Revolutionizing Blockchain Gaming: MARBLEX’s Vision for 2025
MARBLEX, the blockchain gaming division of Netmarble, has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for the year 2025. The plan focuses on integrating web3 technology while prioritizing entertainment and accessibility. Here’s a breakdown of what MARBLEX has in store for the future:
A Shift in Publishing Strategy
Initially, MARBLEX concentrated on incorporating web3 elements into existing Netmarble games. However, the company has recognized the limitations of this approach, such as a lack of game variety and a heavy focus on RPG titles. To address these challenges, MARBLEX is transitioning to a Semi-Publishing Model, opening the doors for a wider range of games to join the ecosystem.
Backed by a $20 million joint fund with Immutable, this new model emphasizes game quality over quantity. Developers will receive support in various areas, including blockchain integration, business model planning, and marketing resources.
Expansion of the Gaming Ecosystem
In 2025, MARBLEX plans to introduce several new games across different genres:
- Self-Made Billionaire (Q2) – A business simulation RPG focused on empire-building and stock trading.
- Mercenary Children (Q2) – A collection-based RPG featuring a diverse cast of over 45 heroes.
- Dice Go! (Q3) – A real-time board game with Monopoly elements and Web3 assets.
- Meta Toy DragonZ SAGA (Q3) – A collectible RPG with town-building mechanics.
- PROJECT MINE (Q3) – A farming simulation game with resource cultivation and land development.
- PROJECT X (Q4) – An action RPG with hero-based gameplay and survival elements.
- Age of Chaos: Mad Island (Q4) – A dark-themed MMORPG with enhanced visuals and revamped skill systems.
In addition to these confirmed titles, MARBLEX has hinted at other projects currently in development.
Enhanced Web3 Integration and Player Ownership
One of MARBLEX’s key focuses for 2025 is improving web3 integration and player ownership. The company plans to make blockchain assets more accessible and useful by introducing dynamic NFT metadata. This feature allows in-game assets to evolve based on player progress or updates.
MARBLEX is also working on creating resilient digital assets, ensuring that NFTs remain accessible even if a game is discontinued. The company will introduce deposit and withdrawal mechanics for secure NFT transfers between games and implement NFT-powered gameplay features, enabling players to trade and utilize in-game items across various genres.
Furthermore, MARBLEX is collaborating with Immutable to enable peer-to-peer asset exchanges within games through the OrderBook API, streamlining the trading experience for players.
Community Engagement and Marketing Initiatives
To cultivate a strong player base, MARBLEX is ramping up its marketing efforts with Creator M, a blockchain-powered influencer program that rewards content creators through smart contracts. The success of Solo Leveling: Arise has demonstrated the program’s potential, garnering over 12 million views across 300+ videos. MARBLEX plans to expand Creator M to encompass all Netmarble games in the future.
Additionally, the company is developing NFT Adventure, a gamified NFT platform that debuted in 2024 with Koongya Restaurantz and will expand through global IP collaborations in 2025.
Goals for 2025 and Industry Outlook
For the year 2025, MARBLEX has set specific objectives:
- Introducing 10+ new games to the ecosystem.
- Increasing the active player base by 40%.
- Enhancing token burn mechanisms to stabilize in-game economies.
- Improving player retention and engagement.
With the continued support of Netmarble, a growing portfolio of blockchain-integrated games, and a commitment to delivering enjoyable gameplay experiences, MARBLEX aims to solidify its position as a key player in the web3 gaming landscape.
