Dynasty Studios Raises $5 Million to Create Gamer-Focused Blockchain Games

Dynasty Studios, a product of Logic Artists, a Danish gaming studio that focuses on PCs and console games involving tactical role-playing, recently announced a $5 million investment geared at building blockchain games that focus on satisfying mainstream gamers. Logic Artists, through Dynasty Studios, are now focused on creating a “gamer first” approach to blockchain games.

While at an interview with GamesBeat, CEO of Dynasty Studios Ali Emek said this approach focused on, “delivering rich gameplay experiences inside a universe of robust in-game economies.” Emek also added that, “We were looking at blockchain technology and this space very closely in the past year. We see a lot of very interesting and exciting opportunities there. We want to use the technology in games and make games for gamers. Our goal with Dynasty is to combine this to make games for gamers powered by blockchain.” Dynasty’s first blockchain-based game, HAN (not the official name), will launch soon. The triple-A-quality, multiplayer survival game promises players an innovative experience. In HAN, gamers have moment-to-moment gameplays, while having a chance to make the most out of tradable, on-chain, in-game items. The game’s aim is for players to enjoy playing and get money out of it. This approach is different from the current concept of playing for the sake of making money. In support of this, cofounder of Framework Ventures, Vance Spencer, said:

“Dynasty Studios is an exceptional example of how gaming companies can integrate with emerging technologies without having to forego what makes their games unique and enticing to the gaming community.”

Mainstream Blockchain Games Ever Increasing In Number

The craze for coming up with crypto-based games has been on the rise ever since Axie Infinity became a hit. Many investors have seen how lucrative the games offering Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) can be and are now focusing their funds towards this niche.Dynasty Studios now joins the bandwagon as one of the mainstream NFT game making companies, including others like Com2Us and Ubisoft. At the same time however, blockchain games have received criticism for their failure to focus on the needs of mainstream gamers. Some critics believe these games are focused on making returns more than they are on delivering quality and entertaining gameplay to gamers. This is the gap the Dynasty Studios believe it can bridge, with the help of its leading investor Framework Ventures. Besides Framework Ventures, Dynasty Studios has received backing from a host of other investors. These include: Dapper Labs, CoinFund, Wood Investment Partners, Stefano Schiavi, and Timo Schlaefer.
