Each Smighty has its own unique attributes with brand new, exciting opportunities to collect, share and trade
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Reality Gaming Group has partnered with New York entertainment company Herotainment to create one-of-a-kind digital collectibles based on Smighties - the smallest and mightiest heroes in the universe.
The new blockchain-fueled experience, Smighties Universe, will enable fans to collect and trade digital versions of their favourite characters for the first time; build their very own Smighty Hotel with themed rooms; and customize their characters with limited-edition accessories. They can then trade with friends and, eventually, go head-to-head in a ground-breaking game.
Each Smighty character in the Smighties Universe will be tokenised into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), which is secured and protected on the blockchain, providing documented ownership indefinitely. They cannot be copied, which makes them scarce and potentially valuable.
The Smighties Universe story will follow the Smighties journey to our planet and their place in our own history. At launch, there will be 136 distinct Smighties to collect, with different attributes including superpowers, strengths, weaknesses, favourite foods and birthdays.
The Smighties will be categorized by their rarity and the elements of earth, water, light, air and magic.
Limited edition Pods, each containing surprise, digital Smighty heroes, will be available for fans all over the world to buy from www.smighties-universe.com in November 2020. Once these limited edition characters have sold out, they will not be available to purchase again, except by trading with others.
To reserve an initial free collectible, fans can sign up now at www.smighties-universe.com.
UK-based Reality Gaming Group specialises in developing and publishing games that utilise unique collectible items, including Doctor Who: Worlds Apart, Emojibles and Reality Clash.
The company’s Digital Asset Trading (DAT) Platform uses innovative blockchain technology to turn any IP into a Non-Fungible Token - rare digital assets that can be traded between fans using dedicated marketplaces.
Tony Pearce, Co-Founder of Reality Gaming Group, said: “We are tremendously excited to be working with award-winning, digital entertainment company Herotainment. Millions of fans around the world are already highly-engaged with Smighties and, by using the blockchain and creating unique NFTs for each Smighty, we can’t wait to make these lovable creatures the ‘must have’ characters to collect, trade and play.”
Wade Teman, Co-Founder of Herotainment, said: “We are excited to partner with Reality Gaming Group to introduce Smighties to the blockchain. We believe this is the future of collectibility and gaming by giving fans direct ownership of their favourite Smighties as virtual assets.”
