Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, is venturing into blockchain gaming with the launch of his “first game,” Voyager: Ascension, in collaboration with RFLXT, a company under his portfolio. The game, akin to Overload, is a fast-paced sci-fi shooter available on Gala Games, with plans for a multiplayer mode in the future. Players can enhance their experience with a low-cost token season pass.

RFLXT, a spinout from Hoskinson’s Input Output Global (IOG), aims to revamp classic PC games like Overload using Web3 technology. While RFLXT is not exclusively tied to Cardano, they seek to expand across multiple chains, aligning with Cardano’s vision for versatile applications. Achieving interoperability and forming partnerships, such as with Gala, are key strategies for RFLXT to foster cross-platform gameplay and grow the Cardano ecosystem.

RFLXT’s platform introduces Digital Doubles, enabling influencers and streamers to engage with games uniquely. AI-driven integration promises immersive experiences for players. The platform’s full capabilities, including Digital Doubles, will be unveiled at the Rare Evo conference in Las Vegas. With Hoskinson’s foray into blockchain gaming, Cardano aims to solidify its position as a leading platform for next-gen games, spearheaded by projects like Voyager: Ascension.
