Sky Mavis, the creator of the widely popular non-fungible token (NFT) project Axie Infinity, is taking a significant step forward by launching its highly acclaimed card-based strategy game, Axie Infinity: Origins, on the Apple App Store. This move aims to expand the game's reach and accessibility to a broader audience in key markets across Latin America and Asia, solidifying Axie Infinity's position as a global gaming sensation.
Previously available in limited regions on the Google Play store and through the company's Mavis Hub, the card-based strategy game is now making its way to Apple users in countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Axie Infinity: Origins provides players with free non-NFT "starter" characters, offering an immersive gaming experience that combines strategy, collectibles, and the thrill of competition. With 1.5 million installs across all platforms, the game is set to continue its global expansion and attract even more players through both Google and Apple mobile users.
In addition to the game's launch on the Apple App Store, Sky Mavis is introducing Mavis Market, a carefully curated NFT marketplace powered by the company's native Ronin blockchain. This marketplace will feature select collectibles from third-party game or dapp developers who deploy on Ronin, further enriching the Axie Infinity ecosystem. Moreover, the company has plans to launch a merchandise store, allowing fans to engage with the Axie Infinity brand beyond the virtual realm.
Sky Mavis remains committed to its vision of creating a player-owner digital nation and is thrilled to collaborate with app stores to open up its ecosystem to a new generation of players. With ongoing efforts to enhance security and decentralization, such as the recent overhaul of Ronin's core systems, Axie Infinity has bounced back from a significant hack last year. The partnership with game development studios, including Tribes Studio,Bali Games, Directive Games, and Bowled.io, has further expanded the Axie Infinity universe, enabling other games to tap into the rich Axie IP and offer unique experiences to their players.
As Axie Infinity: Origins sets foot on the Apple App Store, it ushers in a new era of gaming accessibility and invites players from Latin America and Asia to immerse themselves in the captivating world of Axie Infinity. With its player-centric approach and continuous expansion efforts, Axie Infinity remains at the forefront of the NFT gaming revolution, shaping the future of interactive entertainment.
