In March, at Apple Inc.’s Peek Performance event, Apple announced Eden Games’ latest expansion of the Gear. Club franchise, Gear. Club Stradale, is the “next big release” coming exclusively to Apple Arcade.
Gear.Club is a hyper-realistic racing simulator and served as the primary racing game for the open qualifiers of World’s Fastest Gamer, a first-of-its-kind competition that transits motorsport gamers into real-world champions. World’s Fastest Gamer has over 400 million TV and video on demand viewers with over 100 broadcasters in more than 50 countries plus additional distribution on ESPN, EURO Sport, and Amazon.
Eden Games also has long-term partnerships with more than 30 established brands in the automotive industry, including BMW, Bugatti, Porsche, Lotus, Pagani, and many others.
David Nadal, co-founder, and head of the studio of Eden Games said: “We are excited to start the next chapter of Eden Games by joining Animoca Brands. We look forward to producing new experiences that challenge the status quo within the motorsport genre and venture into new frontiers such as Web3 alongside a leader in the space.”
Animoca Brands will leverage the expertise and capabilities of Eden Games to work on existing and new titles in the REVV Motorsport ecosystem and to bring to market a series of new blockchain-based racing games. The new games will provide additional utility to the NFT Race Passes and the other assets obtained by swapping assets from Animoca Brands’ F1 Delta Time, which ceased operations in March 2022.
