Today it humbles me to introduce a game project we’ve been working on for over four months, to the wider public. Block Riders™ is a high-octane multiplayer NFT game that combines the wacky motorsport shenanigans of popular arcade racing games with the player customization and open-world scale of modern sandbox simulators.

Built atop the Ethereum blockchain, Block Riders features NFT powered vehicles and characters, with play-to-earn features and racing game modes driven by the native $BLOCKS (ERC20) currency. Players are able to earn the $Blocks token by competing against other players in races and completing daily challenges.

With world-class race handling and vehicle physics, Block Riders delivers an exciting and unpredictable racing experience across a variety of traditional tracks, mountain trails, city circuits and open world landscapes.

Block Riders will be released during the Holiday period of 2022 and available to play on compatible Browsers, with support for Android® and iOS® devices coming in early 2023.

Background Of A Block Rider.

Life as a young hustler fresh out of Block Heights Penitentiary isn’t gonna be easy. Tossed off the bus in your old hood with nothing but the clothes on your back and keys to your Uncles old cab, you’ll have to drift, cruise and smash your way past rival racers to climb the ranks of Blockston’s illegal street racing scene.

Customize, Upgrade & Earn.

Customize your character with dozens of options to choose from, discover new cosmetics and character upgrades, and build your rep as you blaze through the local underground, unlocking exclusive NFT modifications and earning massive cryptocurrency rewards.

Seamless Multiplayer Open World.

The world of Blockston features a diverse variety of biomes and landscapes to test your skills against, offering a complete off-track world to interact with outside of races. Players can freely roam through a handcrafted world, interacting with vendors and city residents, socializing with other in-game players and much more.

Action-Packed Tracks and Circuits.

Race across a variety of tracks and terrains built to honor all different kinds of vehicles. Bound across the desert dunes, tear through the swamps of Southern Blockston or carve through tight city corners and container-laden dockyards.

Real World Player Economy.

Everything in the world of Blockston revolves around the $Blocks (ERC20) digital currency. You can earn $Blocks by competing in races and completing daily challenges, and you can spend $Blocks at the Garage to customize your character and vehicles, and at the Showroom to buy, sell or trade NFTs.
