Civitas joins Immutable to Scale Web3 MMO Strategy Gameplay

Civitas is evolving, and so is our infrastructure.

To support the next phase of our journey, we are excited to announce that Civitas is officially moving to Immutable zkEVM, powered by Polygon.

As a city-building strategy game blending 4X mechanics with blockchain-driven economies, our mission has always been to build a player-owned world that grows with its community. This partnership with Immutable gives us the foundation to do that faster, more securely, and at a whole new scale.

Why Immutable: more speed, lower costs, same vision

Immutable zkEVM is purpose-built for gaming. It combines EVM compatibility, Ethereum-grade security, low fees, and massive scalability, all while providing native integration with Immutable’s full-stack web3 gaming platform. For us, that means:

• Fewer backend headaches
• Faster time-to-market new Chosen collections and assets
• More time to actually build Civitas into a grand-strategy MMO game

Players stand to benefit the most. With Immutable Passport, Civitas can offer gas-free gameplay and trading, removing one of the biggest pain points in blockchain gaming. You’ll be able to play, earn, and trade without worrying about gas fees.

We also gain from the combined network effect of Immutable and Polygon, giving us broader reach, stronger discoverability, and access to the largest gaming ecosystem in web3.

Whether you've been a Citizen since day one or you're just discovering Civitas, this upgrade makes it easier than ever to join, play, and contribute to a living, growing game world.

Moving to L2 seamlessly

We are working to make the transition to Immutable as seamless as possible for holders of the Chosen of Civitas collection.

• The original Chosen collection will remain on Ethereum L1, while gaining all the benefits of integration with IMX
• It will be fully interoperable with future L2 assets, ensuring continuity and flexibility

In the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about:

• Immutable Passport integration
• Smart contract migration
• Upcoming content drops
• And more via our Discord and social channels
