Somnia, the high-performance blockchain built for gaming and entertainment, is proud to welcome Sparkball, the 4v4 sports brawler from Opti Games, to its growing ecosystem.
Backed by a recent $2 million raise and early momentum from its pre-release campaigns, Sparkball is set to push boundaries on Somnia’s high-speed Layer 1. Built by veterans from studios like Riot, Blizzard, and EA, the game combines strategic MOBA-style play with the adrenaline of classic sports titles. Now on Somnia, Sparkball gains access to new web3 features like wager-based matches, AI-vs-AI battles, and tournament rewards powered by Somnia’s blockchain.
Sparkball has already hosted events featuring G2, Cloud9, and Fnatic, developing a significant following along the way. With the addition of on-chain incentives and mechanics, the title is poised for esports expansion and broader reach into the web3 gaming world.
The announcement comes just ahead of Sparkball’s debut at Steam Next Fest, running from June 9 to 16. During the event, players will be able to try the game free and experience firsthand the action-packed gameplay that’s generating buzz across both web2 and web3 communities.
“Sparkball is an incredible addition to our ecosystem,” said Somnia founder Paul Thomas. “It’s competitive, it’s accessible, and it’s designed for scale, perfect for esports and a great fit for what we’re building.”
To mark the partnership, players will be able to unlock an exclusive Somnia-themed skin as part of the integration.
"Within the first 10 minutes of chatting during our playtest with the Somnia team, it was clear our visions for the future of gaming and how we get there were aligned,” Opti Games Founder, Chandler Thomlison, said. “We truly believe Sparkball is going to make the world a happier place and we're honored to have the incredible support and tech of Somnia behind us!"
