Our take
Big Viking Games has long championed HTML5 as the go-to language for developing online social games, and with the decline of Adobe Flash, its foresight is paying off. In fact, many are now touting HTML HTML5 as the future of online social gaming, thanks to its ability to create smooth, embeddable games that bypass the hefty commission of app stores. So, it's a bit surprising that Big Viking Games hasn't yet expanded its impressive portfolio beyond the two major hits it released years ago.
However, there are exciting signs that the studio is working on something new and ambitious. Rumours point to a mobile project in the works. which would be a significant move for the company. Even more intriguing is the suggestion that this project could tap into the blockchain and crypto space, a rapidly growing industry that promises to revolutionize gaming.
As blockchain games are poised to gain tremendous traction in the coming years, Big Viking Games has a unique opportunity to break new ground. With its solid foundation and a fresh, innovative project, it could strike gold with a game that could reshape the landscape and drive major success.
