The game marketplace of Fortnite creator Epic Games has listed its first non-fungible token (NFT)-powered Web3 title, Mythical Games’ Blankos Block Party, according to a press release. The release comes less than a year after Mythical Games raised $150 million in a Series C funding round at a $1.25 billion valuation.

Blankos Block Party is a free-to-play multiplayer party game centered around unique collectible digital vinyl toys called Blankos, non-fungible tokens that can be bought, upgraded and sold within the game. The game was co-developed by Mythical Games and Third Kind Games.
