Hi DeHorizon Metaverse Human!
In the movement towards the Web3 world, we have seen many different gaming innovations pour into the metaverse sector. Challenging but also Exciting!
To embrace the fast-growing market and make DeHorizon become the leading metaverse game ecosystem, we are delighted to announce that our Chief Product Officer — Todd Porter has partnered with Richard “Lord British” Garriott, MMORPG heavyweight and creator of the beloved Ultima series to launch an Austin-based gaming studio — DeMeta. 🤟
Richard Garriott, creator of the Ultima game series
DeMeta is a newly formed MMO studio and US arm of DeHorizon. Helmed by the original minds behind titles such as Ultima Online and Dungeons & Dragons, DeMeta seeks to create innovative online worlds through new technologies.
The medieval fantasy game Effigy, earlier shared with our dear community, is what DeMeta is committed to presenting as the first step shifting towards Web3.
Gaming veterans jump into Web3
Since the appearance of Web3, the finance-featured incentive mechanism and community-driven collaboration means do heavily influence the traditional gaming development loop. Apparently, the future paradigm of game development is coming! 🚀
Todd and Richard, as gaming veterans, have years of world-building experience across genre-defining titles such as Ultima, Ultima Online, Lineage, Tabula Rosa, and Shroud of the Avatar.
With the strong consensus of the Web3-empowered gaming landscape, Todd and Richard are determined to leverage their ability to push MMOs forward to the next level and assemble more like-minded game lovers together in the DeHorizon metaverse.
“Ultima has an enormous fanbase of 25+ million players. Our mission is to take MMOs to the next level,” says Todd Porter, “offering this huge fan base the opportunity to help build our next title, and to shape the next version of RPG the same way that Richard and I shaped those in the past.”
“In 1997 my team at Origin published the first true massively multiplayer online game,” says Richard, “Ultima Online created something new, and spawned a genre that has continued to evolve and grow for more than 25 years. We’re seeking to create that same magic to evolve and reinvigorate MMOs once again.”
Companion with leading investors
As the US arm of DeHorizon, DeMeta is powered and supported by key industry leaders including Griffin Gaming Partners, Sfermion, Dragonfly Capital, Gumi Cryptos Capital, Yield Guild Games and Animoca Brands.
“NFT is an infrastructure that confers immortality to a digital object,” said Miko Matsumura, General Partner at Gumi Cryptos Capital, “But only a truly legendary team like Richard Garriott and Todd Porter can make game objects that are worthy of that immortality.”
We appreciate and are grateful for the long-term support and solid suggestions from our close investors since DeHorizon was officially established. In the near future, more surprises await you to find out! LFG, DeMeta! 🔥
