Yield Guild Games (YGG) Pilipinas, a community of gamers and creators supporting web3 adoption in the Philippines, has announced a partnership with Immutable, a global leader in web3 game publishing. Immutable’s market-leading platform and ecosystem boasts the highest capitalization among all gaming-focused chains, with more than 320 committed games building on the platform. Through this partnership, YGG Pilipinas has become an anchor partner for Guild of Guardians (GOG), a mobile game released on Immutable that has experienced overwhelming success since its launch in May 2024.
“We’ve always recognized the Philippines as one of the strongest communities in web3 gaming, with YGG Pilipinas at the forefront. They have the most active and dedicated players globally, who are always the first to discover and achieve top ranks in the latest web3 games. This partnership will be instrumental in establishing Guild of Guardians as the leading team-based RPG on mobile,”. “YGG’s web3-native user acquisition tools have enabled us to engage a wider player base. With YGG Pilipinas’ onboarding expertise, we are optimistic that GOG can become one of the top games to drive further adoption.”

GOG is featured in Season 6 of YGG’s Guild Advancement Program (GAP), a questing platform that rewards players with YGG tokens and achievement badges in the form of soulbound tokens to make their accomplishments verifiable onchain. GAP Season 6 features six GOG quests, including one premium quest with greater rewards. The quests are a mix of beginner-friendly quests, such as leveling up in-game, and more challenging quests for experienced players, including reaching the top 100 on the leaderboards. The six-week run of GAP Season 6 will end on August 21, 2024, after which questers will be able to claim their YGG token rewards.
The Philippines has ranked first in the world for interest in web3 gaming for three years running, according to CoinGecko. With over 95,000 active community members, YGG Pilipinas is a strong go-to-market partner as Immutable seeks to attract more Filipino players to its growing roster of games. The YGG Pilipinas community is also standing out on the leaderboards and creating content to promote GOG to new players and Filipino gaming communities. Spraky, a YGG Pilipinas Community Lead and official GOG ambassador, has created a video series to teach gamers how to play GOG. New players can gain an advantage with a strong starter team that they can access through a referral code from YGG at sign-up.
“Immutable has consistently supported YGG across multiple initiatives, most recently the YGG Pilipinas Roadtrip and Season 6 of GAP,”. “Additionally, onboarding one of our community leads as a game ambassador reflects the trust we’ve established over the years. So far, we’ve brought in over 2,600 new players to Guild of Guardians and formed more than 20 active guilds. YGG Pilipinas will continue supporting Immutable’s games and make them accessible to the Philippines, the epicenter of web3 gaming adoption.”

The guild has featured GOG at its virtual and in-person events, including the YGG Pilipinas Roadtrip, a nationwide tour that took place from April to July 2024.
