Animoca Brands, The Sandbox, and Ubisoft have invested 6 million US dollars in a mobile game featuring NFTs and augmented reality.
The project is called Dogami, and is essentially a more advanced version of Tamagotchi: players will choose a dog from 300 available breeds (each unique in its own way), and then raise and care for it while earning so-called “DOGA” tokens. The currency can be spent on pet treats, outfits, tickets to virtual events, and other activities.
The pets will live in a virtual world called the Petaverse, created by DC and Marvel artist Bryan J. L. Glass.
“At Ubisoft, we believe that blockchain is a key to the future of the videogame industry, bringing new possibilities for both players and developers. We think that DOGAMÍ shares this vision and contributes to mainstreaming blockchain gaming,” said Ubisoft’s Vice President of the Strategic Innovation Lab, Nicolas Pouard.
Dogami is being developed on the Tezos blockchain platform and will arrive on mobile devices in the spring of 2022, although pets will be available for purchase as early as the first half of 2022.
