Goblintown Takes the Wheel with ‘Really Hard Driving Game’ Launch

Share

With the introduction of the Really Hard Driving Game, Goblintown, which is well-known for its bizarre NFT collection and erratic graphic style, is changing directions and entering the gaming industry. This game delivers a demanding, skill-based experience that will try your patience and gaming prowess. It was inspired by difficult independent hits like Getting Over It and Only Up. The game, which will be released on Steam and the Epic Games Store, will forgo blockchain features in favor of traditional, frustrating gameplay.

Pure Chaos, No Blockchain

The Really Hard Driving Game will take players on a wild ride as they control the Goblintown Burger Truck across treacherous courses. Packed with insane jumps, hazards, and setbacks, the game’s main focus is on difficulty, with frequent failures making each success feel like a major victory. The game’s trailer humorously warns, “It’s really hard, by the way, honestly, it’s incredibly hard. When my mom played, she immediately drove off the side and crashed because it’s so hard.”

Despite its origins in the Web3 world, this title drops NFTs and crypto integrations in favor of pure, unadulterated Web2 gameplay. The decision was influenced by Steam’s 2021 ban on blockchain-based games, though Epic Games Store allows NFT titles. Instead, Really Hard Driving Game will be a traditional release, embracing Goblintown’s unique art style and chaotic flair. According to Truth Labs co-founder Alexander Taub, “The game is a straight web2 game using our IP and world.”

The Really Hard Driving Game is more than just a difficult gaming experience—it also targets the streaming world. Linked to Abstract, an Ethereum Layer-2 network focused on consumer content, the game is expected to perform well with streamers. “Abstract has a big focus on streaming, and we think our game will be one of the most fun games to stream in 2025,” said Taub. With its brutal difficulty and potential for viral moments, this game is tailor-made for the gaming content scene.

Goblintown has a history of leveraging streaming culture, especially with its iconic presence in the viral indie game Only Up. The chaotic energy that has fueled Goblintown’s rise in the NFT space could translate well into the gaming world, generating a similar viral buzz as previous rage-inducing games like Jump King.

The Really Hard Driving Game is scheduled to release within the next 60 to 90 days, with players already able to wishlist it on Steam and Epic Games. While an official price hasn’t been confirmed, similar indie challenge-based games often hover around the $20 mark. As Goblintown gears up for its gaming debut, the question remains: will it sustain the attention of streamers and gamers alike, or will it fade as quickly as it went viral? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Goblintown is driving full speed into the gaming world.
