June 15, 2021: Being a pioneer in digital luxury, and associated with ‘cool’ gaming technologies for a long time, Burberry has now announced it is partnering with Mythical Games to launch a limited-edition Blanko in the technology company’s game, Blankos Block Party.
To be released in July 2021, Blankos Block Party is an open-world multiplayer game featuring NFT (non-fungible token) vinyl toys known as Blankos, that players can collect, upgrade and sell. By introducing these playable NFTs, Blankos Block Party is creating a new play-to-earn economy and paving the way for the future of digital ownership in gaming.
“Pushing boundaries and discovering new ways to innovate with our communities have always been at the heart of what we do as a brand. Being a part of this creative and pioneering community with Mythical Games is an incredible synergy for us and a perfect evolution of our existing engagement with the gaming communities. Launching our limited-edition Burberry Blanko in Blankos Block Party is our first exploration into the world of NFTs; unlocking an entire new platform of possibilities, empowering digital natives and gamers to own a piece of our brand and to actively engage and participate with our house codes,” said Rod Manley, Chief Marketing Officer at Burberry.
