The transition to Mantle may require players to migrate their in-game assets to the new protocol.
While specific details regarding the migration process have not been provided, Bright Star Studios has experience with similar transitions, having previously moved from the Polygon network to Immutable x, and players should anticipate a structured process that could take several weeks, similar to the last migration.
“By integrating Mantle’s advanced blockchain capabilities, we are improving the way players control their in-game assets and providing an unprecedented onboarding experience for all players who love MMORPGs, regardless of whether they are web3 native or not,” said Mark Laursen, Founder and CEO of Bright Star Studios.
Key Features and Improvements
Key improvements during the migration include the integration of Mantle’s modular ethereum rollup technology.
This technology is designed to ensure secure, scalable, and low-fee transactions within Ember Sword, making it easier for players to interact with the in-game economy without facing high transaction costs or delays.
“Partnering with Mantle allows us to create a more fruitful and engaging player economy,” said Joris Huijbregts, Founder and Development Director at Bright Star Studios. “We are excited to integrate with the best tools and partners within the Mantle ecosystem to create a scalable and sustainable user experience for our players. This is the future of gaming, where player engagement and control of their in-game assets are paramount.”
The migration is also expected to simplify the onboarding process, making it more accessible to players who are not familiar with blockchain technology. This collaboration also reflects a broader trend in the gaming industry towards integrating blockchain technology to improve player experiences.
“Their vision of enabling highly accessible, player-centric, blockchain-enabled gaming aligns perfectly with our mission of enabling more players to enjoy blockchain-enhanced experiences,” added Geezee, Director of Gaming at Mantle.
