Gaming is one of the easiest way for Cryptos to reach mass adoption. Gamers are already sold on the idea of Digital Goods.
New Gaming companies are being formed in the Blockchain Space on a daily basis.
I just tried out EOS Knights, add me "cryptolemon2" if you want 1000 free Magic water. This is the most "achieved" game available right now but a new wave is coming. These new games will mostly be on EOS or ETH sidechains and will test the network robustness.
I believe EOS has a little edge over ETH for now but let the Blockchain Games fight begin !
Mythical Games Secures $16M of Funding
Mythical Games, a new Los Angeles-headquartered game studio, announced on Friday that it has secured $16 million in a Series-A financing round. The funds will support the development and co-production of blockchain-powered games for mobile devices, PCs and consoles. The round was led by Galaxy Digital and included Okcoin, Javelin Venture Partners, Divergence Digital, Fenbushi and Noris.
Blankos Block Party is a multiplayer video game on the EOS blockchain. It aims to recreate the concept of a virtual economy by adding cryptocurrency to the gaming experience.
The game was created Mythical Games in Los Angeles, California and is scheduled to come out in 2019.
I think this could truly be a great game, it looks like a PUBG / Fortnite copycats with very personalized characters.
Also, we can see the professional game developpers working on previous big hits (WoW, CoD...) coming to the Blockchain space and seeing the opportunity.
Fuel Games Releases ‘Gods Unchained’ Trailer
Fuel Games, another blockchain-powered game development company that was founded earlier this year, released an official gameplay trailer on Thursday for its upcoming title “Gods Unchained.” The startup raised $2.4 million in seed funding in May and is backed by Coinbase Ventures, Continue Capital, Sora Ventures and Nirvana Capital.
As I understood correctly, the game will run on top of ETH sidechains.
“Gods Unchained” is a competitive collectible trading card game, like a cross between “Magic: The Gathering,” “Hearthstone” and “Crypto Kitties.” Fuel Games also announced on Thursday that it will begin rolling out a closed beta of the game “over the next week or two.”
It could be a strong competitor to @Steemmonsters. At least @Steemmonsters is already out and improving everyday ! And it has the STEEM community behind which is one of the biggest (in numbers).

Hey @vlemon! I am thinking that perhaps a new Steemit series on "Trends In Blockchain Gaming" might be feasible at this juncture. Do you think there is enough news coming out in this industry to justify five-article news posts? And perhaps some example play videos in the posts? I'm just thinking it's a good idea, just like my launch of the "Blockchain socil media news" series at the time when articles on tat topic started becoming frequent enough to justify a weekly series post. Also, who do you think would best be able to executre such series - you or me? Let me know your thoughts about this, because I believe it is another one of my (many) high-potential ideas. Also, please post more about the gaming topics, if possible...

Hi @transcript-junky, great to read from you!
I do not think there are enough news just yet. It might be different in a few months as more projects come live.
There is défini space for a “Blockchain Video Game Dtuber” 😂.
I do not have time to do it yet but Maybe later.
Take care.

Hi. News starts rolling in FAST on these evolving topics, and so I suggest you/we/I start doing preliminary research on this series concept. I will have a look this week for what regular info is being posted on this topic, and I am thinking that @stevecronin may be willing and able to do screencasts of his SteemMonsters game play. I will reach out to him and see what he thinks. That would be FOUR articles related to the topic, and one screencast video at the end. I think this would have some serious traction...Let me know your thoughts...

Blankos trailer is incredibly funny, loved it!
Gods Unchained is very similar to hearthstone and that concerns me, because it is the biggest and better card game of all times.

Agreed ! it looks very nice.
Makes me sad for SteemMonsters that such competitors are coming...

On the contrary, this will force @steemmonsters to improve at a faster pace, otherwise they will lose their advantage of being the firsts.

Yes, it will but will they have the "people" to?
It is an artisanal game which is going to compete against structured gaming companies.
