WAX Studios, a gaming and blockchain services studio created by the founders of the WAX Blockchain, has partnered with Magic: the Gathering creator Richard Garfield to create a player-versus-player (PvP) gaming experience within WAX Studios’ highly successful play-to-earn (P2E) non-fungible token (NFT) game, Blockchain Brawlers.

The partnership will deliver a new PvP layer within WAX Studios’ Blockchain Brawlers game, which was released to major fanfare earlier this month. In the first two weeks of launch alone, the game’s native token, BRWL, garnered over $431 Million in volume.

Blockchain Brawlers, the first WAX Studios title, is led by Michael Rubinelli (City Gaming Officer). Rubinelli is a veteran 25 year old of gaming and has been credited with helping to create the free-to play business model which revolutionized gaming.

Richard Garfield is now part of the team. He’s a math professor who was also a game designer. His most popular game, Magic: The Gathering has been credited as introducing the trading card games genre. WAX Studios’s unique take on Web3 gaming is to combine P2E monetization with the PvP gameplay, alongside the creativity and desirability of Garfield’s game design genius.

Richard Garfield (inventor and game designer) said that it was a joy to introduce a PvP aspect to Blockchain Brawlers. I am aiming for a game that is entertaining and immersive with real strategic choices and opportunity for risk taking — yet easy enough to learn that it opens up Blockchain Brawlers to a broad player audience.”
Michael Rubinelli (CGO of WAX Studios) stated that “We established WAX Studios as Web3 Gaming is urgently in need of redefinition.” Right now it is more about farming and less fun. Richard Garfield’s beautiful, strategic, and mathematical mind will join the team creating our PvP Layer. It will elevate Blockchain Brawlers and set the benchmark for Web3 gaming.
Blockchain Brawlers allows players to compete in professional-wrestling matches and earn BRWL tokens. Players can also craft their own success stories. To earn more BRWL, players can build better gear, such as wrestling rings or weapons.

WAX Studios is ambitious about Brawlers. They want to increase participation and attract mainstream gamers to their web3 games. According to the team, it is keen to see as many players as possible go head to head to generate excitement and provide a range of competitors. Secondary market opportunities are being developed to provide users with a reliable outlet for their crafted products, which is often lacking in P2E games.

WAX’s carbon-neutral blockchain is rapidly becoming a major player in the Play-to-Earn (NFT), and Play-to-Earn gaming sectors. WAX currently boasts more than 12,000,000 users and five of the most popular blockchain games, which includes the current top 3. WAX is also the most active, accounting for nearly 20,000,000 daily operations, according to Blocktivity.

WAX also has great success in integrating major IPs to early Web3. At the start of 2022, WAX performed the largest NFT drop in history — one to each of the first 10 million accounts registered.
