Voya Games Raises $5 Million to Launch Craft World
– 1 min read
Berlin-based studio Voya Games has raised a total of $5 million in its latest round of financing. The money will help launch and grow the blockchain game Craft World, which is currently in the testing phase.
The aim is to build a token-based ecosystem in which games are connected through a shared player economy and culture. This is what founder and CEO Oliver Löffler told Games Beat. The Berlin-based company apparently wants to build this ecosystem with its first title, Craft World, a mobile casual game that, according to the company, is currently in the test phase, has over 50,000 MAUs and around 1.1 million on-chain trades.
The launch of Craft World is planned for summer. The capital raised will primarily be used to support the start-up and growth phases. The investment in Voya Games was led equally by 1kx and Makers Fund with participation from RockawayX and angels Jeffrey Zirlin, Co-Founder of Sky Mavis and BORGET Sebastien, Co-Founder & COO of The Sandbox & many more.
Oliver Löffler is no stranger to the German games industry. He once founded the studio Fluffy Fairy Games with Florian Dreschner and Daniel Stammler, which later moved to Berlin, was renamed Kolibri Games and was eventually taken over by Ubisoft. Florian Dreschner is also on board at Voya Games as co-founder.
