The indie game subsidiary has just received backing from Epic Games for its upcoming blockchain-powered P2E racing game Torque Drift 2.

Australian indie game developer Grease Monkey Games, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has received financial backing from gaming giant Epic Games to develop a new blockchain-based motorsports game Torque Drift 2
Receiving an Epic MegaGrant from the Fortnite developers, the funding will be used to develop the motorsports title, which is drift-based. The Unreal Engine is a 3D computer graphics game engine developed by Epic Games, which has been used in many industries after it was first introduced in the 1998 game Unreal.
According to an August 18 announcement from Animoca Brands, the Epic MegaGrant, which ranges from $5,000 to $500,000, will be used to develop a realistic gaming experience comparable to other triple-A games that use also the unreal engine.
Given that Grease Monkey Games is developing a play-to-earn (P2E) game, Epic Games' grant represents a notable show of support from the traditional gaming industry, which has often been at odds with blockchain gaming .
Torque Drift 2 is an upcoming drifting motorsport game with a tuning garage available to players from Q3 2022 and a full release date set for 2024. The game will use parts, cars, decals and non-fungible items (NFTs) that players can use to develop their car and profile.
Players will also be able to create their own paint job and car tuning NFTs, which can then be shared and sold on the Torque Drift 2 marketplace.
Grease Monkey Games is a traditional game developer that has released original IP games since 2014, which have over 45 million downloads worldwide. They were acquired by Animoca Brands in February 2022 and Animoca will support them as they transition to blockchain games.
