Legacy, Peter Molyneux’s new blockchain game, wants to reinvent the gaming experience with non-fungible tokens.
Legacy, a web3 business simulator and city management game from Peter Molyneux, best known for the Fable series, is now available from Gala Games for PC and Mac.
The video game developed by the 22Cans studio is based on the GalaChain blockchain. It allows players to store and connect in-game items to and from the ethereum (eth) blockchain to trade on secondary nft marketplaces such as OpenSea, Rarible, and Magic Eden.
In Legacy, players can conceive and grow a city on land sold in the form of NFTs. Players can also sell or trade in-game items (e.g. workers or factories) on GALA markets, a native token of the GalaChain network.
According to Iain Wright, design director at 22Cans, the game incorporates “the best features” of simulation video games in combination with blockchain technology.
In addition to GALA, there is also an in-game currency called Gems, which is not a token minted by GalaChain but can be purchased with GALA. Although gems are non-transferable and cannot be used to purchase land, these currencies allow you to participate in various multi-level in-game events.
Although Legacy has barely arrived at Gala Games, 22Cans is already working on a new game, reportedly codenamed MOAT, set in the world of Albion. Amid the news, GALA plummeted 10%, hitting the $0.017 mark, according to CoinMarketCap.
British video game designer Peter Molyneux is best known in the gaming industry for creating the god game genre with products such as Godus, Populous, and Dungeon Keeper. He was also behind the original video games Fable and Theme Park.
