Bored Ape Yacht Club and Animoca Brands To Make Blockchain NFT game

BAYC and Animoca Brands NFT Game

HONG KONG — Animoca Brands and Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) today announced a partnership to develop and publish a blockchain game utilizing BAYC’s hugely popular Bored Ape non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of 10,000 NFT images that have become entrenched in popular culture, gaining widespread attention and even setting a US$26 million sale record for crypto art sold on fine arts auction house Sotheby’s.

BAYC’s creators Yuga Labs have produced NFT collections valued at north of $3 billion and established one of the most dedicated communities in the NFT market.

Every Bored Ape NFT is unique and programmatically generated from over 170 possible traits, including expression, headwear, clothing, and more. Bored Ape NFTs grant their owners access to members-only benefits ranging from merchandise drops to exclusive events. Although Bored Ape NFTs were originally sold at 0.08 ether (ETH), their ground-breaking style has resulted in community fervor that led to Bored Ape #8817 being sold for $3.4 million at Sotheby’s in October.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: “NFTs have emerged as a store of culture. There are very few icons that are able to represent the surging world of NFTs as powerfully as Bored Ape Yacht Club, which is why we, as a group and in aggregate, hold a significant number of them. We are incredibly excited and proud to collaborate on a game for this cultural milestone.”

“We’re excited to work with Animoca Brands to grow the BAYC universe and expand the utility and benefits offered to all Bored Ape NFT holders,” said a Yuga Labs spokesperson. “Animoca Brands is a trailblazer in the blockchain gaming space with a proven track record of delivering. We can’t wait to share more with the community about what we’re building.”

The new game is expected to release in Q2 of 2022 and will feature play-to-earn mechanics.
