The U.S.-based company Warner Bros. Discovery Sports is migrating the web3 mobile game Blocklete Golf from Flow blockchain to Immutable X, a layer-2 solution on the Ethereum blockchain.
According to a Venture Beat report, Blocklete is moving to Immutable X for “fast transactions and gas-free NFTs minting backed by Ethereum’s robust security and decentralization.”
Blocklete Golf is a typical interactive golf management game in which users guide golfing avatars over virtual links in PvP battles and competitions.
Blocklete Golf created by Warner Bros. Discovery Sports seeks to differentiate itself by allowing players to gather, train, and trade unique NFT-based virtual golfers.
Andrew Sorokovsky, VP of global business development at Immutable, stated: “We are honored to be a partner and provider of the blockchain infrastructure for an innovator in the sports media landscape like Warner Bros. Discovery and Turner Sports.”
Sorokovsky added, “Their dedication to pushing the envelope and early adoption of web3 proves that decentralized solutions are on the fast track to mass adoption — offering millions of people new and exciting ways to interact with entertainment mediums while retaining full control over their digital assets.”
Yang Adija, Senior VP of digital operations and innovation for WBD Sports, noted: “Immutable has provided the backend technology for our newest Web3 offerings, and moving Blocklete Golf to their inclusive and efficient decentralized framework was a natural choice for us.”
Warner Bros. Discovery Sports represents Warner Bros. Discovery’s (WBD) portfolio of sports brands, channels, and platforms. The last time Warner Bros partnered with Immutale X was in March 2022, when Cartamundi and Warner Bros launched DC-based Hybrid NFT cards on the platform.
