Gala Games built its blockchain ecosystem on the Gala Games token (GALA), which was created on the ERC-20 standard for the Ethereum blockchain, and it also works with the Binance Smart Chain. Through the token, players can invest in their game assets, like Spider Tanks, and own them. This is best exemplified by gaming, where a Gala player is able to own things like the land where the battle is played. Whether you read our articles, listen to our podcasts, or watch our videos, GamesBeat will help you learn about the industry and enjoy engaging with it. We want to tell you how the news matters to you -- not just as a decision-maker at a game studio, but also as a fan of games. “We are excited to be working with Gala Games and by our presence on the Epic Games Store. Web3 will make players’ experiences in the Wild West even better.” Gala Games’ titles being available on the Epic Game Store brings legitimacy to this new genre of gaming,” said John Osvald, president of Games at Gala Games, in a statement. Gala Games’ GALA token has a market capitalization of $520 million, which is far below its peak in November of $5.4 billion. Gala Games has built a platform that combines play-to-earn mechanics and NFTs, and it is recruiting game developers who know how to make fun games. Gala recently announced a Web3 first-person-shooter (FPS) by a triple-A studio, launched the Gala Music platform, and announced the company’s upcoming launch of Spider Tanks, the world’s first NFT esport. Each character has it own specific perks and attributes that the owner can play as in game. While blockchain game companies have raised a lot of money ( $1.2 billion of $3.4 billion raised by all game startups in the first quarter), the player base has been small. Reaching the mainstream — even amid an outcry over objections to NFTs from some gamers — has become the goal of all blockchain game companies focusing on high-quality content.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has been outspoken about Web3, in particular NFTs and what role these technologies might play in the eventual metaverse. The Web3 movement has become a lightning rod for controversy in the game industry, with scores of developers and players alike decrying NFTs and other crypto products as overhyped nonsense that risks exploiting players and in some cases giving cover to outright fraud. “Epic is a pioneer and visionary in the video game industry.

With dozens of games on the horizon and several already in various stages of presale or beta play, Gala is quickly becoming the world leaders in own-your-experience gaming. Gala Games is a Web3 games company that uses decentralization, player ownership and reward economies to create a revolutionary new way of gaming. Gala's GRIT, a ride-or-die battle royale set in the Wild West, will be the inaugural blockchain game to be available on the Epic Games Store. GRIT is a core battle royale game built on the Unreal Engine with realistic physics and unique twists. The public will have "The Gunslinger Box" sale access on June 9th.

The "Galaxia" horse is an epic skin with only " 500 in existence," according to one Twitter user. NFTs and cryptocurrencies have suffered quite a bit in recent months, with NFT sales down 92% as of May 2 and one stablecoin losing 99% of its value. At Grit's announcement during Gala Games' Galaverse event (which included a live bar fight), attendees were given the opportunity to purchase a Gunslinger Box for the low price of $600. That might sound expensive, but compared to what Founders Node License Holders will be paying tomorrow ($1,200), it's practically a steal.

The GALA crypto is on the rise as Gala Games prepares for its newest game, a Wild West gunslinger, to be released through Epic Games.

Indeed, this corner of the market has been lagging as a result of the market-wide downturn. On the date of publication, Brenden Rearick did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article. But while GALA enjoyed a meteoric rise in late 2021 on the back of the play-to-earn (P2E) crypto surge, it is now stuck in a rut. It marks the beginning of a potentially long and fruitful partnership with one of the biggest studios in video games today. Since launching in 2019, Gala Games has built up a lengthy portfolio of video games centered around blockchain technology. In a time when the metaverse and blockchain gaming seem to be slumping, Gala Games (GALA-USD) is standing tall.

Developer and publisher Epic Games will make its official foray into crypto with Grit, a battle royale game from blockchain video game company Gala Games.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with asset flipping, an often reductive term that refers to the time, money, and hair-saving practice of using pre-made assets in game development, but advertising pre-made assets as “epic” in any way feels scummy. The texture and shading looks like something a tween might produce after playing too much Roblox, something that would be impressive if Gala’s developers were indeed going through the growing pains of puberty, but the final product isn’t the landmark in Web3 that Gala claims. This listing is clean of any reference to Web3, crypto, or the blockchain and hasn’t been updated since January 25, when Team Grit announced a delay and before it partnered with Gala. Gala Games did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Grit is a remarkably beige-colored battle royale set in the wild, wild west. You will likely have to wait a bit before the crypto gods descend and turn all of gaming into a Buttcoin valued at two whole cents. Previously, Epic Games clashed with video game marketplace Steam, which took a firm no-NFT stance in 2021.

It looks like the Epic Games Store is getting its first NFT game. Um… yee haw? Grit was announced in 2021 as a cowboy battle royale coming to Steam, ...

Meanwhile, Grit still has a page on the Steam store, which is odd because Valve banned games with NFTs or cryptocurrency back in October of 2021 so it's safe to say Grit won't be launching there at all. In addition to a battle royale, Grit is now an NFT game. While there's still no launch date, Grit now has a page on the Epic Games Store and is listed as "coming soon."

Epic Games intends to list Web3 gaming company Gala Games' wild west shooter GRIT as the first NFT-based game on the Epic Games Store.

Since launching its $100 million funds to invest in blockchain gaming, Gala Games has been all over the market. Gala Games will share more details about the game unveiled during its Galaverse from June 6-9. John Oswald, President of Games at Gala Games, believes that the move will give added legitimacy to blockchain gaming.

Wild West-themed gunslinger game Grit will become the first web3 game hosted on the Epic Games Store, Gala Games announced on Monday.

Its NFT collection of 10,000 gunslinger avatars doubled in price from $600 on Monday to $1,200 on Tuesday, and on June 9 the public sale will kick off with a minimum price of $1,500 per NFT. Developed by Team Grit, the game will become available to players later this year and marks another attempt by web3 gaming developers to go mainstream. While Epic's CEO Tim Sweeney has said he is open to web3 gaming, competitor Valve banned games that use blockchain technology on its distribution platform Steam last year.
