The National Football League and the National Football League Players Association have formed a partnership with gaming technology studio Mythical Games to create a video game.
Fans will have the chance to purchase limited-quantity collections of 3D NFL-themed NFTs in a series of drops prior to the game's release. The actual game will allow fans to compete against each other as the general manager of a team in a fantasy-style environment while assembling rosters with their favorite players through a play-and-own system.
Joe Ruggiero said that they are thrilled to partner with Mythical Games on a game that delivers new play-to-own NFT capabilities, creating a new adventure for fans who love to play football games.
Major League Baseball announced a partnership with SoRare on a similar NFT-style game for fan interaction a short time ago. Professional sports leagues are looking for new ways to engage with fans and are taking advantage of the NFT craze while combining it with the interest in fantasy football and other games.
Fans will have access to special events, in-game rewards, and other features to reward interaction and game play, as well as owning the NFTs.
Jamie Jackson, the chief creative officer at Mythical Games, said that partnering with the NFL to drive new fan and player engagement through fresh game design and the benefits of Web3 is an exciting moment for them.
