Web3 ecosystem for gaming Worldwide Asset Exchange (WAX) announced that its blockchain-based, wrestling-themed non-fungible token (NFT) game Brawlers has launched on the major digital distribution platform Epic Games Store (EGS) — becoming available to more than 230 million PC gamers worldwide.

"These aren't just your run-of-the-mill Brawlers; they're your golden ticket to dominating the virtual wrestling arena and ascending to the pinnacle of gaming glory," the ESG says.

Launched in 2018 as a software client for Microsoft Windows and macOS, the ESG is a video game digital distribution service and storefront operated by Epic Games, the developer of the massively popular Fortnite.

Brawlers is a Web3-based, Player-vs-Player (PVP) card game co-designed by renowned mathematician, game designer, and Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield.

Per the press release shared with Cryptonews,

“With over 35 million daily and 70 million monthly active users on the platform, Brawlers’ EGS debut is a massive milestone for the mass adoption of Web3.”

Michael Rubinelli, Chief Gaming Officer at WAX, commented that Brawlers’ launch on “such a massive traditional gaming platform […] is a truly momentous next step on our journey to the mass adoption of Web3,” and added that,

“This launch further accelerates the paradigm shift in gaming as a whole, bringing blockchain-powered fairness, inclusivity, and player-centric approach even closer to the mainstream audience.”

Blockchain Brawlers is the first game from WAX’s dedicated gaming studio, Tyranno Studios, led by Michael Rubinelli, a 25-year veteran of the gaming industry and alumni of Disney, Playdom, Electronic Arts, and THQ, said the announcement.
