London-based gaming firm Cauldron just announced the successful close of a $6.6 million seed round. The funding round was led by Cherry Ventures with participation from Cassius, Seedcamp and Playfair. They also just closed a $1.4 million pre-seed round in the last six months.
Cauldron plans to release three different gaming worlds to the public: Two worlds have a fantasy angle, while one world is focused on science fiction. Its first web3 gaming world, Project Nightshade, will supposedly be arriving in the Fall of 2022.
Mark Warrick is the founder and CEO of the company. The gaming studio was a spinoff founded in August 2021 by Warrick and two other creative veterans, Fox Rogers and Matt Hyde. The company has since hired science fiction and fantasy-focused authors to help build out its storytelling focus.
