The excitement for EOS-based games is a global phenomenon and users from all corners of the globe meet in multiple game worlds. Recently an English-speaking business TV program in China, “ICS Money Talks,” picked up on the potential of blockchain-based gaming and aired a piece in which they mentioned the EOS Game “Crypto Sword and Magic.”

The Azarus project is also well aware of the massive potential of gaming and has developed a concept that interconnects publishers, streamers, and gamers. Azarus just released a “How Does It Work” video explaining their platform and intentions. If you’re interested in getting to know the team behind Azarus, we encourage you to read an interview with one of the founders, Alex Casassovici, that was published by Block.one in their #BuildOnEOSIO series.

Azarus users currently login with their Twitch account, but that could soon change if they integrate with other platforms that are also built on EOSIO, such as Ultra. It’s exciting to see the EOSIO network-effects that are starting to take root in the gaming industry. Speaking of Ultra, they recently showcased an early version of their storefront interface, giving an idea of what is possible when blockchain becomes an integral part of a gaming platform.

Familiar to regular readers of the EOS Hot Sauce, Upland was recently featured in Block.one’s #BuiltOnEOSIO series. As explained by Idan Zuckerman, Co-Founder of Upland, the game’s virtual assets represent unique real-world objects. Owning these assets can blur the line between the virtual world and the physical world and in this interview, we learn about the individual background of the 3 founders, as well as their future plans and vision for the game. Upland is currently in beta.

The 3D Super Hero game has gained quite some popularity in the last few weeks with many players joining the world to mine some resources and join in on some spontaneous dance battles. After a certain amount of resources are mined, a new feature allows users to craft swords by talking to the blacksmith. This process also creates an actual NFT that embeds into the sword the time and name of the user that crafted it.

The FastEco team, creators of Super Hero, does a great job keeping their Super Hero players excited through regular updates, new features, and exciting teasers like the upcoming Super Hero quests! Is your sword ready for the adventure? Shout-out to the great writer responsible for the hilarious blockchain lore that can be found while exploring the world. It’s all coming together very nicely!

And of course, a discussion about EOSIO gaming would not be complete without mentioning a little something about WAX. The very popular Prospectors game is now live on the WAX network! For those playing the version on the EOS public network, new features are expected once the EOSIO 1.8 Upgrade is completed!
