Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with thought leaders, create and experience new games, and participate in a host of activities designed to highlight the burgeoning field of Web3 gaming. Over 40 Web3 games will be on display, including Ragnarok Landverse, PROJECT XENO, Parallel, Anito Legends, Nine Chronicles, Mighty Action Heroes, Pixelmon, MetaCene, Sunflower Land, Riftstorm, and more.
"Globe's partnership with YGG underscores our unwavering commitment to creative innovation and the Filipino game development industry," said Pia Gonzales-Colby, Chief Marketing Officer at Globe. "This key event is part of our G Creator Series, which empowers the creator in every customer, regardless of the medium. We're proud to connect with partners such as MetaverseGo and YGG, championing both local and international creators to showcase their newest games."
As the Official Connectivity Partner, Globe will power connectivity for Web3 Game Jam, YGG Web3 Games Summit Conference, and YGG Web3 Games Summit Expo and Tournament ensuring a seamless and engaging experience for all participants."
But Globe's role goes beyond just powering the event. In a gesture of support for the game development community, Globe will be presenting a special prize at the Game Development Hackathon, the Web3 Game Jam. The winner will receive ₱100,000- a prize that will support the winning game prototype.
The company is also hosting a series of activities that merge philanthropy with fun, including a chance to win coveted All-Access passes by redeeming just a single Globe Rewards point via the GlobeOne app. All proceeds from the raffle will support the Hapag Movement, a Globe-led initiative dedicated to fighting involuntary hunger. Submission of raffle entries will be open from November 10 to 15, with the lucky winner to be named on November 17.
“Globe is an innovation leader in the Philippines, and we at YGG strongly align with their vision to advance technologies - such as Web3 - that have the potential to positively impact the lives of many millions of Filipinos,” said Mench Dizon, Country Manager, YGG Pilipinas. “Through our long term partnership, together we will fuel creativity, development, and new industries, while supporting and growing each other's communities.”
Globe's collaboration with MetaverseGo also adds an extra layer of excitement. Together, they are set to promote an on-ground booth, where activities will be energized by Globe Rewards. Participants can contribute to the Hapag Movement by donating one point through Globe Rewards.
The Summit will kick off with the Web3 Game Jam on November 18 and 19. This will set the stage for a dynamic two-day conference on November 21 and 22, where visionaries and industry pioneers will converge to chart the course of Web3 gaming's future.
The grand finale will be an expansive Expo & Tournament from November 23 to 25, offering fierce eSports tournaments, immersive exhibitions, and a showcase of the latest gaming innovations crafted by Filipino talent.
The collaboration between Globe and YGG underscores their dedication to nurturing the creative economy and supporting the next generation of game developers.
