Darewise Entertainment’s “Life Beyond,” an open-world sci-fi game, has successfully raised $3.5 million in its latest token pre-sale. A subsidiary of Animoca Brands, Darewise’s unique venture into the metaverse has caught the attention of several investors, including the likes of Gamefi Ventures and Animoca Ventures.
The game promises players a chance to establish a new civilization, intricately woven with a tokenized digital economy and backed by NFTs. This innovation is further strengthened with the collaboration between Darewise and Horizon Labs, responsible for the Ethereum-based ApeCoin token launched in 2022.
Benjamin Charbit, the CEO of Darewise Entertainment, voiced his gratitude to the diversified group of investors. He emphasized that such widespread support across both the gaming and Web3 domains showcases the burgeoning confidence in the Bitcoin ecosystem’s potential.
In its foundation, Darewise’s vision stands tall on the Bitcoin Ordinals, which permit users to “inscribe” a myriad of content onto the Bitcoin blockchain, ranging from images to full-scale video games. These inscriptions equate to digital assets linked to a single satoshi, Bitcoin’s smallest unit.
Notably, Blocore’s founder, James Lim, commended “Life Beyond” for its pioneering approach in the Bitcoin ecosystem. He recognized the game’s potential to reshape the realms of digital interaction and connectivity.
Despite being established only in 2018, Darewise Entertainment’s endeavors have already seen vast support. Apart from the recent pre-sale, investors such as London Real Ventures and Citizen Capital have also shown keen interest in the company’s expansive vision, which aims to integrate various gaming elements and brand collaborations with the Darewise token at its core.
Animoca Brands, founded by Yat Siu, has been making waves since it started back in 2014. As of a year ago, it was estimated that the firm held an investment portfolio of over $1.5 billion in value.
