Counting down the 15 upcoming Web3 games to be launched on the Epic Games Store

Anticipating the Top 15 Upcoming Web3 Games to Hit the Epic Games Store Countdown

Author: Zen, LianGuaiNews

Since November, the ILV token price of the RPG blockchain game Illuvium has doubled, rising from a high of $0.77 to $1.58 on November 12th (now around $1.44). During the continuous rise in the past two weeks, Illuvium announced on November 8th that it plans to launch on the Epic Games Store on November 28th, which further boosted the token price from around $1.17.

According to Epic’s 2022 annual report data, Epic Games Store has over 230 million PC users. As a traditional gaming platform, compared to the leading Steam’s reluctance towards Web3 games, Epic Games seems to be more open-minded. In March of this year, Epic Games’ general manager Steve Allison stated that the game store will launch nearly 20 crypto games before early 2024, but the company will not participate in the development or distribution of any such games.

• Digital Nomad Visa Guide Over 40 countries in 5 continents to help you embark on a digital nomadic journey.

While welcoming Web3 games, the Epic Games Store also has various requirements and regulations for products that use blockchain technology, including prohibiting any links to blockchain, NFT, or cryptocurrency marketplaces, not promoting gambling activities, not providing products or services to users in China and South Korea, and Epic Games has the right to remove products using blockchain technology from the store at any time based on market behavior (such as to deal with issues that may have a negative impact on players).

Epic Games Store offers much greater exposure and player base than any current Web3 game platform, providing opportunities for Web3 games eager to enter the mainstream player market. In addition to Illuvium, other Web3 games, such as the NFT card game LianGuairallel, are also planning or have already entered the Epic Games Store. According to LianGuaiNews statistics, there are currently 77 games listed in the Epic Games Store, with 41 games set to launch, surpassing the “small goal” of having over 20 games already on the platform. Based on game popularity and community buzz, LianGuaiNews has selected 15 Web3 games from those soon-to-be-launched games on the Epic Games Store for a brief introduction.
