FIFA Games has declared that Web 3.0 blockchain games will be the first to feature its branding after the conclusion of its long partnership with EA. For the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, four Web 3.0 games will be released, each of which incorporates blockchain technology in some way.
AI League: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022
Developed by Altered State Machine, the first game is called AI League: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Edition. It is a 4-on-4 casual football game, played amongst AI-controlled characters, with player participation at fun and tactical times.
Altered State Machine said in a separate statement that the game would debut with a 10-week prediction component, with “digital and physical prizes” offered to players who accurately anticipate real-life matches.
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in the Upland Metaverse
The second is a joint project between Uplandme and FIFA for FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Players can buy and sell virtual properties in Upland, a blockchain-based metaverse.
A virtual World Cup Lusail Stadium and Village will allow players to visit and shop for digital goods, as well as collect “official FIFA World Cup digital assets, including legendary video highlights of the tournament.”
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 on Phygtl
The third involves a partnership with the fan engagement mobile app Phygtl for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Fans can “adjust a golden-globe-football from the palm of their hands into their real-life environment, own a limited segment of it to attach and eternalize their handpicked FIFA World Cup photographs and video moments,” according to the game’s description. This is “a digital representation of eternal fandom,” in the words of FIFA.
Matchday Challenge: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Edition
Finally, Matchday Challenge: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Edition has been revealed as the fourth game. According to the press announcement, Matchday is a very entertaining casual social prediction game based on football cards.
FIFA Games’ May Statement
In the run-up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, FIFA claimed that the break from EA would enable it to release new football video games created with third-party studios and publishers, “providing more choice for football and gaming fans.”
In addition, the footballing body claimed that talks were already underway with “leading game publishers, media companies, and investors” about creating a new FIFA simulation football game for 2024 that would directly compete with EA Sports FC.
On the other hand, it also stated that other “non-simulation” video games were already in development and would go on sale in the third quarter of this year, with the first of these being referred to as a personalized gaming experience, including FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
