  • Gunzilla Games has implemented an interface between OpenSea and the GUNZ blockchain to make exchanging in-game items easier.
  • The alliance hopes to empower gamers by providing nonfungible tokens (NFTs) that allow users to entirely digitally own in-game assets.
  • The release of the Off the Grid game on the GUNZ blockchain will change the gaming industry.

Frankfurt-based gaming studio Gunzilla Games has announced the integration of the GUNZ blockchain into the OpenSea NFT marketplace. This strategic partnership aims to facilitate the seamless trading of in-game items across various titles built on the GUNZ blockchain.

Gunzilla’s move is set to revolutionize the gaming industry by enabling AAA game developers to offer players full digital ownership of in-game assets as tradeable NFTs, empowering player-driven economies and enhancing the overall gaming experience.

Gunzilla Games integrates the GUNZ blockchain with OpenSea.

Recently, Gunzilla secured $30 million, leading to integrating the GUNZ blockchain with OpenSea. This project ensures that players and users have a transparent and compliant platform for selling in-game NFT products through transactions using the $GUN token only. Off the Grid is the first cyberpunk-style battle royale game scheduled to launch on the GUNZ blockchain.

Gunzilla CEO Vlad Korolov stated, “We have always aimed to empower players with genuine ownership of their in-game assets, revolutionizing the creation and exchange of value in the digital realm.”

“Thanks to OpenSea, we’re one step closer to achieving a single, player-driven economy for all games created on the GUNZ blockchain.” OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer agreed, pointing out that the GUNZ integration brings the much-awaited Off the Grid to their market and gives console and PC gamers a new level of digital ownership.

Leading AAA game company Gunzilla, which also created the GUNZ blockchain, has announced a significant collaboration with OpenSea, the most prominent peer-to-peer NFT marketplace globally.

This partnership will natively integrate the GUNZ blockchain into OpenSea, becoming the platform’s eighth blockchain supporter.

Building on a unique Avalanche subnet, the GUNZ blockchain gives AAA game creators the means to construct player-driven economies. The gaming company achieves this by allowing players to own their in-game items as tradeable NFTs entirely digitally.

Partnering with OpenSea, Gunzilla will establish a transparent and compliant NFT marketplace to sell these in-game items, bridging the gap between the established Web2 gaming industry and the emerging Web3 gaming sector.

Therefore, players and OpenSea users can trade NFT products from any game created on the GUNZ blockchain, utilizing the platform’s native $GUN token as the exclusive means of payment. This action can potentially revolutionize the production and trading of value within the digital game industry. 

Gunzilla Games presents its Web3 gaming vision.

The first title to debut on the GUNZ blockchain is the much-awaited Gunzilla cyberpunk combat royale game Off the Grid. Released later this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Off the Grid will be a shining illustration of the possibilities of this collaboration and the future of gaming economies.

The cooperation excites Vlad Korolov, CEO and co-founder of Gunzilla, who said it advances the firm one step closer to achieving its goal of a single, player-driven economy for all games created on the GUNZ blockchain. He also emphasized the significance of the off-the-grid debut, as it will shed light on the potential of this partnership and the trajectory of gaming ownership.

The relationship excites OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer, who complimented Gunzilla for putting the user first and delivering excellent gameplay.

He emphasized the importance of the GUNZ integration into OpenSea because it provides a digital ownership component that console and PC gamers have yet to experience and brings the much-awaited Off the Grid to their market.

Gunzilla recently succeeded in raising $30 million in total finance, and this news follows that achievement. This is a $10 million strategic token round with Republic Capital and Morningstar Ventures participating, co-led by CoinFund and the Avalanche Foundation’s Blizzard Fund.

Founded in 2020, Gunzilla has quickly emerged as a leading independent AAA video game developer and publisher. The company prioritizes innovation and pushes the boundaries of the gaming industry. Its formidable team includes professionals from the industry’s top studios and publishers.

Verdict

Combining the GUNZ blockchain with OpenSea marks a significant turning point in developing digital ownership in the gaming sector. Gunzilla is laying the groundwork for a day where players have complete control over their in-game assets by bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 gaming.

Along with improving games, our collaboration raises the bar for openness and compliance in the NFT sector. With Off the Grid getting ready for its much-awaited debut, the gaming world is excited to see what ground-breaking innovations Gunzilla and OpenSea will bring to Web3.
