NFT gaming is gaining popularity for its true ownership and transparent monetization of in-game assets. The popularity is an important subject for Epic Games which is known with its popular online game Fortnite.
The company has further cemented its GameFi leadership by adding Project Red and Defimons on its platform.
Epic Games’ move is in line with its previous announcement of adding more crypto-powered games. With a formidable presence of 230 million registered players and an astonishing 34.3 million users engaging daily, the company is set to push boundaries.
Let’s dive a little deeper into these two NFT games.
Project Red: A Virtual World of Underground Power
Project Red empowers players to influence the game’s economy through their actions. Immersing players in a mesmerizing virtual world, it introduces them to the enigmatic realm of organized crime.
Amidst a backdrop of exhilarating underworld activities, players embark on an enthralling journey to unravel the intricate web of deceit and power.

Final Words
Epic Games’ foray into the metaverse has revolutionized the gaming industry by leveraging blockchain technology. Its investment in Hadaen suggests that Epic Games’ investment could pave the way for the emergence of future AAA games utilizing blockchain technology.
The company is not a developer of NFT games, but it always shows its interest towards this new game-based virtual world. Now, it presents five NFT games in its marketplace, but the company will add 20 NFT games including Project Red and Defimons.
We are waiting for other gaming companies to embrace blockchain technology and NFT/crypto games!
