Avalanche and Gunzilla Games Revolutionize the Multiplayer Gaming World

In the dynamic world of Web2 and Web3 games, Gunzilla Games' new title "Off The Grid" is achieving remarkable success. Designed as a free-to-play battle royale, the game, currently in its early access version, has already secured the top spot on the Epic Games Store. Just days after its launch on October 11, the game recorded an impressive 154,440 Twitch viewers. "Off The Grid" is unique due to its integration of blockchain technology, based on the Avalanche subnet GUNZ. This technology allows for minting NFTs for in-game content such as weapons and skins, providing players with true ownership and the possibility for secondary markets. This distinguishes the game from traditional blockchain games, which often prioritize the token model over the player experience. Gunzilla Games is dedicated to countering traditional criticisms of volatile gaming practices by delivering high-quality AAA experiences that go beyond mere initial rewards. The blockchain elements add an additional layer of value to the in-game assets without diminishing the enjoyment of the game. Avalanche, a strong proponent in the gaming sector, underscores its commitment with a $40 million grant program to support developers in various applications. These developments could set the stage for future multiplayer games that offer true player autonomy. A recent report by Blockchain Gamer Biz highlights the advantages of a decentralized gaming infrastructure, citing the words of Ken Anderson, CTO of Tashi Protocol. He emphasizes that game owners benefiting from blockchain know their assets are secured even in the event of a server or publisher failure. A survey by Elympics, Blockchain Game Alliance, and PlayToEarn found that over 10% of respondents had never tried blockchain games due to complexities in the crypto wallet connection process. "Off The Grid" now seems to be changing the narrative, fundamentally improving accessibility in the blockchain gaming world.
