Skale Labs has announced a partnership with DFZ Labs, the team behind the popular NFT collection Deadfellaz, to launch a new Trading Card Game (TCG) called Death Touch on Skale’s gas-free Ethereum scaling blockchain.
This new game will launch in Q1 2025 and will be available on mobile platforms, aiming to attract a mainstream audience.
The original Deadfellaz NFT collection was introduced on Ethereum in August 2021 by co-founders Psych and Betty. The collection quickly gained popularity, with early adopters including celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Steve Aoki, Bill Murray, and Alexis Ohanian.
Skale’s gaming ecosystem currently includes over 150 in-development games, and this new partnership with DFZ Labs is a strategic move to expand its offerings further. Skale recently partnered with Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, whose game tournament platform Moxy is looking to integrate with Skale.
Andrew Saunders, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at SKALE Labs, commented on today’s news: “I couldn’t be more excited to bring iconic web3 IP into the SKALE ecosystem. As blockchain gaming inevitably continues to grow, it’s exciting to see projects which are truly building for consumer adoption vs. brand adoption. Deadfellaz was also my first PFP NFT, so as a community member of three years, it’s exciting to see founders I have personally believed in from the start, continue to build in the right direction.”
Psych, Co-Founder of Deadfellaz, added: “Deadfellaz has always been pushing at the forefront of interactive storytelling & gamification. This set the stage for our highly-anticipated digital TCG “Deathtouch”, a mobile-first title, built for fans of the TCG genre wanting something more exciting & interactive than what they are used to. This endeavor has been further bolstered by our partnership with SKALE, as their gas-free structure will enable us to grow this F2P title in a way that makes sense for our web3 gamers, competitive gamers & the average casual gamer.”
