Gaia EverWorld, an immersive, multi-region fantasy world where players create their own kingdoms, has acquired $3.7 million in capital from well-known blockchain industry investors through a private sale.
Inspired by classic games like Pokeman, Clash of Clans, and Age of Empires, Gaia EverWorld aims to become “a key part of the new generation of gaming that is being developed on the blockchain.”
The announcement also mentioned that distributed ledger tech (DLT)-based games like Gala EverWorld aim to give players “complete ownership of their in-game assets and also incentivizes them for engaging with an innovative play-and-earn gaming model.”
Whether you are fighting it out in PVP Battle Mode, “adventuring” across the diverse and mysterious expanse of the EverWorld in the MMORPG, or exploring and conquering mythical kingdoms in the PVE Legion mode, players will be able “to experience engaging, entertaining and interactive gameplay while also earning tokenized rewards in the process.”
As mentioned in the update, Gala EverWorld is backed by Polygon, Au21, Mexc Capital, chainGuards, BSCStation, Defiboost, Aussie Capital, OIG, Brotherhood, Avstar, Shima Capital, Basics Capital, Momentum6, CryptoThugs, Fairum, Panda Capital, Onebit Ventures, GD10 ventures, Exnetwork, and Chronos ventures.
Josh Bull, the CEO of Gaia, stated:
“Gaia Everworld is part of the next-gen of gaming being built on the blockchain. It gives players full ownership of their in-game characters, and rewards them for engaging in ‘play-to-earn’ models of gaming which have become quite popular in the crypto space this year. Gaia Everworld is truly an immersive, multi-region fantasy world in which players can create their own kingdoms, explore different lands, while collecting, breeding and battling other players, referred to as the Gaia Legionnaires.”
A Polygon spokesperson noted:
“Blockchain-powered gaming has really taken the crypto world by storm in 2021. These games are truly unique because they allow players to take on a more significant role in the gaming process. Not only is the gameplay quite interactive and engaging, but players are able to effectively participate in a tokenized, digital economy that allows them to earn sizable returns. We’re firm believers in the play-to-earn business model, which is one of the main reasons why we decided to invest in Gala Everworld. Our team is looking forward to becoming a key contributor to this fast-evolving sector.”
