Ethereum NFT project Goblintown has recently unveiled a trailer for its upcoming PC and Mac game, Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game. The game will be available for play on Steam and the Epic Games Store, offering a unique gaming experience to players.
The trailer showcases the Goblintown Burger Truck in an endless runner game, reminiscent of popular mobile games like Temple Run or Dookey Dash, which is connected to the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The game is described as incredibly challenging, with the end credits humorously noting that even the developer’s mom crashed the truck immediately when playing.
Despite its roots in Web3 technology, Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game will not feature any crypto or NFT connections. While the Epic Games Store allows blockchain-based games, Valve’s Steam marketplace banned them in 2021. However, the game will still offer an engaging experience for players, utilizing the Goblintown IP and world in a Web2 format.
The release of Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game is still a few months away, with more details to be revealed closer to the launch date. The game will also be connected to Abstract, a consumer-focused Ethereum layer-2 network launched by Igloo Inc., the parent company of Pudgy Penguins. Abstract has a strong focus on streaming, and Goblintown aims to provide a fun and entertaining gaming experience for streamers in 2025.
While Goblintown has made previous appearances on Steam, particularly in the game Only Up in 2023, the developer decided to remove it from the platform due to personal reasons. The game developer, Indiesolodev, cited stress and a desire to move on from the project as reasons for its removal.
In light of the announcement of Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game, the original Goblintown NFT collection has seen a significant increase in value, rising nearly 20% to $573 in the last 24 hours, according to NFT Price Floor. This demonstrates the continued interest and support for the Goblintown IP within the NFT community.
Overall, Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game promises to be a challenging and entertaining experience for players, offering a unique blend of gameplay and the beloved Goblintown universe. Stay tuned for more updates as the game nears its release date.
