'Mythical Games,' the Los Angeles-based, web3-focused game development studio, announced the 'NFL Rivals' blockchain-based football game. This game will be made via a partnership with the National Football League itself, and it will feature integration with digital collectible NFTs. These NFTs will be delivered through a play-to-own game model where players can compete with one another to accrue more digital wealth.
The integration with collectible items is familiar to football fans who have experience with football card collecting, as the same level of scarcity applies to digital NFTs. On top of this, Mythical Games has stressed that NFL Rivals will not only be appealing to fans of football, but also to general gaming fans, NFT enthusiasts, and curious consumers.
The company stated that NFL Rivals will have high-quality 3D models for each character, but it will have arcade-style gameplay, meaning it will be both visually appealing and easy to learn.
