Midnight announces $7.5 million raised in seed funding to build a studio and platform for web3 games. Midnight says its mission is to build games that users want to play but also offer economic value. To achieve this, it’s building a slate of free-to-play and premium games for diverse audiences, with a web3-based “forging” system that creates true interoperability and a robust economy.
Steve Wade is a co-founder and currently the CEO of Midnight. The company was founded in late 2021. Bill Roper is the Chief Creative Officer at Midnight. Its executive team includes acting Chief Product Officer Chris Heatherly.
Games already in development at Midnight include:
– Legion: a 4X MMO
– Next Protectors: a 2D pixel brawler
– At Your Service: a couch co-op title
The company is also apparently planning to build a slate of first and third-party games across platforms and genres for diverse audiences. Midnight’s focus will apparently be on PC and console games at first, but hints that mobile might come at a later date.
