Mythical Games’ NFL Rivals has launched worldwide in early access and is available for download on the Apple and Google mobile stores.
It is the officially licensed Web3 game from the National Football League (NFL), and NFL Players Association’s (NFLPA). Mythical is also expanding to the Polka Dot blockchain.
Mythical CEO John Linden said in an interview with GamesBeat that the general manager game with arcade-style gameplay delivers on fans’ dreams of being a GM of an NFL team. The NFL’s launch of the game, incorporating Web3 digital ownership with in-game utility, will allow fans to own, collect, and trade digital assets that unlock access to special events, in-game rewards, and other unique features.
“It’s locked and loaded, ready to go” Linden said. “You can play the entire game 100% just mobile and never sell anything or trade anything and just play it.”

“As long as you don’t mention Web3, they are Ok with having that in the Web2 store,” he said.
