Spectarium Games has struck a platform partnership to integrate its upcoming ARPG, MYTHS, into the Mythical Marketplace, expanding Mythical’s lineup and enabling verifiable in‑game ownership. The deal, announced in late November/early December 2025, ties Spectarium’s gameplay‑first studio to a blockchain marketplace with existing scale and developer reach.
Deal terms, studio background, and platform rationale
Spectarium, a remote‑first studio headquartered in Oulu, Finland, was founded in 2019 by Romain Schneider, Mark Peterson and Plarium co‑founders Avi and Gabi Shalel. The team brings experience from major publishers and has concentrated resources on MYTHS, a cross‑platform, four‑player cooperative action RPG steeped in mythology that the studio has described as its flagship title.
Spectarium has raised over $5 million in seed funding and $10.36 million in total across two rounds from investors including BITKRAFT Ventures and Framework Ventures. The partnership makes MYTHS the first externally developed title and the first Action RPG to integrate directly with the Marketplace.

Integrating MYTHS into the Mythical Marketplace allows Spectarium to outsource core marketplace infrastructure instead of building tokenization, custody and trading rails in‑house, reducing technical and capital outlays and letting the studio prioritize gameplay.
Mythical Games, led by CEO John Linden, brings an established platform that has supported high‑profile collaborations and was valued at $1.25 billion after a $150 million Series C in November 2021. The marketplace is positioned to enable tradable, verifiable ownership of in‑game assets from day one, creating direct monetization routes for loot and collectibles and opening secondary‑market dynamics that can affect liquidity and price formation.
Short quote.
“We found partners who could help deliver ownership to players without losing what makes MYTHS special,” said Romain Schneider, Spectarium’s CEO. John Linden added that the collaboration “highlights the strength and reliability of the Mythical Marketplace” and that the platform is “built to scale player‑owned economies without sacrificing the quality of the gameplay experience.”
Definitions, risks, and implications for traders and treasuries
Player‑owned economies are systems that let users hold, trade and monetize digital assets with provable ownership; they can create secondary markets and introduce token‑like liquidity into game ecosystems.
For treasuries and institutional players, the immediate implications are: (1) new asset classes tied to game economies, (2) the need to evaluate on‑chain liquidity and custody solutions, and (3) exposure to platform concentration risk when a single marketplace hosts large inventories.
The integration signals a practical advance for Web3 gaming but carries known challenges. Regulatory ambiguities around tokenized digital goods, secondary‑market compliance and custodial arrangements remain unresolved. Product quality, player adoption and secondary‑market liquidity will determine whether tokenized loot translates into durable economic value or episodic speculation. Operationally, studios and counterparties must assess counterparty and smart‑contract risk when routing assets through a third‑party marketplace.
The partnership positions MYTHS to launch with marketplace infrastructure in place and expands Mythical’s genre reach into ARPGs. Market participants should track marketplace onboarding, custody arrangements and early secondary‑market activity as the next verified milestone ahead of MYTHS’ planned rollout and community launch.
