Sequence partners with Saltwater Games to create rewarding player experiences and incentives

Sequence is thrilled to partner with Saltwater Games, an innovative gaming studio, to power their growing web3 ecosystem. Our all-in-one development stack supports Saltwater Games to seamlessly integrate blockchain features into games built on their Arbitrum Orbit Layer 3 chain, XR One, to transform interactive entertainment with renowned IPs. Saltwater Games (SWG) chose to build on Arbitrum, another long-standing Sequence partner, to ensure a gaming environment where peak performance, security, and user engagement are top priorities. With genres spanning racing adventure, shooter, puzzle, sci-fi, horror, and familiar favorites such as Peaky Blinders and Doctor Who, Saltwater Games has positioned their gaming-focused blockchain, XR One, to deliver fun, immersive, and incentivized experiences for players to earn rewards from the games built on the chain.

Saltwater Games is made up of an alliance of studios, including Nexus Labs and Maze Theory, comprising more than 60 gaming veterans focused on creating deeply immersive experiences leveraging cutting-edge technologies like web3 and AI.

SWG has three key games building on the XR One Orbit Chain, Celeros, Resurgence, and Freerunner Championship, laser-focused on:

• Immersive experiences that feel real and engaging, pushing the boundaries of sensory experiences in gaming.

• Cutting-edge innovation that offers players frictionless access to the latest advancements in the gaming world from blockchain integrations to new VR features and other novel tech that enhance the gameplay experience.

• Community-driven development where players have a say in how the games evolve and are governed on the XR Network.

• Spectator fun through features like user-generated content, meta-game activities (e.g. side games or challenges related to the main game), and by incorporating established IPs into their games, allowing players to connect with familiar brands and characters like never before.
