After more than three years of development, Floki officially launched the mainnet of its highly anticipated blockchain MMORPG, Valhalla, on June 30, 2025. Within days, the game has already recorded over 100,000 Veras minted.
These Veras—tameable, tradable NFT creatures—form the foundation of Valhalla’s Norse-inspired universe and are central to both gameplay and the in-game economy.
Valhalla is a browser-based game, making it widely accessible without requiring downloads or high-end hardware. This is a major advantage for onboarding users in emerging markets, where mobile gaming dominates and crypto adoption is accelerating.
The game’s lightweight structure, paired with NFT integration and a real in-game economy powered by the FLOKI token, gives it an edge in reaching both crypto users and traditional gamers.
Unlike other NFT games, Valhalla emphasizes player control and ownership. Every Vera is a blockchain-based NFT that players can collect, train, and battle within a fully fleshed-out MMORPG environment. The game features turn-based tactical combat, resource management, and a massive Norse-themed open world—all accessible directly through a browser.

From Meme Coin to Gaming Platform
Once seen as a meme coin, Floki is now establishing itself as a legitimate player in Web3 gaming. The Valhalla launch is the culmination of an extended strategic pivot, backed by aggressive global marketing, high-profile partnerships, and serious product development.
Pedro Vidal, Floki’s Community Relations Officer, emphasized that Valhalla is designed to solve the problems plaguing most play-to-earn projects.
Floki didn’t rely solely on tech to launch Valhalla, it brought serious firepower to marketing too. A multi-channel strategy included:
- National TV ads on Bloomberg, Fox Business, and CNBC
- Times Square digital ads running 20 times per hour
- Esports sponsorship during Global Esports Industry Week
- Stadium branding with Nottingham Forest FC
- Targeted mobile ads in countries like India, Vietnam, Nigeria, and Argentina
- Twitch and YouTube campaigns focused on gaming and crypto communities
With over 10 million impressions expected from the outreach push, Valhalla’s visibility has gone far beyond crypto Twitter.
