The sale of virtual land in Legacy began on Saturday.
According to the Rock Paper Shotgun portal, in a few days users purchased NFT plots totaling 14 thousand ETH. This is equal to approximately £40.5 million ($53.7 million).
The most expensive transaction was the purchase of an old digital site in London, released in a limited edition. For this piece of virtual land, a certain user paid £ 670 thousand ($ 888 thousand).
The release of the new Molineux game is scheduled for 2022. However, his studio 22cans does not have the best reputation in terms of launching its projects. Her first Godus game raised £520,000 (approximately $689,000) on Kickstarter, but was closed after negative reviews. It is still in early access on Steam and has not received updates for five years.
After the failure of Godus, Molyneux wanted to make a mobile title The Trail. However, he also failed due to numerous technical problems and the inability to transfer his purchases to another phone.
