AB de Villiers is
pivoting to blockchain gaming with Myria. The legendary South
African Cricketer has collaborated with the blockchain gaming developer to
launch a mobile play-and-earn (P&E) game. De Villiers’ new project will be
the celebrity-backed cricket blockchain game integrated with a P&E
ecosystem and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The game will be
exclusively available on mobile. The team behind the project said its aim is to
onboard millions of cricket fans to blockchain gaming. The global cricket fan base is
estimated to be about 2.5 billion.
The partnership will
also explore ways of branding the new project as they build a community around
it by creating highly engaging features in the game by leveraging their love
and understanding of cricket.
Commenting on his new
initiative, AB de Villiers said: “It’s always been about cricket. It’s always
been about entertaining the crowds. I’m constantly looking for ways to change
the game and building my blockchain-enabled cricket game on the Myria platform
is the next step for me.”
Myria is a
comprehensive blockchain game development platform launched in 2021 to create a
gateway to Web3 gaming. The startup also develops its own range of free-to-play
AAA titles in addition to helping bring the best blockchain games to life.
Its full-stack game
developer kit is used by partner studios to build their games in the Myria
ecosystem.
Brendan Duhamel,
Myria’s Head of Blockchain said in the new era of gaming, cricket and crypto
have the ability to bring together two of the most passionate communities for
experiential entertainment.
“Cricket icon and
innovator, AB de Villiers, leads the cricket industry to move the enthusiasm
people have for cricket into the digital realm,” he said, adding: “AB has
placed his trust in Myria’s platform to bring his blockchain-enabled cricket
game to life and together we’ll usher in a future of empowered gamers and
communities.”
AB de Villiers was
named the greatest batsman of all time by the Indian Premier League, the
country’s top-tier cricket competition, which also earned him the GOAT
(greatest of all time) in cricket title.
The game will also
leverage other blockchain gaming features like NFTs to add fun thus ensuring
that players are not drawn to it for the sake of earning alone.
“The main thing is that
there is no compromise,” AB de Villiers stated when speaking about the game.
“My cricket game will be fun and exciting just like a match on the field, but
it will also be equitable and empower digital asset ownership. Myria shares my
commitment and together we will bring new cricket experiences to my fans.”
