Web3-powered games are some of the most popular use cases coming from blockchain technology. Not only have they been profitable, but they have also driven the development of virtual reality ecosystems. With previous successes with games like Axie Infinity, Sky Mavis, through its Ronin blockchain, has now further developed its impressive ecosystem.
In this article, we delve into the Ronin blockchain and its available games. How much has changed in Ronin? Let’s find out!
At its peak, Axie Infinity was the most popular title in this new era of blockchain gaming, gaining an active user base and generating huge revenue for Sky Mavis. However, an exploitation of its Ronin chain, a general market slowdown and complaints about its economic model led to a gradual loss of favor.
Now, however, Sky Mavis’ first Ronin Gaming Blockchain has begun to realize its true potential as the go-to network for Web3 gaming. To this end, the company has partnered with a number of game studios to introduce new IPs to its ecosystem. These titles are expected to attract more users to the blockchain and inspire growth from within.
The 6 best Ronin games
1. The Arena of Machines
The Arena of Machines is a shooting game released by the development studio Directivo. At first, The Machines Arena was not initially intended as a Web3 game. However, through the partnership with Sky Mavis, the team transitioned into the Web3 gaming industry.
The game is a fast-paced hero shooting game where participants fight against each other. Players can compete against other players or try their luck in Player vs. Environment modes. Additionally, while in the arena, the game’s characters are represented by multiple heroes with unique abilities and weapons.
Although the game was released on the Ronin chain, it is currently released in its closed beta phase and anyone can request access to join. According to the team, it will use players’ experience in the closed beta to improve gameplay and fix any bugs.
With Web3 integration, The Machines Arena, once fully launched, will feature digital collectibles. The team also plans to release the game on Epic Games and add mobile versions for Android and iOS.
2. Battle Bears
Battle Bears is presented as a top-down shooter developed by SkyVu. Like most of the other games on this list, the game was not initially created for Web3 games. However, the team wants to take advantage of the Ronin integration to offer a more interesting experience to its users.
The battle features five different modes that users can participate in for an exciting gaming experience. At the beginning of the game, each player receives exclusive skins that will help them on their way on the battlefield. Meanwhile, an additional community element also allows players to connect and share their experiences.
3. bowling
Bowled is a social gaming platform from Bali Games, the studio behind Anipang, a game with over 130 million downloads. Bowled allows users to participate in games, own in-game sports assets, and interact with their favorite sports influencers.
The game is popular among cricket lovers in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, allowing them to collect stars from all teams and win games.
While Bowled was not initially created as a Web3 game, it will include NFTs and in-game assets when it launches on Ronin. Users will also earn rewards and be able to make in-app purchases, while the game also has a dedicated nft marketplace where users can trade and trade NFTs.
Sky Mavis hopes to incorporate users from regions where the game is currently popular through the platform. Additionally, the partnership will also see the integration of other popular sports such as basketball and football.
4. Pixels
Pixels, a newcomer to the Ronin blockchain, was originally started on the Polygon Network, before switching sides. This recent acquisition marks a watershed moment for Ronin, as Pixels already has a large following and an established gaming network.
Throughout the title, players can embark on farming and exploration adventures, while an additional social level allows them to interact with each other dressed as their favorite PFP NFTs. Additionally, players can also purchase their own personal plot of nft virtual land on which to develop their digital farm.
5. Tribes: Solas Island
Tribesters, an open-world MMO game from community-led game studio Tribes Studio. The game will launch on the Ronin blockchain, courtesy of the partnership with Sky Mavis.
Before that, the team wants to launch a community engagement platform. The platform will allow the game community to participate in the development of the game and earn rewards.
According to information on Ronin’s website, the game is a platform where “users can work together to create a creative Web3 experience.”
6. Axie Match 3
Axie Match 3 is a yet-to-be-released game on the Ronin blockchain created by Bali Games, the same studio behind Bowled. According to information on the Ronin website, the game is a Match-3 puzzle with a player versus player league and championship.
The mobile game is inspired by Sky Mavis’ Axie Infinity and will not only expand Ronin’s reach but also attract Axie Infinity lovers to the platform.
Last words
All of these recent developments show that Sky Mavis aims to play a major role in the Web3 gaming industry. The new games in its Ronin chain have the potential to be big hits, especially those with an established following outside of the Web3 space.
