What Mythical Games does

Mythical Games is a blockchain-based gaming company founded in 2017, headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California, with 200+ employees across five global offices including Lisbon (Portugal) and Brighton (UK). The company develops mobile games — FIFA Rivals (co-developed with FIFA), Pudgy Party (co-developed with Pudgy Penguins), and Blankos Block Party — and operates the Mythical Platform, a secondary-economy infrastructure layer built on Mythos Chain, a Layer 3 blockchain on World Chain (an Ethereum Layer 2). Mythos Chain enables true ownership of in-game items via NFTs and integrates World ID proof-of-humanity verification to combat bots across the company's 17M+ player base.

The business operates three monetization streams: (1) marketplace transaction fees on the Mythical Marketplace (now migrating to Pulse Market with USDC-denominated pricing); (2) in-game purchases and freemium premium content such as season passes, character bundles, and branded cosmetics (notably adidas collections in FIFA Rivals); and (3) platform licensing and integration services for third-party game developers seeking to embed secondary economies, with Spectarium's 'MYTHS' ARPG being the first external integration. Distribution occurs primarily through iOS App Store and Google Play, complemented by app-embedded marketplace functionality and a self-serve developer onboarding flow via REST APIs and SDKs.

Mythical serves two principal customer segments: mobile gamers (primary) who engage with Mythical's titles and trade NFTs on the marketplace, and game developers/publishers (secondary) seeking turnkey blockchain infrastructure for digital asset economies. The company has raised approximately $225M+ in venture capital across Series B ($75M, June 2021, led by WestCap/1kx), Series C ($150M, November 2021, led by Andreessen Horowitz at a $1.25B unicorn valuation), a 2023 extension led by Scytale Digital ($37M), and a Series D in October 2025 with Eightco Holdings, ARK Invest, and World Foundation. Key acquisitions include Polystream (2022, real-time 3D streaming), Shortround Games (2022, European operations), and DMarket (2023, Web3 marketplace infrastructure).

3. Premium Game Downloads and Features: Games like FIFA Rivals, Pudgy Party, and Blankos are free-to-play but offer premium content including season passes, character bundles, and cosmetic collections. The adidas partnership brings branded content collections.
4. Platform Licensing and Integration: Mythical offers its platform technology (Mythical Platform) to third-party developers and publishers for integrating secondary economies into their games. Revenue comes from platform fees and integration services.
