On June 30, 2025, FLOKI officially launched V, a blockchain-based game inspired by Norse mythology. The game runs on , a Layer-2 network designed to enable fast and inexpensive transactions. Players take control of Veras — customizable NFT characters — in a browser-based, turn-based tactical MMORPG that blends combat, exploration, and questing with blockchain-backed rewards. The play-to-earn economy is built around FLOKI tokens, which players earn by completing in-game tasks and winning battles.
To support the game’s rollout, the FLOKI team has committed millions of dollars from its treasury to fund development, marketing campaigns, and in-game incentives. That long-term investment signals the project’s intention to build a sustainable blockchain gaming ecosystem rather than a short-term promotional play.

Method will serve as a strategic content partner, producing onboarding materials, game guides, and live coverage to help Valhalla appeal to both traditional gamers and crypto-native audiences. The partnership will include branded jerseys and appearances in gaming tournaments throughout 2025 and 2026, designed to grow Valhalla’s player base and community awareness.
These developments represent a pivotal moment in FLOKI’s evolution, as the project attempts to move beyond its meme origins and establish itself at the intersection of Web3 technology, entertainment, and digital asset ownership.
