As a gaming powerhouse, Take-Two currently manages some of the industry\u2019s most popular franchises, including, but not limited to <em>Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, NBA 2K, BioShock, <\/em>and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inside-sugartown\">Inside Sugartown<\/h2>\n<p>The game will leverage Ethereum-based NFTs that bring gamers into an alternate dimension where they will be introduced to creatures known as \u2018Oras.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>As the game begins, gamers discover that three farm animals from another dimension have accidentally opened a wormhole intoSugartown, with creatures known as \u2018Oras\u2019 entering the city and transforming it into a gamified landscape that can only be accessed by gamers holding one of 10,000 Ora NFTs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These Ora NFTs will not only unlock the ability to play in Sugartown, but also provide holders with access to its embedded free-to-play minigames. Gamers will also have the ability to \u201cstake\u201d or lock their Ora NFTs in exchange for receiving Sugartown\u2019s in-game currency, called \u201cSugar\u201d that enhances and enriches the overall gaming experience. The in-game currency is not a cryptocurrency.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A Zynga representative told <em>Decrypt <\/em>that Sugartown is expected to release at \u201ca later date,\u201d but did not provide an exact date. However, the Ora NFT collection, according to that representative, is expected to be released later this year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe created Sugartown to appeal to a native Web3 market,\u201d said Matt Wolf, Zynga\u2019s Vice President of Web3 Gaming, in a statement to <em>Decrypt<\/em>. He also said that their focus is to scale the game much further over time while they build up a community of Ora NFT holders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Sugartown held its first official Spaces with Zynga\u2019s Wolf and its Head of Product, Tommy Ngo, diving deeper into the game. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zynga, the gaming industry\u2019s biggest mobile games developer, announced its first-ever blockchain game, Sugartown, on Monday, according to an initial report by Decrypt.\u00a0 Best known for its popular 2009 games Farmville and Words With Friends, Zynga quickly made a name for itself after launching one of the first few games on Facebook, bringing in over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nft"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Zynga Announces Its First Blockchain Game \u201cSugartown\u201d\u00a0 | NFT &amp;
