Chess is by no means a game with a small dwindling fanbase. The most iconic chess website, Chess.com, has boarded over 100 million players with a whopping 10 million daily games being played on its platform. Chess has proven its enduring appeal and with the introduction of a web3 version, it has the potential to onboard many users to the web3 industry.
Set to launch in early 2024, Anichess has already secured a $1.5 million seed round to further enhance its development. Prominent investors such as GameFi Ventures, Bing Ventures, and The Operating Group participated in the latest funding round to showcase their support for the project.
To give players a taste of what's to come, Anichess will release a playable alpha test during this period, allowing enthusiasts to get a firsthand experience of this innovative web3 chess game. The game is said to also provide a “magical twist” to the genre, likely spelling the addition of magic-based power-ups and a cool sorcery aesthetic.
Anichess brings the concept of decentralization and community ownership as its core values in development. This means putting the community at the forefront of its development, giving an emphasis on community feedback and engagement during development. Moreover, Anichess is said to cater to all skill levels, including new, casual players, and the most hardened chess veteran.
Mark your calendars for 2024 and stay tuned for more updates on the development and release of Anichess, the game that will redefine chess in the web3 era.
