Immortal Game And Polo & Pan Team Up Take The Chess Game To The Web3 Space

Electronic musicians Polo & Pan have collaborated with the chess video game Immortal Game to add a new twist to the chess piece NFTs. The partnership will ensure the launch of a limited edition of 500 unique digital chess pieces sold as NFTs on Polygon, an Ethereum scaling network.

The “play-to-earn” genre in the Web3 space is seeing increased interest and traction, and Immortal Game is poised to take advantage of this trend. The platform says it will be providing rewards to players for participating and winning games. Players that successfully win and move up the rankings will be eligible for the platform’s CMT tokens.

The designed NFT Chess Will Unlock New Quests

Polo & Pan was established a decade ago by Alexandre Grynszpan (also called “Peter Pan”) and Paul Armand-Delille, popularly called Polocorp. Their music is a unique one as they blend tropical and world music elements with electronic music. The duo designed their chess pieces to represent the vibrant aesthetics of the artists.

Immortal Games utilizes Web3 technologies to infuse strategic depth into the timeless game of chess. The tokenized digital chess piece, known as “Immortals”, are linked to optional quests that promote specific styles of play.

The Polo & Pan-designed NFT chess gives access to private tournaments and unlocks new quests. Additionally, they offer audio soundtracks and visual animations from the artists.

DJs Polo & Pan stated that the holders will also have access to real-world benefits such as curated Shopify playlists, concert tickets, voting rights on future collections, as well as the opportunity to play the game with its founders.

Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Immortal Games, Thomas Zaepffel, commented on the development. “Our vision is that chess is more than just a game,” he said, adding that the platform is drawing inspiration from sports, arts, music, and entertainment.

Polo & Pan also expressed their excitement about the new project as they bring their aesthetics and music to the Web3 space.

Immortal Game Brings Chess Game To A Wider Audience

Zaepffel says the digital space will enable the chess game to be more popular online. It will foster a new intersection for gamers and artists in the digital world.

The platform aims to reinvent the online gaming experience for users via NFTs and blockchain technologies. Digital chess already has a massive audience. The platform has 20 million games and received 800 million followers globally.

The game became very popular among gamers during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit” even propelled its popularity further.

The chess game has also gained a wider audience as more Twitch channels live-stream games featuring young stars. DJs Polo & Pan said the game on the Web3 platform is available for everyone.
