Medieval Empires Joins Epic Games Store in Pursuit of Expanded Web3 Influence
Medieval Empires Expands and Evolves on Epic Games Store
Medieval Empires, the strategy game set in the 13th century and centred around the historical figure Ertugrul Gazi, has made its debut on the Epic Games Store for Windows and macOS users [2][4]. The game is now poised to introduce a broader audience to Web3 gaming.
The game offers a unique blend of cinematic experience and strategic gameplay, with Engin Altan Düzyatan, a Turkish actor, portraying Ertugrul Gazi [7]. Players assume the role of empire builders, constructing towns, training military units, and defending territories against various opposing forces.
As part of its ongoing expansion, Medieval Empires is actively working on a mobile version for iOS and Android, scheduled for release by late 2025 [1][3][4]. The mobile rollout prioritizes accessibility, with VIP players at level 15 and above by August 20, 2025, receiving special consideration for early access [5].
The development team is also focusing on server scalability to handle increasing user loads, alongside finalizing mobile compatibility [3].
New factions are being added to the game, with the Crusader faction introduced in early 2025 and plans underway to further expand the world with additional factions and new content [2][4]. This transition from passive PvE gameplay towards competitive PvP modes includes missions and alliances that incentivize staking the native token $MEE [1].
Medieval Empires employs a "play and own" model, allowing optional engagement with digital assets like NFTs and the native token $MEE, using Immutable zkEVM and Polygon for infrastructure [4]. Social media login is simplified via Immutable Passport.
The in-game currency, $MEE, has witnessed a 240% price surge in the week prior to the Epic Games Store listing [6]. $MEE serves functions such as in-game upgrades, staking privileges, and unlocking exclusive items.
Since opening to beta testers in May 2024, the game has achieved milestones such as the Genesis Commander NFT launch, seasonal loyalty reward programs, and weekly competitive leaderboard events [6].
Future expansions will introduce other factions such as the Mongols and Byzantines, adding further depth to the gameplay [1].
In summary, Medieval Empires is a growing Web3 strategy title with a clear roadmap to mobile accessibility and richer in-game content. Players can purchase virtual land, upgrade characters, and stake tokens to receive rewards in this engaging historical strategy game.
