Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, is delving into the world of blockchain gaming with his latest venture. The first game to come out of this endeavor is Voyager: Ascension, a fast-paced sci-fi shooter developed in collaboration with RFLXT, a company under the IOG portfolio. This game, reminiscent of Overload, is now available for free on Gala Games, with the option of purchasing a low-cost token season pass for an enhanced gaming experience.
RFLXT, a spinout from IOG, is focused on transforming classic PC games like Overload into updated versions that utilize Web3 technology. While RFLXT is part of the IOG portfolio, their interests extend beyond the Cardano platform. They aim to expand their presence across multiple chains and platforms to achieve interoperability and seamless integration between games. Partnerships with companies like Gala further their mission and open up possibilities for cross-platform gameplay, expanding the Cardano ecosystem.
RFLXT’s platform will introduce Digital Doubles, a feature that allows influencers and streamers to interact with games in unique ways. Additionally, AI-driven integration will elevate the immersion for players. The full capabilities of the platform, including Digital Doubles, will be showcased at the Rare Evo conference in Las Vegas later this year.
With Charles Hoskinson’s entry into blockchain gaming, Cardano is positioning itself as a leading platform for next-generation games. Voyager: Ascension is just the starting point of this collaboration, and we can anticipate more innovative projects to emerge in the near future. By fostering growth and interoperability across various platforms, Cardano is paving the way for a new era in blockchain gaming.
