Renowned for its popular Trial Xtreme series, Gameplay Galaxy has revealed a major extension of its seed funding round. The amazing $24 million in funding is now available thanks to this additional $11 million. The investment, led by Merit Circle and Blockchain Capital, demonstrates the rising support for Gameplay Galaxy’s Web3 gaming strategy.
The additional funds will support the development and expansion of Trial Xtreme Freedom, a game set to redefine player engagement through Web3 technology. This title aims to bridge the gap between traditional Free-to-Play (F2P) models and the emerging Web3 landscape. Key features include digital ownership of tracks, which allows players to host their own tournaments and special events. Additionally, players will have the chance to craft and upgrade their bikes, earning tokens through their in-game achievements.
Doron Kagan, Founder and CEO of Gameplay Galaxy, shared his excitement: “We believe that Web3 represents the natural evolution of the Free-to-Play model, paving the way for the most significant transition in gaming history. This new paradigm not only enhances player engagement but also opens up unprecedented opportunities for the emergence of new gaming giants. We’re excited to be at the forefront of this revolution, driving innovation and creating value for our players and stakeholders.”
The funds will be strategically allocated to accelerate product development, expand the team, and refine marketing strategies. Maya Gurevich, Founder and COO of Gameplay Galaxy, emphasized the company’s commitment to player-centric design: “Our players are and will always be our focus. Trial Xtreme Freedom is ground zero where our decades of successful game development and Web3 innovation collide. We are here to revolutionize the entire gaming industry by empowering players to have meaningful ownership in a frictionless gaming experience, all while having fun setting new track records.”
Bart Stephens, GM at Blockchain Capital, added: “Through our investment career, spanning seed VC to hedge fund public equities, we have invested in the video game industry and realize that it’s incredibly challenging, requiring the right blend of talent, technology, and leadership. We have witnessed numerous VCs pour hundreds of millions into Web3 games and were not interested until we met the Trial Xtreme team. We believe that Doron, Maya, and their dedicated team, with over 300 million downloads under their belt and a deep understanding of blockchain, have the expertise to create the first Web3 game to achieve widespread mainstream success.”
