Heavyweight in the gaming sector, Atari, has reportedly disclosed details regarding its alliance with blockchain game ecosystem Enjin, in a bid to finalize games integration of its iconic IP and licenses. 

Specifically, the newly formed team up – an initiative from Atari to further establish its footprints across the blockchain sphere – will reportedly release a variety of cosmetic non-fungible tokens (NFTs), to be utilized throughout a freshly built addition to the legendary football game franchise, Kick Off.

The original Kick Off was reportedly rolled out in 1989 for the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga, and has since earned the reputation of “best footy game to have appeared on any machine” at the time. 

Developer eBallR Games is reportedly keeping the games up to date now with blockchain-powered updates, with the forthcoming Kick Off Evolution expected to be available across the Enjin multiverse in the second quarter next year. 

Enjin is reportedly an Ether-powered platform, offering numerous tools for developers to finalize blockchain features integration into the games, in a simplified manner. 

The Enjin multiverse is reportedly functioning as an ecosystem in which assets sharing is enabled for every game designed using Enjin, across game universes in the form of NFTs.

“We are very excited about this collaboration with Atari and its initiation with our latest Enjin Adopter, eBallR Games. Atari resonates with all ages as the household name synonymous with gaming and its belief in blockchain shows the maturity of this technology and the tools now available.” Enjin’s Director of Business Development, Alex Russman, reportedly shared his remarks in an anticipating attitude towards the development.
