In a strategic move to diversify its blockchain assets, Crypto.com has unveiled its inaugural game, “Loaded Lions: Mane City,” built on the Cronos chain. This launch marks another milestone in the ongoing fusion of blockchain technology and gaming, as Crypto.com collaborates with the Cronos Play SDK team to introduce a captivating gaming experience with NFT utility.
“Loaded Lions: Mane City” offers players a dynamic simulation environment where they can craft sprawling cities and opulent mansions. The game includes innovative features such as mansion customization, a real-time prize pool, and an in-game marketplace that simplifies business and blueprint transactions. Gold and diamonds, obtained through in-game land ownership and various virtual businesses like gyms, banks, and music stores, serve as vital in-game resources.
To enter the game, players only need to possess a Land NFT from Crypto.com’s “Land – The First Frontier” NFT collection, where each NFT represents a piece of the virtual terrain within Mane City. While currently in its beta phase, Mane City is poised for continuous updates, promising competitive gaming modes, expanded NFT integrations, and features designed to enhance community engagement.
The Loaded Lions series pays homage to Crypto.com’s pioneering NFT collection, which initially featured 10,000 distinct profile pictures created by the platform’s creative team. Henrik Johansson, Global Head of Growth at Crypto.com, expressed excitement about this development, stating, “This is the first-ever game for Loaded Lions, our flagship NFT collection, and we hope our community finds the experience exciting and engaging as we pioneer and evolve the technology.”
He further emphasized Crypto.com’s commitment to expanding its reach and improving offerings within the burgeoning realm of blockchain gaming, which plays a crucial role in the Web3 ecosystem. Players can strategize, personalize, and expand their in-game assets, with an upcoming competitive mode set to introduce leaderboard challenges influenced by accumulated gold. Crypto.com’s foray into blockchain gaming signifies its dedication to embracing technological innovations and diversifying its portfolio.
