Calling all football fanatics and game enthusiasts! ⚽️

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce a major funding coup for Soccerverse. We’ve secured a strategic investment round of £2.5 million ($3.1 million), led by none other than the legendary games publisher Square Enix. This incredible achievement, along with continued support from our early investor Hiro Capital, brings our total funding to $4 million.

This investment is a game-changer for Soccerverse. It fuels our mission to transform the football/soccer management genre into a truly immersive and community-driven experience. As you know, Soccerverse is a free-to-play game where players can build a dream team and wield influence using the power of blockchain technology.

“We are thrilled to partner with a global gaming company of Square Enix’s reputation as we drive innovation and excellence in our game. This investment will allow us to attain new levels of quality and to reach a global audience,” said Soccerverse’s CEO Andy Gore.

Commenting on the investment on behalf of Square Enix, Hideaki Uehara, General Manager of Investment & Business Development, added, “Soccerverse stands out as the most innovative and unique game using blockchain features in the genre. We’re eager to continue our journey with it, now from the perspective of investors as well as fans”.

Hiro Capital General Partner, Sir Ian Livingstone, added: “I dare not think about how many hours I’ve spent playing football management games over the years. I’d lapsed, but Soccerverse will inspire me to play again. The social layer and the investing in players dynamic are compelling new features. I’m looking forward to seeing Manchester City reach new heights!”

Here’s why this funding is a win for Soccerverse and the community:

  • Square Enix Joins the Pitch: Having a titan like Square Enix on board is a massive validation of our vision for Soccerverse. Their expertise and resources will propel us towards becoming the premier football management game in the blockchain space.
  • Level Up Development: This funding allows us to optimize the launch and accelerate the growth of Soccerverse. Get ready for a smoother, faster, and more feature-rich experience.
  • Continued Support from Hiro Capital: Our partnership with Hiro Capital goes from strength to strength. Their industry expertise and support will be invaluable as we continue to develop groundbreaking blockchain features for Soccerverse.

The beautiful game is about to get revolutionary! With Square Enix and Hiro Capital by our side, we are confident that Soccerverse will redefine the way football management games are played.
