Immutable, a gaming platform based on Ethereum, has announced this week plans to consolidate their networks. The original Immutable X Network will be merged into the new Immutable zkEVM Layer-2 Blockchain.
The merger, which is currently expected in late 2025, aims to unify the company's gaming ecosystem after substantial growth in its zkEVM network, which has processed nearly 150 million transactions since launching in early 2024.
"By consolidating hundreds of millions of dollars in assets across hundreds of games onto one unified chain, we have the opportunity to create the true home of Web3 gaming for the millions of Immutable players," the company wrote in a post.

The transition for users will be mostly automatic. The Immutable Passport wallet users will be able to see all their assets on Immutable ZkEVM. Users from other wallets, such as MetaMask, will receive their assets in their primary wallet. Users who don’t want to have their assets automatically migrated can opt out.
Game developers face more significant adjustments. Immutable X will deprecate its APIs, forcing developers to reimplement some mechanics. Asset contracts with the same ownership will automatically be deployed, but collection addresses may change. The company will offer an API to map these changes.
Immutable’s Guild of Guardians, published by the company, has already undergone such an upgrade. The firm notes that this is one of many games which “pioneered” it.
Immortal Rising 2 and Treeverse are among the other notable titles on Immutable.
Immutable IMX token has dropped nearly 25% since the beginning of the week, to a price of $0.393. This makes it CoinGecko’s 99th most valuable crypto by market capital. The IMX token briefly dropped out of the Top 100 this past week. According to the Price Resource, the chart at the top was left without any gaming tokens.
