Virtually Human Studio launches beta for Web3 Zed Champions game
1 min read
Summary
Virtual horse racing game ZED Run, launched in 2019, allowed players to own and race digital thoroughbreds and was built on blockchain and cryptocurrency technology.
Now Virtually Human Studio has launched a new game, ZED Champions, and players have a month to claim, buy or trade their NFT rewards badges which will then carry over to the new game.
Catalin Alexandru, a game economist, said the transition may not be smooth given the lack of backward compatibility with previous horse NFTs, and has led to anger and scepticism from players.
Zed Run was hit by the NFT downturn and the new game aims to move away from speculation and build a more sustainable, engaging experience.
CEO Nir Efrat joined from Candy Crush and hopes to raise more funds once Zed Champions takes off.
