A major step forward in the blockchain gaming industry has been taken with the PlayStation 4’s release of “Plague Hunters.”
Arcade Distillery – the company behind the game’s development – has established several titles for the PS Vita, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch systems. Representatives of the company say that the game has been built via the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.
Per the game’s description on the Arcade Distillery website, “Plague Hunters” is a single-player role-playing game (RPG) with some PvP elements. The game is also a sequel to the highly successful “Plague Road” released in May of last year.
The website reads:
Build your army of hunters. Train them and prepare them for battle. Trade your hunters on the blockchain-based marketplace with other players.
“Plague Hunters” will be free to play and will feature a marketplace for peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. The game has passed the Sony review process with flying colors and satisfies all of PlayStation’s present terms and conditions regardless of its varied blockchain elements. It is the first blockchain game to garner such approval.
Like other blockchain-based games, the assets in “Plague Hunters,” including weapons, outfits and other items, can be purchased with non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The game is slated for release in quarter one of 2019, and the PC and Nintendo Switch versions are currently in development. The company has also stated that it is examining the possibilities of both mobile and Xbox One releases.
