Arrivant Launches Its Play-To-Own Game on Polygon
As per the latest report, the gaming studio, Arrivant has decided to expand its Project Eluüne: StarGarden to the Polygon blockchain. Meanwhile, the project will also remain in the Solana ecosystem.
According to Arrivant, it opted to launch the game on Polygon due to the platform’s commitment to sustainability. It also cited the platform’s latest hiring of AAA talent as a motivating factor.
Meanwhile, the gaming studio said it made this decision before the Slope attack on the Solana network last week. Therefore, the game would run on both platforms concurrently.
Cedric Gamelin, the CEO of Arrivant, said the company believes the Polygon network can house the upcoming generation of gamers. Also, Gamelin said the company is planning to be a cross-chain initiative.
This would allow the gaming firm to serve different players on various platforms. However, the CEO believes most players would prefer the Polygon platform.
