Blockchain Gaming takes a recent win as Azra Games, a team of veteran game developers, has announced its latest seed round funding, receiving a whopping $10 million for blockchain gaming development.
The seed round was led by Andreessen Horowitz(A16z) along with other investors such as Play Ventures, Coinbr Ventures, and Franklin Templeton, bringing the total funding of the company to $25 million.
The funding will be used for the development of Legions and Legends, a new sci-fi action RPG NFT game. This is Azra Game’s first game, and it started off with a $15 million seed round from last year. The company is headed by gaming industry veteran, Mark Otero, who has previously worked on Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and is a well-established name within the gaming industry.
What is Legions and Legends?
The game is an action-packed NFT game that allows players to collect and train a roster of powerful heroes. Using their unique abilities, players can go up against powerful creatures and bosses where they will have the opportunity to climb up the leaderboard, giving them sweet rewards for their efforts.
Just recently, the game release its NFT collection called the Hopeful Collection, Azra Game’s first and only NFT profile pic mints. Holders of this special collection will have exclusive benefits such as access to discord channels, early beta access, and many more. It’s essentially a play-forever pass.
Azra Games is not the only company bullish on the future of blockchain gaming. Ubisoft has recently continued its steady march towards web3 games, having recently partnered once more with The Sandbox to release in-game avatars of Rabbids.
Despite the backlash gaming companies have received for its web3 push, companies are still going strong with their policy of incorporating blockchain aspects with their future projects.
The game is still in its development stage, but it has already gained a lot of attention from gamers and investors alike. With the recent seed round funding, Azra Games will have the necessary resources to continue to develop and improve Legions and Legends.
