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