Netmarble, a South Korean online gaming company, has revealed plans to release a dozen new games based on blockchain and metaverse technologies. In a press conference, Bang Jun-hyuk, the billionaire founder and chairman of Netmarble, said: “The blockchain-based games made by Netmarble will integrate the enjoyment of games, along with intangible assets through NFT, and I believe that the gaming industry will grow even bigger than it is now.” Bang, 53, revealed that Netmarble is set to launch 20 new games, with blockchain technology accounting for roughly 70% of them. One of the new games, A3: Still Alive, is a play-to-earn game that allows gamers to utilize bitcoin to monetize intangible in-game assets like weapons. A3: Still Alive will be Netmarble’s first play-to-earn game, and it will be out in March. According to Bang, the majority of the 20 new games are geared towards gamers overseas. In Korea, play-to-earn games are prohibited because officials are concerned that they may encourage youth to become addicted to gambling. The Korean Game Rating And Administration Committee said: “If an in-game system allows users to exchange items with paid goods, there may be a chance of speculation, where the game may fall into the ‘age 18+’ classification, and not available for the youth under 18.”The post Korean Gaming Giant Netmarble to Launch 20 New Games appeared first on Cryptoknowmics-Crypto News and Media Platform.
