Social party game Forgotten Playland is further entrenching itself in Web3, formally integrating with Beam Network, an Avalanche L1 chain, while unveiling new content and a battle pass. With the update and blockchain integration, most in-game assets within Forgotten Playland become freely tradeable, allowing players to exercise one of the promises of decentralized gaming and entitling them to own a piece of the game economy.
Players will be able to own two different types of NFTs on the platform, cosmetic and toybox. Cosmetics—like skins, traits and emotes—can be earned by playing the game, but also can be packaged within the battle pass or toybox features. Toyboxes act as limited-edition bundles that will only be rolled out periodically.
“These NFTs enhance the game by offering personalization, social signaling, marketplace trading, and access to exclusive content,” Zico Bakker, co-founder of Duckland Games told Decrypt. The NFTs and the game’s Forgotten Playland token (FP) “empower a vibrant economy,” according to Bakker, who added that the blockchain and NFT implementation gives the Forgotten Playland “the freedom to work on a play-to-airdrop campaign,” which it is undertaking right now with a FLUFFY points campaign.
In the campaign, users earn points based on the amount of cosmetics they own, their activity in the game, and the quests they complete. “As NFTs and FP tokens gain utility, players no longer experience purely cosmetic progression; there’s financial and social motivation to engage deeper,” said Bakker.
Players will be able to engage with new content in this update and in the near future as well. “We have a lot of new content planned for Forgotten Playland,” said Bakker. “With this update, we introduced the battle pass feature and Toybox feature, so expect more of that. In two weeks, we will add two new party games to the mix for even more fun. After that we will focus on the Plushkyn Battle feature, which we will share more information [on] at a later date.”
In addition to new content, the latest update also adds new seasonal challenges, rewards, and full German language support. Forgotten Playland, which spotlights abandoned plush toys in a dusty attic, joins a growing ecosystem of games on the Avalanche-powered Beam Network. It is developed by Vermillion, a collaboration between Duckland Games and the Beam Foundation.
“Beam has believed in the project from day one and helped us raise the necessary funds to get us where we are,” Bakker said. “We share a lot of values regarding game development and pushing the crypto gaming space to the next level.” Bakker stated “And we both want to create a fun game that can be enjoyed by many players in which gas fees are low, processing is fast, and technology is progressing.” The free-to-play Windows PC game is available for download from the Epic Games Store.
