October 19 will mark the release of the highly anticipated racing game, “Formula E: High Voltage,” by Animoca Brands, a prominent player in the world of Web3 gaming.
Green Racing for the Future
Formula E, known for its all-electric car races, has steadily gained traction since its inception. Its growing popularity signifies the rising global interest in eco-friendly transportation and renewable energy solutions. To align with these green principles, “Formula E: High Voltage” was developed on the energy-efficient Flow blockchain through a collaboration between Animoca Brands and Amber, a gaming studio based in Bucharest.
As Animoca Brands emphasized, the creation of NFTs on Flow consumes less energy than posting a single image on Instagram or conducting a Google search. This strong commitment to sustainability mirrors Formula E’s core mission to tackle climate change by encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles. Notably, Formula E has strived to maintain a net zero carbon footprint from the outset.
Claim Your Racing Team
When players venture into this game, they’ll be granted four NFTs – two cars and two drivers. This initial offering enables players to kickstart their racing journey with their very own electric racing team and vehicles. The game emulates the thrilling experience of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by allowing players to race on iconic city tracks, including Rome, Berlin, New York, and London.
Facing Tough Competition
While Animoca Brands’ latest title holds considerable promise, it enters a competitive field with the likes of “Nitro Nation,” a racing game recently launched by Mythical Games. Mythical Games achieved notable success with “NFT Rivals” and is now targeting the racing genre through licensing agreements with renowned car brands. As a result, “Nitro Nation” offers players the chance to race with beautifully designed NFT vehicles from prestigious manufacturers like McLaren, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Volkswagen, and Subaru. This adds a new layer of competition within the racing game sector.
