Historic Empires Join Epic Games Store for Expansion into Web3 Realm
Medieval Empires: A Revolutionary Cross-Platform Strategy Game
Medieval Empires, a captivating strategy game set in the 13th century, has officially debuted on the Epic Games Store, expanding its reach to a broader audience. The game is unique in its cross-platform availability, with plans to introduce mobile versions in the near future, enhancing accessibility beyond traditional PC players.
The game's ecosystem is supported by blockchain infrastructure, offering an optional "play and own" model that integrates blockchain technology. This model features non-fungible tokens (NFTs), such as the Genesis Commander NFT, a native token called $MEE, and a digital economy that supports land purchases, character upgrades, and token staking for rewards.
The optional blockchain elements are designed to support a Web3 ecosystem via Immutable zkEVM and Polygon networks. Account creation is simplified through the Immutable Passport system linked to social media credentials.
Medieval Empires has garnered a positive and growing market presence since its beta launch in May 2024. The game has witnessed notable milestones, including a surge in $MEE token price (240% increase before the Epic Games listing). Seasonal loyalty programs, competitive leaderboards, and new factions—such as the recently added Crusader faction—have added depth to the gameplay.
The game revolves around historical figures like Ertugrul Gazi, a Turkish leader, and the English Crusaders led by Edward Longshanks. Future expansions will introduce other factions such as the Mongols and Byzantines.
Notable medieval empire strategy games like Total War: Medieval II and Age of Empires IV do not currently feature blockchain elements but focus on new campaigns and game modes on traditional platforms. This sets Medieval Empires apart, as it uniquely blends cross-platform expansion and optional blockchain features with a positive, growing market presence.
The development team is currently concentrating efforts on completing the mobile version and expanding the game world with additional content and new factions. The Turkish actor Engin Altan Duzyatan portrays the character of Ertugrul Gazi in the game. Mobile versions for iOS and Android are currently in beta testing.
- As Medieval Empires prepares to launch mobile versions of its revolutionary strategy game, players can anticipate managing their empires using smartphones, merging technology with medieval history.
- Despite traditional strategy games like Total War: Medieval II and Age of Empires IV not yet incorporating blockchain elements, Medieval Empires sets itself apart by combining smartphones and smart gadgets with optional blockchain features.
