Epic Games to Release Two New Blockchain Games as Pixel Penguin NFT Project Faces Accusations of Fraud and Sotheby's Plans Largest Ever Live Auction of Digital Art

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has accused Pixel Penguin, an NFT project, of being a "charity project rug." The project gained attention for its supposed charitable donations, but members of the NFT community have alleged that the creator has profited from selling stolen art and may have lied about having cancer.

Epic Games Store is set to release two new blockchain games, including a Pokemon-inspired multiplayer RPG and a mafia-themed FPS game with NFT battle monster characters.

Additionally, Epic Games plans to add 20 new blockchain games to its store over the next year. Sotheby's is set to auction off 37 NFTs from Three Arrows Capital's Grails collection, which it describes as the "largest ever live auction of digital art." Kellogg's has filed for trademarks related to the Metaverse, NFTs, collectibles, and crypto tokens for brands such as Froot Loops and Pop-Tarts. Finally, Magic has raised $52 million in a funding round led by PayPal Ventures.
