Enhancing Gaming Experiences with Blockchain

This is not only the integration of a new MMORPG to the already-saturated market, but rather proof-of-concept that blockchain can effectively be used to elevate fun in gaming. Following on the successful launch of Ravendawn – its Web2 counterpart which went live earlier this year, garnering over 200K Monthly Active Users (MAUs) – RavenQuest is looking to provide additional entertainment value for its users. 

With the introduction of Immutable’s zkEVM, this game will provide a gaming experience that feels no different from traditional gaming in speed or user experience, but with the added benefit of being secure and environmentally friendly.

Nicolas “Knighter ” Schrik, CEO and Creative Director of Tavernlight Games, emphasized the benefits of their partnership with Immutable, stating, “Our partnership with Immutable brings incredible benefits to RavenQuest players. With access to over 1 million gamers, unmatched partnerships, and a $50M reward ecosystem, players will experience a seamless, rewarding, and eco-friendly gaming adventure.” 

This strategic collaboration highlights a shared vision for creating deep, engaging gameplay that prioritizes community and character development over superficial graphics.

RavenQuest prepares to combine traditional MMORPG design with innovative blockchain technology capable of offering new features on the market. Immutable has integrated its technology to give players a stable, secure way to move in and out of the game with their card ownership rights. With an edge in community and sustainability, RavenQuest is set to redefine the potential of gaming through blockchain tech, marking this another example of a new generation of games.
