Mythical Games Nears Series D Funding With Worldcoin and ARK Invest

Mythical Games is preparing to close its highly anticipated Series D investment round by October 20, with interest from both existing investors and new backers. While the final funding total has not been disclosed, insiders expect the round to be one of the company’s largest to date. Among the returning investors is Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest, signaling continued confidence in the blockchain-driven gaming pioneer.

Good to Know

• The Series D round is expected to include ARK Invest and new partners.
• Worldcoin joins as both an investor and technology collaborator.
• Integration will focus on identity verification and secure player engagement.

As part of its next growth phase, Mythical Games has confirmed a strategic partnership with Worldcoin, a blockchain project co-founded by Sam Altman. The collaboration will bring Worldcoin’s identity technology into the company’s gaming ecosystem, Mythos, to create a safer, more transparent player experience.

“Mythical is integrating with Worldchain to bring identity and trust into the next era of gaming,” said John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games. “This integration will help ensure that user accounts are verified as real people, adding a new layer of protection and reliability.”

The move reflects a broader industry push to blend digital identity with blockchain-based entertainment, addressing long-standing issues of fraud, bot accounts, and user authenticity in online gaming. By adding verified identity to gameplay, Mythical aims to strengthen user trust while preparing its ecosystem for the next generation of Web3 adoption.

The new funding round also introduces Eightco Holdings, a former Nasdaq-listed company that has recently pivoted toward the digital asset space. Eightco has become known for bold moves in crypto, including a $270 million acquisition of tokens such as Worldcoin’s WLD, a decision that drove its stock value up by 3,000% earlier this year.

The company is currently developing a blockchain-based trust and authentication layer designed for use across consumer, enterprise, and gaming applications. Eightco’s participation adds momentum to Mythical’s strategy of combining gaming, blockchain, and digital identity into one scalable framework.
