Bitkraft and Hashed lead $10 million round for crypto gaming studio Avalon
Bitkraft Ventures and Hashed co-led a $10 million funding round for crypto gaming studio Avalon, which is slated to release a massively multiplayer online game. Later this year, players will be invited to play a closed, early-access version of the game, also called “Avalon.”
The company's first game, also called "Avalon," is being built by a team of people with experience working for major web2 gaming companies. To develop the title, Avalon has partnered with "artificial intelligence pioneers Didimo and Inworld AI," the company said in a statement.
“The Avalon universe prioritizes delivering an immersive gameplay experience by combining cutting-edge tech like Unreal Engine 5 with AI-assisted user-generated content systems," Avalon CEO and founder Sean Pinnock said in the statement. "Our focus on a no-code solution enables players to create game logic effortlessly. Plus, our upcoming NFT collection will introduce AI-powered avatar NFTs."
Pinnock previously worked at Electronic Arts and Microsoft, according to his LinkedIn.
"Through vibrant, complex and yet easy-to-build [user-generated content] experiences Avalon can make a significant contribution to the rise of the Synthetic Reality, and with it enable experiences with deep economies," said Carlos Pereira, a partner at Bitkraft Ventures, according to the statement.
Synthetic Reality refers to the generation and simulation of digital worlds and systems.
A spokesperson said players will be invited to play "Avalon" in a closed, early-access version of the game, which will be available later this year.
Other participants in the funding round included Coinbase Ventures, Spartan Capital, Foresight Ventures, LiquidX, and Momentum6, Avalon said.
