According to BlockBeats, Patriots Division, a game developer based in Malmo, Sweden, announced on May 2 that it has completed seed and Series A funding rounds, raising a total of $5 million for its first Web3 sci-fi action game, Shadow War. The Series A funding round was led by Momentum 6, with participation from iAngels, Cointelligence Fund, Xborg, Andromeda VC, Cogitent Ventures, and Cluster Capital.
Shadow War is a third-person 5v5 action competitive game set in a futuristic sci-fi world. The game draws inspiration from popular games like Overwatch and LOL, emphasizing close combat fighting and skill competition. It avoids the 'pay-to-win' mechanism, offering a free-to-play model and giving players a fair chance to earn premium resources.
The development team aims to overturn the image of early blockchain games that focused solely on money while neglecting the gaming experience. This move is seen as a significant step towards creating a more balanced and enjoyable gaming environment in the blockchain space.
