Nerdystar is a newly-formed affiliate of traditional games operator LINE Games. They just announced a $5.8 million seed round led by Blocore with participation from BITKRAFT Ventures, LINE Games, FTX Ventures, GuildFi, Formless Capital, VistaLabs, Seum, and SBXG.
Nerdystar develops and publishes web3 games on LUXON, its blockchain game platform. This round follows an initial investment of $5 million from LINE Games, bringing the total funding to $10.8 million. The investment will be used to continue to build the LUXON web platform and focus on game development, with the first game scheduled to launch later this year.
Luxon’s first game, Desperado B218: The Scars of Exos, is a turn-based battle role-playing game in which players control a squad of five characters. Desperado B218: The Scars of Exos will apparently have a distinct fantasy look and heavy anime inspiration. It will consist of NFT-centric gameplay where players can acquire assets either from the publisher or from the marketplace in order to take different roles in the game. With $LXN tokens users can purchase or trade NFT game items that are generated by the user’s game activities.
