Mythical Games is launching a private beta on November 17 for Blankos Block Party, a multiplayer open-world platforming game.

It’s a game to watch closely because Los Angeles-based Mythical Games is using the decentralized digital ledger technology of blockchain to build games. With this, players can be verified as owners of a piece of a game. The company calls these concepts digital ecosystems built around player-owned economies, which means players can permanently own what they create or purchase inside the game. And Blankos Block Party, developed with Third Kind Games, is one of the first to use the blockchain tech.
