="https://tingbits.com/post/wemade-anipang-match">WeMade</a> intends to incorporate Web3 into some of its most popular titles for international release.

Notably, this isn't Krafton's first foray into the world of Web3. The company announced <a href="https://krafton.com/en/news/press/krafton-inc-signs-long-term-cooperation-agreement-with-solana-labs-for-blockchain-based-games-and-services">a partnership with Solana Labs</a> for game development on the Solana network in March 2022. However, no public updates have been given on the partnership's progress since its initial announcement.

<a href="https://www.krafton.com/en/news/press/krafton-inc-partners-with-naver-z-to-build-an-nft-metaverse-platform">Krafton and Naver Z's collaboration</a> holds great promise for developing an innovative and immersive Web3 metaverse game platform. With Krafton's extensive gaming industry experience, including the staggering success of <a href="https://pubg.com/en-na">PUBG</a> with 289 million monthly active players, and Naver Z's expertise in augmented reality, gamers and blockchain enthusiasts alike are looking forward to the launch of Migaloo later this year and the potential impact it could have on the gaming industry.</a>

As NAVER Z CEO Chang-wook Kim put it, "We will grow Migaloo as a new metaverse platform where creators can realize new values in an NFT-based ecosystem based on their own creations."

With a combined investment of $36.4m, Krafton and Naver Z have agreed to form a joint venture to establish a metaverse platform business in North America. To do so, Krafton will acquire the stocks and investment securities of other companies. Under the partnership, KRAFTON will hold controlling stakes with 85% ownership, while NAVER Z controls the remaining 15%. 

Stay tuned for updates on this exciting industry collaboration.

 It has "create-to-earn" NFTs, set to launch later this year.

Pink Moon Studios <a href="https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=303835">announced</a> on Thursday the release of a free-to-play mode for their hit strategy game, KMON Genesis. By eliminating the NFT requirement, gamers from all backgrounds can dive into the world of KMON Genesis.

A rebrand from <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/kryptomon">Kryptomon</a>, KMON Genesis lets players breed, collect, and trade unique creatures. The game transforms players into "trainers" of unique digital creatures called Kryptomons, drawing inspiration from Pokémon, Tamagotchi, and <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/cryptokitties">CryptoKitties</a>.

Each Kryptomon is a digital asset linked to a non-fungible token (NFT). It has 38 random parameters that determine how it looks and acts. These digital creatures can learn, get sick, get hungry, and even protect their trainers when they go on adventures. Kryptomons need care, food, and training to help them grow and get ready for battle.

Pink Moon Studios distributes weekly monetary rewards. These incentives average around $50 in tokens based on KMON Genesis revenue.

The studio's founder and CEO, Umberto Canessa Cerchi, stated that "the company's core mission has always been to make the enthralling KMON Genesis universe accessible to everyone." He stated that introducing the free-to-play mode is a game changer because it invites players from all backgrounds to experience the innovative and exciting world they have created without any financial or web3-related technological barriers.

Furthermore, Pink Moon Studios has collaborated with Playdex to <a href="https://www.kryptomon.co/blogs/play-your-way-with-rentable-kryptomons">implement rental features for KMON</a> on-chain assets. Players can preview World of Kogaea, the company's mobile MMORPG, for the upcoming community event. By completing specific quests, participants can even earn a one-of-a-kind digital collectible.

"We are eager to offer players a mesmerizing glimpse into the digital realm of World of Kogaea," said Brian Bento, Chief Product Officer and SVP of Game Development at Pink Moon Studios. "Our dedicated team has poured countless hours into crafting a visually spectacular and engaging experience that players will find truly captivating."

Founded in 2021, Pink Moon Studios has created experiences bridging the digital and physical worlds. Visit Pink Moon Studios' official website at <a href="https://pink-moon.studio">https://pink-moon.studio</a> for more information.

The exciting new gaming platform promises a transparent in-game asset management system that allows players to own in-game items as NFTs. The platform will be integrated into Gunzilla Games' upcoming Battle Royale 2.0 game,<a href="https://gameoffthegrid.com/faq"> Off The Grid (OTG)</a>.

GUNZ will allow developers to build and launch their own projects using the platform's SDK and white-label components, with access to features such as a built-in companion app, marketplace, and NFT minting engine. <a href="https://tingbits.com/chain/avalanche">Avalanche's </a>unique consensus protocol and Subnet infrastructure enable virtually limitless scalability, making it the ideal choice for developers looking to build blockchain solutions that can handle a high volume of transactions. Its HyperSDK toolkit streamlines the process of developing custom blockchain applications, giving developers the tools they need to build complex and powerful blockchain solutions.

Gunzilla Games intends to use the power of blockchain technology to provide players with a more rewarding, transparent, and engaging gaming experience with the upcoming release of <a href="https://gunzillagames.com/en/off-the-grid">Off The Grid</a> and the GUNZ platform.

Razer is now venturing into web3 by launching the <a href="https://twitter.com/razer/status/1645804032253112321?s=46&t=BLAWmj94qU3v3ry_o5cQog">zVentures Web3 Incubator (ZW3I)</a>. The American and Singaporean company has put out a call for new Web3 partners and game entries. Best known for its gaming accessories and gear, Razer is poised to drive the Web3 gaming space forward.

On zVentures' website, Razer stated that their new incubator program is designed to assist developers in creating the next generation of blockchain games and projects. Razer notes that while blockchain technology empowers unique features, the basics of creating an enjoyable game don't change. Top-tier gameplay continues to be vital. It emphasized that immersive and engaging experiences are still what makes a great game regardless of if it is web2 or web3.

The selection process for the ZW3I will emphasize quality as the primary criterion. As such, developers and publishers with experience creating games that are “focused on the gameplay experience” are more likely to be chosen. Furthermore, developers who have a “proven track record” of making great web2 games will also be favored when selecting finalists among the submissions.

<a href="https://www.razer.com">Razer</a> recognizes that the first generation of Web3 games has not yet been successful in capturing the general audience’s attention. The company hopes that through the ZW3I initiative, it can create "immersive" and "engaging" experiences that will be more successful in attracting players. In order to ensure that only the best projects are selected, Razer has identified four key factors that will guide its selection process.

The first factor is the "fun" factor of the game and the overall cohesion of its design, art, and web3 elements. The second is the overall quality and concept of the project, which includes the safety and security of the game. Thirdly, Razer will assess the project's "sound roadmap" and investor support. Finally, the company will analyze the team's experience and track record of commitment and completion rate. Projects that meet these criteria will be given access to Razer’s marketing and partnership programs, as well as its entire ecosystem of hardware and software services.

Interested participants can visit <a href="https://www.zvntrs.com/zw3i/#portfolio">ZVentures' official website</a> to submit their full name, company name, brief pitch, and deck. By focusing on quality and providing support to selected projects, Razer hopes to drive the development of the Web3 gaming industry forward.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Top 5 Crypto Platform Games of 2023

Unstoppable Games, founded by Chris Lexmond, is about to change the gaming industry with its new game, <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/influence">Influence</a>. The web3 science fiction MMO game is powered by blockchain technology and the Starknet platform, providing players a truly decentralized gaming experience.

With Influence, players will be able to mine asteroids for resources, trade in player-controlled marketplaces, and build their own empires while retaining ownership of their in-game assets.

Lexmond has recently <a href="https://influenceth.substack.com/p/starkware-invests-in-influence?sd=pf">announced on a blog post</a> that <a href="https://starkware.co">StarkWare</a> invested in Unstoppable Games to develop on-chain games for Starknet, demonstrating their belief in gaming's impact on the network's growth.

Influence benefits greatly from Starknet's scalability. The game is secure, and transactions are fast, thanks to Starknet's advanced and affordable technology. Starknet also allows complex calculations to model ship movements between asteroids, giving gamers a realistic space experience. Thousands of players have tested Influence three times on Ethereum Layer 1 and Starknet, demonstrating the game's ability to deliver a robust and satisfying gaming experience.

The game's development is driven by the passion of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/clexmond">Chris Lexmond</a>, who is committed to building community-powered games that can never be switched off. Lexmond's vision is to create a genuinely unstoppable gaming experience in which players can shape the game's future, and developers cannot stop it. Unstoppable Games enables players, modders, and creators to actively participate in the game's development using blockchain technology.

The launch of Influence is scheduled for this summer, while the sale of launch non-fungible token (NFT) assets for Influence is set for April 11. 

From April 11 to April 18, players can purchase asteroids and SWAY, the in-game currency, in preparation for the game's launch. The asteroids in Adalia are unique and have various strengths and weaknesses that players can customize to expand their influence across the belt. SWAY is Influence's in-game currency that enables players to purchase goods, pay for leased space, and settle and build up their asteroids. The sale will only be open to community members who own an Influence asteroid or crewmate. You can read more about the sale on the <a href="https://influenceth.substack.com/p/prepare-for-launch-sale">Influence blog</a>.

Influence's sale of NFT assets on April 11 shows the excitement and anticipation for the web3 MMO game.

Unstoppable Games Launches Influence MMO on Starknet

Chainlink has <a href="https://twitter.com/chainlink/status/1641440283111075847">announced its 2023 Spring Hackathon</a>, which will start from April 28 to June 9, and has invited developers to participate. The Hackathon, which has a prize pool of $400K (and growing), is aimed at web3 developers who have access to more tools than ever before and want to build the next breakthrough decentralized application (dApp).

The Hackathon will include world-class workshops from expert developers, as well as opportunities for attendees to network with other developers and community members. They will also receive written feedback on their hackathon projects.

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that provides reliable inputs and outputs for complex smart contracts on any blockchain. Because of its ability to securely connect smart contracts to real-world data, the platform is a popular choice for developers creating decentralized applications.

Decentralized gaming is one of the blockchain industry's fastest-growing segments. It is based on the play-and-earn concept, in which gamers can earn cryptocurrencies by playing games and completing in-game tasks. This model has grown in popularity in recent years, with blockchain-based games like <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/axie-infinity">Axie Infinity</a>, <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/the-sandbox">The Sandbox</a>, and <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/splinterlands">Splinterlands</a> gaining massive audiences.  Decentralized gaming has the potential to transform the gaming industry by giving players ownership of in-game assets and allowing them to trade those assets on decentralized marketplaces. With a prize for NFTs & Gaming at the Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon, contestants can demonstrate their abilities in this emerging field.

The Hackathon is offering a $25,000 grand prize, as well as other prizes in categories such as NFTs & Gaming, DeFi, DAO, Tech for Good, Women in Tech, Artificial Intelligence, Rates Products, and Chainlink Services. There will also be prizes for the best projects, as well as AWS credits for selected projects.

The event's schedule will be expanded over the next two months, and participants can check back for more information on workshops and pre-event festivities. The Hackathon will begin on April 28 with an opening ceremony and participant meet and greet. Chainlink Trust Minimized Services, Hardhat, Remix and Solidity, Foundry, Truflation, Chainlink Functions, and Data Products are among the topics that will be covered in workshops.

The event will conclude on June 9 with a closing ceremony, after which the winners will be announced. Developers who want to take part in the Chainlink Spring 2023 Hackathon can <a href="https://chain.link/hackathon?utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=spring-2023-hackathon&agid=4cba4ju67vq8">sign up here</a> and start working on the next big thing in the decentralized world.
