Tavernlight Games has launched RavenQuest on Immutable as a next-generation MMORPG that is setting new benchmarks for Web3 gaming adoption — topping a million unique viewers.
After three successful land sales all selling out in minutes, in the lead-up to its launch, RavenQuest has achieved remarkable milestones, including over 8,200 concurrent viewers on Twitch within onehour of launch and securing a spot as one of the top four MMORPGs on the day of launch alongside World of Warcraft and RuneScape.
The game’s pre-launch success saw over one million unique viewers on Twitch, translating to more than250,000 active players in its first days. Mobile and PC cross-platform support has contributed to thismassive influx of players, reinforcing RavenQuest’s status as the most-streamed Web3 game on theplatform. (I think Off the Grid has beaten this number, but we’ll find out soon).
These metrics have solidified RavenQuest’s place as the most-played Web3 MMORPG in the world, with player retention rates exceeding expectations and player-owned assets in high demand.
“The RavenQuest global launch has proved that there’s real demand for web3 games,” said RobbieFerguson, president of Immutable, in a statement. “Streaming is a fundamental pillar of the mainstreamweb2 market, with 730 million hours of video games watched on Twitch in 2024. In just 1 hour afterlaunch, RavenQuest became the fourth most-streamed MMORPG on the site – that’s more viewers than Final Fantasy XIV.”
Ferguson added, “RavenQuest now holds the record as the most streamed Web3 game in history, with over one million unique viewers and nearly double the hours streamed held by the previous record holder, ‘Of the Grid’. When we see numbers like this, it’s really difficult not to get overexcited. We’re remaining calmly confident, but the takeaway from launch is clear: RavenQuest is going to be big, and not just in Web3.”
NFT trading volume surpassed $262,000 in the first 48 hours, making it one of the highest-grossing Web3gaming launches. RavenQuest continues to attract major gaming influencers and creators, driving organicadoption across the Web3 space.
Notable partnerships include Tempest Guild, which has committed as a major alliance partner, alongside five additional guild partnerships announced on March 15. RavenQuest’s launch success is also a direct success story of Immutable’s market-leading distribution and user acquisition capabilities.
