In 2023, there was a significant growth in the trend of games moving to new blockchains and the application of cross-chain approaches, which only intensified at the beginning of 2024. At least 14 developers announced their intentions to switch to other blockchains, indicating a substantial change in the gaming industry.

Among the leading networks attracting existing projects from other ecosystems is Immutable. With the launch of its zkEVM mainnet, Immutable introduced four games that will join its ecosystem.

The French mobile gaming studio TapNation is implementing web3 technology by transferring two of its popular hyper-casual mobile games, Giant Rush and Parking Jam, to this network. Philippe Lenormand, head of web3 at TapNation, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Immutable and highlighted the opportunity for players to transition from web2 to web3 for a jointly exciting new experience.

Following TapNation's announcement, First Light Games announced its decision. They reported that their multiplayer mobile battle royale game, Blast Royale, would move to Immutable's zkEVM. Co-founder Anil Das-Gupta expressed confidence in Immutable's technologies and anticipates seamless ownership, trading, and selling of web3 assets among players.

The TCG game Storm Warfare from Janus Interactive Studios is also integrating with Immutable's zkEVM. As part of this integration, Janus Interactive announced a collaboration with Polygon Labs to enhance the blockchain infrastructure of Storm Warfare. It is noteworthy that Storm Warfare will become the first full version of the game launched on Immutable's zkEVM, marking a significant milestone in the development of this platform.

These events highlight the growing importance of Immutable's zkEVM mainnet as a preferred direction for developers looking to leverage web3 technologies and enhance the gaming experience. As the migration trend continues, the Immutable ecosystem is poised for further expansion, offering new opportunities for innovation and collaboration in the gaming industry.
