The gaming industry is ready for a revolution with the Blockchain Technology

Game developers are quickly learning that the Blockchain can make companies capitalize on current gaming trends. As the gaming industry has been steadily growing over time with multi-player games like the survival game Fortnite earing $1 billion in purchases.

A company called Mythical games will be coming out of the shadows to leverage the Blockchain applicability. The start-up has reportedly raised more than $16 million in Series A funding, but the game will not be directly dependent on Ethereum but on the EOSIO blockchain.

According to the CEO John Linden on the fundraising:

“The investment from Galaxy, Javelin, and our other new investors will allow us to ignite a new approach to developing games, giving players and content creators a bigger stake in the games they love. We believe this new economics will come to dominate gaming, resulting in an even bigger addressable market for the industry.”
