We are a team of industry experts from traditional AAA game development that are bringing our talent and quality to the Web3 gaming space. In order to build a game-changing product for Web3 that has the quality and longevity expected from a AAA live action game, we must hire the right people at the right time. I am confident that this new round of funding and the strategic partners that come with it will enable us to hire those right people, supercharging our production.”
