According to the release, the deal marks Tribe Gaming’s first foray into blockchain gaming. However, this isn’t the organisation’s first blockchain deal, having previously signed a partnership with NFT aggregator MOVE Network.
Patrick Carney, Founder and CEO at Tribe Gaming, spoke on the announcement in a release: “At Tribe, we’ve been carefully examining the right P2E project to integrate Tribe IP inside of, and collaborating with Mavia is an exciting opportunity.
“We’re bullish on the future of the project, and we’re looking forward to seeing the continued development of Mavia as the game gets closer to launch.”
Heroes of Mavia is an upcoming play-to-earn NFT game that takes place on a fantasy-themed island Mavia. Its gameplay features players building bases on minted plots of land and battle neighbouring bases and armies to earn in-game resources. This includes Mavia’s play-to-earn cryptocurrency RUBY. The game’s release is scheduled for Q4 2022.
Mavia joins Tribe Gaming’s portfolio of commercial partners, which includes the likes of Ford, Razer, Discord, Elgato, Incase, and energy drink brand G FUEL.
