Game studio Web3 Mythical Games is launching Mythical Marketplace 2.0, its new marketplace for digital game assets, the company announced Wednesday.
Mythical Games also acquired game asset platform DMarket to help develop the new product. The company will provide Mythical with the infrastructure for the Mythical Marketplace 2.0 that will allow users to purchase game assets. The marketplace will incorporate DMarket’s anti-fraud and money laundering standards, as well as foster a community-oriented marketplace focused on digital property.
John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, told CoinDesk that the new marketplace will usher in a new digital property economy while bringing new players to Web3.
“Our core audience is really introducing players to these mechanics,” Linden said. “You’re just playing the game, you’re buying in-game items, and we’re doing all the hard, heavy lifting behind the scenes,” Linden said.
Since Mythical’s Ethereum-compatible chain went live six weeks ago, it has processed more than two million transactions. Still, the company continues to feel the effects of a prolonged crypto winter and market uncertainty.
In November, Mythical laid off 10% of its employees, citing rapid growth during the bull market and a need to restructure. Weeks later, in December, the company said it planned to sue three former executives who left the company to start a new company, Fenix Games, with the capital they intended to raise for Mythical.
Linden noted that while she cannot discuss the details of the litigation, she is hopeful that it will soon be resolved for the good of employees and investors.
