Expanding its Web3 presence, the historical strategy game, Medieval Empires, is now accessible through the Epic Games Store.
Medieval Empires Debuts on Epic Games Store, Combining Strategy and Web3 Gaming
In the realm of historical strategy games, Medieval Empires has made a grand entrance on the Epic Games Store, officially launching in July 2025. This immersive 13th-century game offers a unique blend of traditional gameplay and optional Web3 digital asset ownership.
Gameplay and Factions
As empire builders, players are tasked with constructing towns, training military units, and defending territories against various opposing forces. The game features strategic kingdom building, battles, and faction management. The recent addition of the Crusader faction adds further depth to the gameplay, with initial challenges revolving around English Crusaders led by Edward Longshanks. Future expansions will introduce other factions such as the Mongols and Byzantines.
Blockchain Elements
Medieval Empires offers an optional "play and own" Web3 model. Players can choose to engage in purchasing NFT lands, upgrading characters, staking the native $MEE token, and participating in competitive events. The game's ecosystem is supported by blockchain infrastructure through Immutable zkEVM and Polygon networks.
The in-game currency, $MEE, has seen significant market interest, including a 240% price surge in the week prior to the Epic Games Store listing. The Immutable Passport system simplifies account creation using existing social media credentials.
Accessibility and Community
Medieval Empires caters to both conventional gamers and Web3 enthusiasts by integrating optional blockchain elements. The game is currently available for Windows and macOS users, with mobile versions for iOS and Android in beta testing.
Since opening to beta testers, Medieval Empires has achieved notable milestones, including the Genesis Commander NFT launch, seasonal loyalty reward programs, and weekly competitive leaderboard events. The game's community is further enriched by seasonal loyalty rewards, weekly leaderboards, and Genesis Commander NFTs.
Historical Immersion
Set during the late 1200s, Medieval Empires revolves around Ertugrul Gazi, a historical figure who led the Kayi Turkic Tribe. The character of Ertugrul Gazi is portrayed by Turkish actor Engin Altan Duzyatan.
With its inclusion on Epic Games, Medieval Empires is now positioned to introduce a broader audience to Web3 gaming, offering a captivating blend of strategic depth, historical immersion, and optional blockchain features.
Players can immerse themselves in the world of Medieval Empires, a strategy game now available on the Epic Games Store, by building empires, managing factions, and engaging with optional smartphone-friendly gadgets, like smartphones for the mobile version. The game's Web3 model allows players to purchase NFT lands, stake the native $MEE token, and participate in events, all made possible through advanced technology like Immutable zkEVM and Polygon networks.
