"NFL Rivals Unveils Super Bowl-Themed NFT Promotion"

Mythical Games has launched a Super Bowl-themed promotion for its NFT-infused mobile game, NFL Rivals. The two-week event, which kicked off on Thursday, offers players the chance to unlock exclusive player cards from this year's top teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

The promotion features 30 new player cards of varying rarities, which can be earned through packs or campaigns. In addition to the new cards, users can participate in Hero Events, where they can choose between two star offensive or defensive players to compete. Each week of the promotion, users will receive a ticket to participate in the selected Hero Event.

Players can also earn rewards based on real-life Super Bowl moments. They can participate in live events tied to the game and wager in-app items like coins and gems on outcomes such as the coin toss or the final score.

NFL Rivals is available for free download on iOS and Android devices. The game operates similarly to the Ultimate Team mode from EA Sports titles like Madden or FIFA, featuring tap and play football with real NFL players.

Limited edition cards in the game are minted as NFTs on the Mythos blockchain, a gaming-centric chain built on Polkadottechnology. These NFTs can be traded with the MYTHOS token on the Mythical Market.

NFL Rivals has been downloaded more than 6 million times to date across platforms. The game has earned more than 70,000 downloads via the iOS App Store in the last month, generating more than $200,000 in revenue during that time.

Mythical Games has raised $297 million since 2018 across multiple rounds from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Animoca Brands, ARK Invest, and NBA legend Michael Jordan. The firm is also working on an officially licensed FIFA Rivals game, as well as another unnamed game.
