VanEck-backed NFT card game Parallel coming soon to Epic Games Store

The listing comes shortly after Parallel secured $35 million from a pool of investors, including Distributed Global, The Operating Group, VanEck, Solana Ventures, Base Ecosystem Fund, and Amber among others. Thus far, the sci-fi NFT card game about a “strategic battle for control of Earth” raised $85 million from Paradigm and others.

Since its launch in 2021, Parallel has remained in open beta, offering players the opportunity to collect, trade, and engage with unique in-game assets represented as non-fungible tokens. The game’s narrative revolves around a fantasy storyline depicting humanity’s endeavor to escape into space following a global energy crisis.

For Epic Games, Parallel marks another addition to its lineup of crypto-related games on its marketplace. For instance, in February, a Call of Duty-styled blockchain-based video game, named Shrapnel, also entered early access on EGS.

In December 2023, Epic Games Store clarified its stance on blockchain-based video games, stating that it would not prohibit them on its platform, even after they were previously labeled as “Adults Only” by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), a self-regulatory organization responsible for assigning age and content ratings to consumer video games in North America.
