Atari Brings Its IP And Licenses To The Enjin Platform: Report

Atari brings its iconic IP and licenses into the Enjin multiverse, securing its foray into the blockchain space with another partnership as we can see in today’s crypto news.

Gaming giant Atari brings its IP and licenses integrated into games in the Enjin platform. The first notable advantage from this new partnership according to a blog post from the company will be a range of cosmetic nonfungible tokens or NFTS, to be used in a brand new addition for the legendary football game franchise Kick Off.

The original Kick-Off was initially released back in 1989 for the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga and was described at that time as the best “footy game to have appeared on any machine.” The developer eBAllR Games brings the series up to date into the blockchain era with the upcoming Kick Off Evolution scheduled to be launched for the second quarter of 2021 along with the release into the Enjin multiverse.

Enjin is an Ethereum-based platform that provides a range of tools for developers so they can easily integrate blockchain features into their games. The Enjin multiverse is an ecosystem where the gamers built within the platform can share assets between game universes in the form of non-fungible tokens. Enjin’s Director of Business Development Alex Russman said:

 “We are very excited about this collaboration with Atari and its initiation with our latest Enjin Adopter, eBallR Games. Atari resonates with all ages as the household name synonymous with gaming and its belief in blockchain shows the maturity of this technology and the tools now available.”

Atari was making strides into the blockchain space and the gaming market for quite some time now. Back in March, it announced a new collaboration with the Sandbox, licensing its classic IP For use in the Sandbox universe. The new reboot of Atari’s classic VCS will feature blockchain technology as per the reports back in September. The company even announced and launched a new token dubbed ATRI, and even planned to provide a unified token for the entire blockchain-based gaming community. However, after a few mishaps, during the sale, the token price dropped by 70% immediately after the trading started.
