Mobile game maker Eyeball Games is partnering with Web3 platform Immutable to release Eyeball Pool, a blockchain-based mobile pool game.
The game is currently in beta with a full launch planned for early 2024. The partnership with Immutable will enable Eyeball Games to accelerate the development of its blockchain-based title, which gives players full ownership of their digital assets and includes other features that come from using blockchain.
Eyeball Games is a Singapore-based studio behind the hit mobile game 8 Ball Pool, which has over a billion downloads and over 10 million daily active players. The Original 8 Ball Pool creators are Karsten Niemer and Thomas Elgaard and they worked with Jonathan Ivarsson, founder of Eyeball Games on the new game. The team came together on a vision for a blockchain-based challenger to 8 Ball Pool, which gives gamers full ownership of their assets as part of a cutting-edge gameplay.
Hoping to repeat its success in pool a decade ago, Eyeball Games designed Eyeball Pool from the ground up with its own physics engine and graphics. It has a player-vs-player mode and a range of tournament modes which include an AI skill-matching engine.
“We believe there’s power in partnering with a specialized ecosystem for gaming versus one that tries to include all use cases,” said Jonathan Ivarsson, CEO of Eyeball Games, in a statement. “Immutable works day and night to improve its gaming ecosystem, developer tooling, and publishing capabilities – the Immutable zkEVM is a testament to this. With Immutable’s help, we look forward to redefining the pool game experience.”
