Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd has partnered with leading motorsport wheel brand Konig to introduce its first-ever interoperable wheel NFTs to Torque Drift 2 and other games in the Torque Motorsport games franchise.
Notably, the Konig-licensed NFTs for Torque Drift 2 will be interoperable in Torque Burnout and Torque Drift, the previous mobile titles developed by Animoca’s subsidiary Grease Monkey Games under the Torque Motorsport portfolio.
Interoperability is an important feature of blockchain gaming, as it allows players to have true ownership of their assets, giving them more flexibility and freedom in how they use their assets.
The first Konig-licensed NFT drop will feature eight of the company's most sought-after alloys, including the Hypergram, Dekagram and Ampliform, among others.
The collection is aimed at existing motorsport fans as well as people interested in the NFT market.
New ways to engage
Grease Monkey Games founder and CEO Arran Potter said: "We are honoured to partner with Konig to launch NFTs for Torque Drift 2 based on some of the best available wheels in the world of racing.
“The NFTs will offer our players a new way to engage with our games, and the interoperability across all our titles will allow players to own and use their NFTs in a variety of ways."
