Historic Empires Venture onto Epic Games Store to Enhance Web3 Presence
In an exciting development for strategy game enthusiasts and Web3 enthusiasts alike, Medieval Empires - a Web3 strategy game set in the 13th century - has officially launched on the Epic Games Store[1][2][3]. This move expands the game's reach to a larger PC gaming audience.
Expanding Horizons with Epic Games Store
The addition of Medieval Empires to the Epic Games Store in July 2025 opens up the game to millions of new players interested in strategy games and Web3 experiences[1][2][3]. This launch complements ongoing developments, such as the mobile version and new in-game content, including the introduction of new factions like the Crusaders in early 2025[1].
A "Play and Own" Web3 Gaming Experience
Medieval Empires operates a "play and own" model with optional blockchain integration. Players can purchase NFT virtual land, upgrade characters, and stake the native token $MEE to earn rewards[1]. The game utilises Immutable zkEVM and Polygon blockchains for its infrastructure, and Immutable Passport enables easy account creation via social media credentials, lowering the entry barrier for blockchain newcomers[1].
Engaging Player Incentives
The native token $MEE has seen a 240% surge in value in the week before the Epic launch, reflecting strong market interest[1][5]. $MEE is essential for in-game upgrades, staking rewards, and unlocking exclusive items. Players can participate in weekly competitive leaderboards, seasonal loyalty reward programs, and other events offering various incentives[1][5].
A Cinematic Gaming Experience
Medieval Empires revolves around Ertugrul Gazi, a historical figure who led the Kayi Turkic Tribe. Players assume the role of empire builders, constructing towns, training military units, and defending territories. Engin Altan Duzyatan portrays Ertugrul Gazi in the game, lending a cinematic dimension to the strategic gameplay[5].
Initial gameplay challenges revolve around English Crusaders led by Edward Longshanks. Mobile versions for iOS and Android are currently in beta testing. Future plans include completing the mobile version and expanding the game world with additional content and new factions, such as the Mongols and Byzantines[5].
This launch on Epic Games Store represents a strategic move to bring Web3 gaming to mainstream audiences while maintaining optional blockchain features for traditional strategy fans[1][3]. The Immutable Passport system simplifies account creation using existing social media credentials, catering to both conventional gamers and Web3 enthusiasts[1]. Players have the choice to engage with crypto-based features or enjoy the game without interacting with blockchain elements.
