DEA targets May release for its cooking-themed P2E game, NFT presale goes live on March 18

Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA) has announced it will be launching its fourth gaming title Cookin’ Burger in May and a celebratory non-fungible tokens (NFTs) presale that will go live later today. The cooking-themed Play-to-Earn (P2E) game will mark the first third-party entry into DEA’s broader GameFi ecosystem.

Cookin’ Burger lets players assume the role of a burger shop staff member, whose restaurant’s reputation will depend on their ability to process orders quickly and correctly. While the premise sounds simple, the game will reward those who will approach the burger business with a sense of strategy and efficiency. Each season’s highest-ranked players will receive DEAPcoin (DEP) crypto rewards and other in-game prizes. DEP can be used to upgrade in-game NFTs for a better playing experience.

Each in-game burger shop is represented by a unique NFT, called “Shop NFT”. While players can play the game without actually owning their restaurants, the special NFTs unlock exclusive upgrade paths and features that can impact players’ reward earning potential. In addition, Shop NFTs will give their holders the ability to access exclusive promotions and in-game unlockables, including categories, ranks, menus, and locations.

The Cookin’ Burger game was developed by Burger Studio and marks the first time a third-party project will be joining DEA’s PlayMining blockchain gaming ecosystem. The Singaporean-based GameFi company plans on collaborating with more third-party game publishers in the future to enrich the selection of gaming titles on its platform.

Burger Studio CEO Takafumi Kiyota commented on being the first third-party game on the Playmining ecosystem:

“PlayMining is a creator-friendly platform, so even a small team like ours was able to enter the market. We have designed this title to embody the dream of ‘running your own restaurant’ through this casual ‘cooking game.’ At the same time, we hope to offer a new ‘play-to-earn’ experience to everyone around the world.”

The price of DEA platform’s native DEP token saw tremendous growth over the past couple of months. Since October, DEP has gained more than 230%. At press time, the token was changing hands at $0.0265, up close to 10% in the last 24 hours.
