Gala Games (GALA) is a blockchain gaming project designed to cater to the gaming community. The platform wants to utilize emerging trends in the blockchain industry to give players more control over what goes on in the gaming industry.
Gala wants to capitalize on the disruptive power of non-fungible tokens by allowing gamers to own and use NFTs to control in-game assets and characters. They will also be able to vote on the types of games they want to be introduced to the platform.
As a result, players will not have to spend hundreds of dollars and several hours playing the game, which they could easily lose at the click of a button.
Recent Developments
On August 18th, Gala Games and 888 The New World announced a strategic partnership that allows collectors, players, and developers around the world to own digital assets within the GALA ecosystem. The partnership will boost 888’s plan of revolutionizing the NFT market by giving artists and creators access to the rapidly growing NFT market.
On August 12th, GALA proposed a new game to the community named “Echoes of Empire,” again demonstrating how the platform has returned the power of gaming to the players. It is a strategy adventure game that comes with infinite possibilities.
On August 4th, Gala Games announced that it was launching on the Binance Smart Chain. As a result, users can now move their GALA to Binance using the p.Network Bridge dApp. The move increases GALA’s exposure, which is crucial for the long-term future of the Gala Games platform.
The ecosystem had announced in-game boosts for the Mirandus-themed ‘Town Star Skins,’ in late July, currently the only playable game on the platform.
Most recently, the GALA token finally got listed on the Binance crypto exchange platform, granting more exposure.
Future Events
Looking forward, Gala Games’ future is becoming more exciting with additional games on the horizon.
The platform has announced a series of upcoming games, including a fantasy RPG game and a sci-fi strategy game. GALA is also plotting to launch a tower defense game called “Fortified,” after launching a free-to-play trial version in March this year.
The company also recently announced the start of the beta playtest for Spider Tanks, a fantasy RPG game developed by GAMEDIA, as it counts down to the official release of the game.
Echoes of Empire is one of the most exciting projects, with some players already looking forward to the beta test versions before voting. One user, going by TForce1, expressed excitement on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) replying to the company’s tweet, posting:
On The Flipside
- Gala Games relies on the freedom the cryptocurrency industry enjoys. However, government regulation could hamper its growth.
- Unlike regular cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens can only be sold on certain platforms, thereby limiting marketwide access to Gala Games.

Although some users seem unimpressed by GALA’s new games. The idea of giving power back to the players is an exciting prospect to look forward to.
