The much-anticipated digital trading card game is set to launch its alpha in early 2025 on SKALE’s gas-free blockchain network. San Francisco – In a groundbreaking partnership, SKALE Labs, the foundation driving SKALE's gas-free blockchain network, and Deadfellaz, a popular Ethereum-based NFT collection, have announced “Death Touch,” a genre-defying digital trading card game (TCG) set to debut in Q1 2025. Aiming to redefine gaming on the blockchain, Death Touch is built for Web3 enthusiasts and casual gamers alike, designed to leverage SKALE’s scalable, gas-free infrastructure. This mobile-first, free-to-play (F2P) title marks Deadfellaz’s foray into mainstream gaming, bringing a new level of interactivity and storytelling to the TCG genre. “Deadfellaz has consistently pushed boundaries with immersive storytelling and gamification,” says Psych, Co-Founder of Deadfellaz. “Death Touch builds on that legacy, offering TCG fans a fresh, dynamic gaming experience that isn’t bogged down by traditional transaction fees, thanks to SKALE’s unique blockchain architecture.” Gaming on SKALE’s Gas-Free Network: A Win for Players and Developers The decision to host Death Touch on SKALE was strategic. With more than 45 million unique active gaming wallets and over $8.5 billion saved in transaction costs, SKALE provides a high-speed, EVM-compatible platform that aligns with Web2’s frictionless user experience. SKALE’s Chief Marketing and Growth Officer, Andrew Saunders, spoke on the collaboration, highlighting SKALE’s unique positioning in Web3 gaming. “SKALE is empowering projects that build for real consumer adoption, not just brand visibility. Deadfellaz, with its massive community, was a natural fit. As a longtime Deadfellaz supporter, it’s incredibly exciting to see founders I’ve believed in from the start continue to grow this brand in a meaningful way,” Saunders shared. SKALE’s infrastructure is designed with a zero-gas fee model that minimizes barriers for gamers, allowing Death Touch players to focus on gameplay without the hassle of costly blockchain fees. The network’s scalable, high-throughput setup makes it ideal for the vast data loads that TCGs require, ensuring a fluid, Web2-like experience in a Web3 environment. A Community-Centric Push into Mainstream Gaming With over 6,000 unique collectors, Deadfellaz plans to bring its loyal community into Death Touch while appealing to a wider audience of TCG enthusiasts. The game’s design combines familiar elements of competitive and casual card games with Deadfellaz’s distinctive lore and visual style, creating a product that appeals to a diverse gaming demographic. By tapping into SKALE’s advanced infrastructure, Death Touch aims to attract a spectrum of players, from seasoned Web3 users to casual mobile gamers. This announcement follows SKALE’s recent high-profile partnership with gaming legend Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari and Pong, who is also developing a Web3 project on the SKALE network. With over 150 games currently under development, SKALE is fast becoming a go-to network for ambitious Web3 gaming projects. As blockchain gaming continues to grow, SKALE and its partners are set on driving mainstream adoption through a high-performance, user-friendly ecosystem.
