NEW YORK, NY – October 6, 2022 – Scuti, the premier player rewards platform and gCommerce marketplace, today announced that GRIZLA Studios has joined the Scuti network. Players of the upcoming game “The Grail” will be able to purchase physical goods from the Scuti Marketplace and earn brand-fueled rewards with each purchase. Players earning Scuti$ can also use the currency to fuel in-game progression, receive expert hints and tips, and receive character backstory – all through the Scuti marketplace.
GRIZLA is one of India’s leading game makers, focused on building innovative titles for the PC market. The Grail is a choice-driven narrative set in present-day America. The player takes on the role of Simon Dale and through a few unexpected turns of events gets to relive his memories. The Grail will launch on Steam, Epic Store, and GOG in the summer of 2023.
“Scuti is bringing change,” said Hrithik Kumar Yadav, Chief Managing Director of GRIZLA. “The gCommerce platform that they’ve built is an authentic way for brands to connect with gamers and adds multiple revenue touchpoints to our business model.
