Sorare announces a new NFT-based blockchain game in partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB). The game will be released this summer and will be the first free-to-play of its kind based on the legendary American baseball competition
After football, Sorare launches baseball
Although Sorare has found its place in the non-fungible token (NFT) market with its fantasy football game, the company is innovating again by announcing a collaboration with Major League Baseball (MLB) today.
Thus, a new free-to-play game based on the blockchain will see the arrival of the baseball player cards of the iconic American competition. Everything is based on the usual licensing principle: to compose the best team based on the real performance of each player to score as many points as possible and win prizes.
More information will be revealed as the official release approaches this summer.
Nicolas Julia, co-founder and CEO of Sorare, expressed his pride in the new project:
The bond between Americans and baseball is strong. Baseball has always been at the forefront of new technologies and innovations. We are therefore proud that MLB and MLBPA have chosen Sorare to bring an MLB NFT game to fans around the world. “
Remarkable growth
Over the past year, the French unicorn has experienced strong growth. As a reminder, it raised a spectacular $ 680 million in September last year. A few months later, tennis champion Serena Williams joined the board of directors.
According to the company, this growth amounts to 32% per month over the past year. To continue this momentum, Sorare is now diversifying, as Nicolas Julia points out:
Today, as digital engagement and technology evolve to meet the needs of a new generation, our partnership will enable a new and larger community of fans to forge a strong bond with this American pastime. ”
When you know how passionate Americans can be for a sport they love, Sorare has all it takes to create a recipe for success.
