US developer SunSpear Games has announced its PC-based Immortal: Gates of Pyre will launch on Immutable.

As for SunSpear, the studio initially unveiled Immortal: Gates of Pyre in 2021, and has since raised funds through Kickstarter. Partnering with Immutable also means it will receive IMX tokens, granted by the Digital Worlds Foundation’s (aka IMX Ecosystem Foundation) $200 million investment fund, to accelerate the game’s development. The foundation is also offering support in the form of gas fees for onchain transactions, which will be paid through the foundation.

Described as a fantasy RTS in which players can collect various items by completing certain milestones, web3 features in Immortal: Gates of Pyre include skins and mods for the Immortal characters, in addition to displayable traits reflecting a player’s status. 

“Developing our first RTS game has been a dream of ours. As a company founded by revered StarCraft modders, we are committed to offering players a choice on what and how they interact with our game,” said SunSpear Games CEO and co-chairman Kevin Wagner.

“We’re thrilled to work with Immutable and their host of resources and tools to enhance the gameplay experience for players.”

“This partnership not only allows us to bring groundbreaking games to the community but also unlocks new opportunities in web3 gaming. We couldn’t be more excited about what the future holds for this collaboration and the value it will bring to the player community,” commented Immutable co-founder and president Robbie Ferguson.

With a current count of 138 games officially listed on its network, Immutable added 61 new titles during the first half of 2024. The increase correlates with the increasing number of new accounts and wallets created since Immutable’s zkEVM mainnet went live earlier this year, mainly driven by the launch of games and airdrop campaigns on the network.

In the middle of August, all-time total accounts created on Immutable were 6 million. Half-way into September, it has hit 7 million. In regards to wallet addresses, the current total is 8 million.
