Web3 hosts a Viking-Crypto raid with a unique gamified NFT minting experience

cointelegraph.com:

Gaming has become one of the most prolific industries impacted by blockchain technology. From in-game transactions to nonfungible tokens (NFTs), the gaming space has taken full advantage of blockchain development. Accounting for almost half of the blockchain activity in early 2023, blockchain gaming is the market’s leading Web3 transformation.

DappRadar’s industry report shows that more than 1.15 million users are actively using their wallets for blockchain gaming, skyrocketing the Web3-gaming-related activities within the space to 7.4 billion transactions. As Web3 gaming becomes a mainstream attraction, investments in the blockchain space are following user interest as well. According to another report, over $7.6 billion was raised by Web3 gaming and metaverse projects in 2022.

The fast-growing environment for Web3 gaming enables projects to blend different aspects of technology and entertainment to get unique results. As NFTs become a core part of the Web3 space, blockchain games are seeking to utilize them in different ways to provide interesting experiences. Maxelium Games, a Norwegian game developer company, aims to act as a bridge between the AAA production quality of the gaming world and the innovation and scalability of Web3.

The Oslo-based team includes 70 developers in 10 countries working on building a “gamified NFT-minting experience” for players. After years of development, Maxelium Games built Viking Crypto Punks, a Viking-themed NFT minting experience game. Players will have access to the game in the second half 2023, and will be able to customize their characters and make different action choices during the exploration of the storyline taking place in Midgard.
