Nifty’s, a network for decentralized applications, has partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and HBO to create digital collectible non-fungible tokens based on the popular show “Game of Thrones.” Although it has not been officially announced, “Game of Thrones” NFTs will be available to fans in late 2022.
According to the company’s blog, “Game of Thrones: Build Your Realm” will let fans create a realm by collecting customizable avatars based on characters from the show, as well as packs with collectibles like weapons, companions, and gear that can be equipped to strengthen their avatars.
WBD said in their statement that several themed packs will also be offered during the program.
The characters and settings of “Game of Thrones” and other memorable moments from the show will also be available as NFTs. WBD promises that there will be “thematic activities and on-site engagement” for attendees.
No price information was provided by the business.
Why Have They Decided to Release Game of Thrones NFTs?
In a statement, Warner Bros. Discovery’s president of NFT Commercial Development, Josh Hackbarth, stated,
Our goal, as always, with the fans, is to create new ways for them to interact with the stories and characters they love.
WBD is probably hoping that adding “Game of Thrones” NFTs will bring in more money, since the show is one of HBO’s most popular. After losing $3.4 million in the most recent quarter, the business needs financial backing. In addition, WBD is saddled with over $53 billion in debt.
Jeff Marsilio, CEO and co-founder of Nifty’s, said that once in a while, a movie or TV show does something so groundbreaking within its category that it alters the whole artistic landscape and becomes ingrained in our national psyche.
Together with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, Nifty’s is thrilled to be “pushing the boundaries of creativity and inspiration via a new sort of digital collectible” that will bring the franchise’s fans closer together than ever.
Daz 3D, a provider of 3D content, will also work with businesses to create the NFT experience.
In June, the media firm also released “Looney Tunes” NFTs with Nifty’s, so this isn’t the first time they’ve worked together. WBD has also worked with Funko on many other NFT drops.
