Card-based strategy game Axie Infinity: Origins is set to become available to Apple users in Latin America and Asia as it continues its global expansion.
Sky Mavis, the creators of the non-fungible token (NFT) project Axie Infinity, will launch its Axie Infinity: Origins card game on the Apple App Store in the game's most popular key markets. The game was previously available in limited regions on the Google Play store and through the company's Mavis Hub.
This card-based strategy game, which provides players with free non-NFT "starter" characters, will first launch on the Apple Store in Latin America and Asian countries, including Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The game has 1.5 million installs across all platforms and plans to continue its global expansion via Google and Apple mobile users.
Sky Mavis has also launched the Mavis Market, a curated NFT marketplace powered by the company's native Ronin blockchain. As of Wednesday, some collectibles from third-party game or dapp developers deployed on Ronin will be sold on the marketplace. The company also plans to launch a merchandise store.
Sky Mavis CEO Trung Nguyen said, "Sky Mavis has always been dedicated to realizing the vision of a player-owner digital nation, and we are excited to open our ecosystem to the next generation of Lunacians with the App Stores."
Axie Infinity is working to recover from last year's $625 million hacker attack, making a comprehensive overhaul to Ronin's core systems in March to make the network more decentralized and secure. In addition, the company is collaborating with game development studios including Tribes Studio, Bali Games, Directive Games, and Bowled, to expand the world of Axie Infinity, allowing some games to use the Axie IP.
