Ethereum Gaming platform Unchangeable announced on Tuesday that it is partnering with Marblex, the blockchain gaming arm of South Korean gaming giant Netmarble, with the parties working together to migrate the Marblex ecosystem and its top games to Immutable zkEVM.
Migrating Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, A3: Still Alive, and Meta World: My City from layer-1 Klaytn blockchain to Ethereum layer-2 network Immutable zkEVM, powered by Polygon‘s zkEVM scaling technology.
“This is one of the most important partnerships we have made to date,” said Robbie Ferguson, co-founder and president of Immutable, in a press release. “South Korea is an exciting hub of developer activity in Web3 gaming, and so are Marblex and Netmarble. pioneers here.”
The alliance will also include an ‘Ecosystem Boost Program’, which will provide up to $20 million in support to developers to attract new titles to Marblex and Immutable.
“To maximize the reach of these experiences and ensure scalability for both existing and future titles, partnering with a proven leader in Web3 gaming was crucial,” said Marblex CEO Hong Jin Pyo in a press release. “That’s why Immutable and their industry-leading zkEVM chain was the right choice.”
In January, Marblex said this would be the case work with layer-1 blockchain network Saga to support its future games, with Saga also helping with user acquisition. But Saga’s Network is designed to launch special chains and can be used to support games and apps launched on other blockchain networks.
It’s not immediately clear whether the unchangeable migration will impact those plans with Saga. Declutter‘s GG asked an Immutable representative for clarification, but did not immediately receive a response.
