- Meta World: My City, the sequel to the highly popular game Let’s Get Rich, which attracted over 200 million players around the world; it features board game mechanics and the opportunity to have virtual land and buildings in the metaverse.
Following the migration from the Klaytn Layer 1 chain, all MarbleX gaming apps, games, and game tokens will operate exclusively on Immutable zkEVM alongside more than 330 titles already building on Immutable.
