A Web2 gaming studio entering Web3 is always an event. But the launch of Triumphia Origins, an NFT collection associated with the game Fight Me by Nekki was even more special, as the studio boasts a billion game downloads. It’s no surprise that the collection sold out in two minutes.
Triumphia Origins: your golden ticket to the Fight Me game by Nekki on Polygon
Nekki is the game publisher behind such action and strategy hits as Shadow Fight, Vector, and 11×11. The studio, which is partnered with Polygon and MetaMask, is now building its first Web3 game, Fight Me.

The first part of the project to go live is the Triumphia Origins NFTs, a collection of 10,000 fighter characters named after Triumphia – the city where the events of Fight Me unfold.
All Triumphia Origins holders are entitled to a variety of privileges:
- a whitelist spot on the main Fight Me mint, planned for November 2023 on Magic Eden;
- early access to the Fight Me game (Q1 2024);
- member-only contests and VIP activities on Discord, and more.
What happened during the Triumphia Origins mint on Magic Eden?
Triumphia Origins held a free mint on Magic Eden on October 13. It started at 5 pm UTC with two hour-long rounds for the Discord OGs – a logical step, considering how much Nekki values its community. The next round was first come, first served – and saw 6,000 Triumphia NFTs minted in
less than two minutes. As a result, the mint never got to the public round.
Such a level of interest is not surprising, given the large following of Fight Me. In just a few short months, Nekki built one of the most passionate and active Discord communities in all of GameFi.
The server hosts regular tournaments between the two leading fighter squads, as well as frequent contests. The recent contest where users were asked to share their personal achievements garnered thousands of submissions.
About Nekki and Fight Me
Nekki is a Cyprus-based game publisher known for its high-quality action and strategy franchises, including Shadow Fight – one of the industry’s biggest fighting franchises. Overall, Nekki’s games have been downloaded over a billion times – and all of this growth has been organic. Among the studio’s other achievements:
- Over 12 million followers across all franchises’ social accounts;
- Never had to raise funds from outside investors.
- Released successful mobile, browser, and social games;
- 300+ professionals working for the studio;
- Built the popular animation tool Cascadeur, used by 100,000 animators and developers.
The company’s first Web3 title, Fight Me, is a Polygon-based browser game that combines Play-to-Own and Compete-to-Earn elements.
In Fight Me, players will be able to collect fighters, form fight clubs, helping their squads win titles in tournaments. Along the way, they will unlock weapons, skills, and random power-ups. Users can then sell their upgraded fighters in the secondary market.
Fight Me’s relaxed gameplay, no-download browser format, and fiat-friendly economics will also appeal to Web2 games – an audience that already knows and loves Nekki’s products.
The main Fight Me NFT mint is scheduled for November 2023 – with whitelist spots reserved for all the Triumphia Origins holders, like we noted above. Follow Fight Me on X and Discord for updates.
