MARCH 9, 2022MetalCore Foundation announced today the completion of a $15 million private token and NFT sale for MetalCore, a mechanized combat game. Leading purchasers BITKRAFT Ventures and Delphi Digital were joined by Immutable, Sanctor Capital, Animoca, Youbi Capital, Bitscale, Spartan Capital and Umbrella as well as a number of leading gaming guilds highlighted by Yield Guild Games (YGG), YGG SEA, Merit Circle, Perion, Avocado, and BreederDAO.

Studio 369 developed MetalCore as the first massively multiplayer online (MMO) combat game that combines the engagement of high-quality traditional gaming with true asset ownership and other NFT mechanics that are intricately designed into gameplay. Unlike free-to-play games where players buy digital items with no inherent value, MetalCore’s in-game economy will allow players to buy, sell, and trade NFTs.

“Our team has extensive game development experience across premium and free-to-play games,” said Matt Candler, President of Studio 369, Inc. “We are gamers ourselves and will deliver fun and rewarding gameplay in this new business model that integrates NFTs with proven game mechanics.”

“From our experience in identifying trends and opportunities in the gaming industry, we have seen first-hand how carefully integrated NFT mechanics can create compelling new experiences. Studio 369 can leverage their strong game design track record and highly iterative development philosophy to deliver on their ambitious goal of creating an open-world MMO, catering to different player archetypes across game modes,” said Piers Kicks of BITKRAFT Ventures. “Alongside our partners at Delphi, we are delighted to support MetalCore’s vision for engaging user-centric gameplay, unlocked by a high caliber team eager to push the boundaries of this nascent gaming sector.”

“Delphi Digital is excited to announce their full support and backing of the game MetalCore,” said Yan Liberman, Co-Founder of Delphi Digital, “Delphi is confident in the team’s ability to deliver high-quality games given their prior track record, and is keen to provide support where possible on their token economy and NFT strategy. We are incredibly excited to participate in the next generation of robust, engaging NFT games.”

“Immutable is thrilled to back the team and vision of Metalcore,” said Robbie Ferguson, co-founder at Immutable. “We’re passionate about exceptional game development, robust economics, and game systems that deliver more value than ever into the hands of players. The Metalcore team has the experience and vision to continue expanding the boundaries and deliver something genre-defining.”

MetalCore’s development team has experience at Activision, Disney, Lucas Films, Midway, and on projects such as the MechWarrior 2 franchise, Mortal Kombat and Gears of War. The team also includes Hugo Award-winning concept artist Stephan Martiniere, who worked on Magic the Gathering, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, God of War, and Sky.
