Digital motorsports hub Motorverse is joining forces with DeLorean Motor Company to bring the DeLorean sports cars to the gaming and motorsports ecosystem.

Owned by Animoca Brands, Motorverse continues to enhance its blockchain-powered network of motorsports and digital vehicles, with the latest addition being DeLorean’s iconic DMC-12 sports car. Although not yet revealed what games will be supported, the car is set to be integrated as a limited edition NFT collection in “select Motorverse web3 gaming titles”.

Current games in its cross-chain ecosystem include Torque Drift 2, High Voltage, Revv Racing, recently launched Cosmic Royale, and more.

“We could not be more excited to have partnered with Motorverse, a cutting-edge web3 innovator that will revolutionise digital racing games and motorsports through a community-building approach. There is tremendous symmetry between Animoca Brands’ model and the paradigm-shifting initiatives we are pursuing at DeLorean.  Our partnership with Motorverse will be an important part of our new digital ecosystem,” commented DeLorean Labs president Evan Kuhn.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with DeLorean Motor Company. Its commitment to precision engineering and luxury aligns perfectly with our mission to offer the Motorverse community the best possible gaming and motorsport experiences powered by web3 technology,” said Motorverse GM Will Griffiths.

DeLorean’s web3 arm, DeLorean Labs, has recently also unveiled a collaboration with Mysten Labs.

As part of that deal, DeLorean will build its forthcoming marketplace and other blockchain protocols on Mysten’s L1 blockchain Sui. In an initial joint initiative, the companies have kicked off a prize draw campaign featuring a DeLorean EV, among other prizes. 

The company had previously announced hookups with the Karate Combat project and battle royale game Open.
