Singapore, February 29th 2024 – MixMob, a Solana-powered gaming universe based on Remix Culture, has proudly announced its strategic acquisition of the licensing rights to the Original Stormtrooper, which first appeared in Star Wars: A New Hope. This monumental partnership introduces the iconic Stormtrooper into the first card racer of Web3 gaming, MixMob: Racer 1, rendered as exclusive Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). 

The acquisition marks the initiation of MixMob’s official licensing strategy, with plans to secure three additional licenses in 2024. Drawing on the experience of CEO Simon Vieira and Executive Producer Pavel Bains, who successfully acquired licenses for Peanuts, Warner Bros Kids, DreamWorks, and various others, MixMob solidifies its position for future collaborations and advancements.

Crafted by renowned prop maker Andrew Ainsworth in 1976, the Original Stormtrooper debuted in the first installment of the now globally recognised franchise, setting the standard for intergalactic warfare aesthetics. Unique to the initial film, the design’s exclusivity has fueled its desirability among aficionados and collectors, positioning it as a coveted treasure in the realm of memorabilia.

Embracing the essence of remix culture, MixMob is set to revolutionize the mobile gaming landscape by integrating the Original Stormtrooper into its debut card racing game, MixMob: Racer 1. The introduction of the Stormtrooper Mask offers players an unparalleled opportunity to embody the spirit of the galaxy’s most formidable legion. Following the triumph of the MixBots sale, the MixMob team is gearing up to unveil Original Stormtrooper MixBots, mirroring the authentic helmet and armor design. Players will be able to race these 3D characters against others in the many arenas of MixMob: Racer 1. Early adopters of MixMob’s Gen0 Masks and Gen0 MixBots will be granted priority access to these exclusive releases, inviting them to claim a piece of cinematic history.

Simon Viera, CEO of MixMob, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “Integrating the Original Stormtrooper into MixMob fulfills a dream shared by game developers worldwide. Our vision is to create dynamic teams and factions that rally under the banner of the Original Stormtroopers, transforming them into symbols of unity and competition within the game. The anticipation of facing off against these iconic squads adds a thrilling dimension to the racing experience.”

Gamers worldwide are invited to dive into MixMob: Racer 1 on desktop platforms, offering a glimpse into the innovative integration of the Stormtrooper license. Additionally, securing a MixMob Gen0 Mask and MixBot not only enhances the gaming experience but also ensures early access to the highly anticipated Original Stormtrooper drops.

Through a special collaboration with Epik, additional enhancements and rewards will be made available to owners of the Original Stormtrooper items and players of the challenges.

This strategic move marks a significant milestone in the intersection of entertainment and technology, granting fans and gamers alike the chance to own and interact with an authentic piece of movie history. The Original Stormtrooper, brought to life through Andrew Ainsworth’s craftsmanship and Shepperton Design Studios, continues to stand as a testament to the enduring legacy of the iconic character, now reimagined for the digital age.

As MixMob ushers in a new era of mobile gaming, the integration of the Original Stormtrooper underscores a commitment to innovation, nostalgia, and the unifying power of iconic storytelling, paving the way for the mobile game’s release in Q2.
