Animoca Brands and One Championship are teaming up to launch an MMA mobile fighting game. They are currently developing this Web3 game title and aiming for a 2024 release.
One Championship is the largest martial arts organization in the world, and it has partnered with Animoca Brands, which is a game software company that publishes a broad portfolio of blockchain and traditional games.
The collaboration was announced this week, and under the deal, they will be creating a “ONE Fight Arena,” which has been described as an NFT-powered game that will feature the martial arts organization’s lineup of world-class martial artists. They will also include characters from their massive IP library.
The mixed martial arts (MMA) game is being developed under Animoca Brands’ subsidiary, Notre Game, and One Championship. The beta test for the “One Fight Arena” is set to start later this year, with no exact date yet.
According to Decrypt, the athletes and MMA artists on the roster will become non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the game. This is the system to give owners verifiable authenticity and statistics on the characters’ rarity.
It was added that Notre Game and One Championship are also planning to release “One Fight Arena” as a free-to-play mobile game. This version is ideal for gamers who want to play for free as there is entirely no token involved.
“We are thrilled to work with an industry leader in Animoca Brands to launch ONE Fight Arena, our first Web3-enhanced video game,” One Chanpionship’s co-founder and president, Hua Fung Teh, said in a press release. “This partnership will give us the opportunity to engage with our global fanbase at a deeper level through a unique gaming experience.”
Animoca Brands’ co-founder and executive chairman, Yat Siu, also commented, “Our partnership with ONE to create ONE Fight Arena will enable the fans of the world’s largest martial arts organization to access a novel gaming experience with true digital ownership at its core. We look forward to assisting ONE to more closely connect with its fans in deep and meaningful ways.”
