Coda announced the recent release of Infinite Arcade. Coda, the publishing platform serving more than 15,000 developers, will facilitate the integration of metaverse, NFT, and play-to-earn elements into mobile games thanks to Infinite Arcade.
Mobile game developers will easily access Infinite Arcade via a simple SDK. Web3 elements such as play-to-earn and tokenomics can be easily integrated into new or existing games thanks to Infinite Arcade. Thus, the difficulties faced by mobile game developers while developing Web3 games will be reduced.
With this new platform, Coda also aims to facilitate the access of nearly two billion players to Web3 games. In particular, the fact that free-to-play games can be migrated to the blockchain with their existing structures intact represents a new opportunity for many current games.
Şekip Can Gökalp, CEO of Coda and co-founder of Infinite Arcade, says the following on the subject:
“The mobile game industry stands at an inflection point with the arrival of emergent technologies like blockchain, NFTs, and Web3 ideology. We strongly believe that Web3 will drive huge benefits for the gaming industry and its passionate creator and player communities. Our vision is to eliminate barriers for mobile gaming talent to enter this space with authenticity, and bring world-class gaming content to players who are invested in ownership and community. We are still in a very initial stage with this project, and we look forward to growing as members of the gaming community start to join us. We feel it’s time to stop building walls, and focus on bridges.”
Infinite Arcade is launching with an initial network of ten mass-market casual mobile games, including Rope Rescue, Brick Builder and Court Master. Infinite Arcade’s portfolio is projected to reach at least 200 games by the end of 2022.
Şekip Can Gökalp, Coda CEO and co-founder of Infinite Arcade, added:
“Most existing blockchain-powered mobile games have fairly complex Web3 mechanics and deep game designs, thus, they don’t necessarily appeal directly to the mass audience of casual gamers. So Infinite Arcade aims to be an evolving ecosystem that combines the mass-market appeal of free-to-play casual gameplay with a range of options for individuals and Guilds to get involved in community ownership.”
Infinite Arcade was designed to appeal to all investors in time or financial investment. Infinite Arcade will be a decentralized economy where everyone can share ownership and decision-making. Those who have a smaller share in this ecosystem will contribute to the ecosystem’s growth through more games and NFTs.
The Infinite Arcade platform includes the following features:
- NFTs acting as access keys to Infinite Arcade’s Play and Earn dynamics, starting with the launch of the ‘Gamers’ NFT collection; a marketplace for creators to sell yield-generating NFTs; players to trade NFTs; breedable NFTs, with marketplace fees shared with developers and NFT creators.
- Two tokens on the Ethereum blockchain – $ARC and $TIC – which will enable developers and users to own a piece of Infinite Arcade and generate returns for NFT owning players. (Infinite Arcade’s in-game token is called Token of Infinite Choice ($TIC), its governance token is Infinite Arcade Token ($ARC).
- Virtual real estate for the community to buy and build ‘arcades’ on, helping fellow community members discover the best games and generating income from the studios that grow through this.
- A dashboard for buyers and guilds to manage passive income and make it easy for both managers and scholars to play Infinite Arcade games.
The Infinite Arcade platform’s marketplace will launch after the Gamers NFT collection goes on sale. The Gamers NFT collection will pre-sale on March 9, 2022, with full release starting a week later. The $TIC token will also be released on QuickSwap in March 2022.
Anton Horbatov, 24Play’s Chief Product Officer, said:
“With Infinite Arcade, we’re entering the future of mobile gaming. Web3 offers new opportunities for developers, such as engagement with vibrant communities and additional revenue streams. We’re excited to explore Play and Earn dynamics with Infinite Arcade, which has made the onboarding a simple journey for us.”
Coda’s support of mobile Web3 games and developers will be influential in the future of the mobile game industry. Today, rapidly growing Web3 games will reach more people with Infinite Arcade and similar platforms. The rise of Web3 in the traditional and mainstream gaming ecosystem seems to set a new future for developers and gamers alike.
