Electronic musician Joel “Deadmau5” Zimmerman, who previously launched his own music NFTs starting in 2021 – is also promoting the game and will use NNWT footage on its upcoming tour starting Thursday in Tokyo, Japan.
Deadmau5 is a well-known supercar fan himself. He had previously entered the legal sector quarrel with Ferrari in 2014 about his Nyan Cat-themed wrap and custom details for his Ferrari 458 Italia Spider, cheekily dubbed the ‘Purrari’.
Mythical Games raises $37 million while NFL Rivals has over 1 million downloads
For Nitro Nation World Tour, the electronic artist is lending his name to an in-game Deadmau5 themed car, though it’s unclear if it will feature the same kind of blue wrap. Gamers will have to compete in a Deadmau5 racing event to win the exclusive car. He previously worked with Mythical Games on the in-game content of Blanko’s Block Party.
In a statement, Deadmau5 said he has “always loved living on the cutting edge of technology” and that the game will be launched as part of his Day of the Deadmau5 concerts.
“I’ve said before that music is 80% fun and 20% work. Video games for me are all about fun,” he added. “I hope you will enjoy playing the game as much as I did.”
Nitro Nation World Tour NFTs will be on Mythical’s Mythos blockchain. In addition to auto NFTs, players also have the option to purchase an NFT of their ownWorkplace”, which is upgradeable, comes in four different rarity levels and allows players to upgrade their cars with boosts to different stats compared to the free version.
The iOS and Android app is free to download and has been downloaded more than 100,000 times Google’s Play Store during the earlier soft launch period.
