New blockchain game studio InfiniGods is launching today, after raising $9 million in start-up costs back in May. The studio develops Web3 games that put everything in the players’ hands. NFTs, rewards and assets will work across all InfiniGods games. Pantera Capital led the original funding round. Framework Ventures and Animoca Brands also contributed to the round.
InfiniGods projects all center around ancient mythologies and civilizations. The company wants to make blockchain games accessible and fun for everyone. At the same time, it wants players to own their assets in the game while increasing the player-owned economy. Players will be able to earn in-game rewards, such as power-ups and boosts, just by playing and leveling up.
“Unique in NFT gaming, InfiniGods games are built from the ground up around the idea of interoperability,” InfiniGods co-founder Owen O’Donoghue said in a statement to GamesBeat. “Our NFTs are designed from the ground up to be accessible and usable as cross-game assets, not only in our games, but also in games developed outside of InfiniGods. Through InfiniGods, we can bring millions of new players to Web3 games !”
The studio already has a game out
The studio’s first game, InfiniMerge, is already in beta and is set to launch by the end of 2022. InfiniMerge is primarily a fusion-style puzzle game. It follows in the footsteps of games like Triple Town or 2048 — with a Web3 twist. Every day, players get a new level to play, inspired by legends and characters from different myths.
