Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd subsidiary GAMEE has unveiled a presale of NFT G-Bot characters for its highly popular Arc8 mobile blockchain gaming platform. The NFT characters are designed to enhance the functionality and play-to-earn potential of the game.
Arc 8 is a casual, e-sports mobile game integrated with crypto rewards and NFTs. Players can engage in a variety of skill-based games and be rewarded with GMEE-based blockchain rewards, GAMEE’s proprietary crypto token currency.
G-bots are an upgradeable NFT in-game character used in Arc8 and upcoming standalone games to “enhance and expand the playing experience and play-to-earn capabilities”. G-bots unlock functionality as they level up, granting various benefits to their owners.
The bots affect in-game outcomes, with each G-Bot having a specific class, rarity and a unique set of stats. The stats are algorithmically generated based on rarity, giving each bot a unique spread of strengths and weaknesses in-game.

NFTs rising in popularity
“The launch of G-Bots provides a great opportunity to boost the Arc8 player base as interest in NFTs grows among casual games players,” GAMEE CEO and co-founder Bozena Rezab said.
“The rising excitement around NFTs stems from the fact they enable in-game assets to be owned by the player instead of the game’s publisher. This ownership provides the necessary foundation for play-to-earn economies, which we believe will transform the entire game industry.”
The first presale of G-Bots starts on November 2, 2021, at 1 pm (UTC) with 1,000 NFT packs in rarities of Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. Each NFT pack contains one bot based on unique designs that are obtainable only in this presale. Purchases require GMEE tokens on Polygon.
One of top three blockchain games
Arc8 has seen a rapid growth in subscriber numbers since its launch, reaching 1.3 million users in under three weeks, making it one of the top three games on all blockchains and the #1 Dapp on the Polygon chain, which Animoca Brands recently announced it will bridge its blockchain games to through subsidiary Lympo.
The rapid growth of Arc8 also pushed the Polygon chain ahead of Ethereum as measured by daily active users.
G-Bots will be used in one of the 10 casual games on the Arc8 platform, allowing players to participate in one-on-one matches and group tournaments to win GMEE tokens as prizes. Additional Arc8 games and standalone games are in development.
