The company previously raised $20.3 million over three rounds, including most recently its 2021 Series B featuring web3 gaming giant Animoca Brands. The new capital will apparently be used for hiring and developing more titles including VR games. Thirdverse is currently working on its first blockchain game. Earlier this month, the company announced a partnership with Polygon and will launch Captain Tsubasa Rivals on the chain by the end of this year, 2022.

While the name Captain Tsubasa will mean little to those with no interest in manga or football, over 80 million copies of the manga have been sold worldwide since it was launched in 1981. The upcoming blockchain game will allow players to train an NFT avatar and take part in PvP battles.

PuffGo is described as a 3D competitive casual game developed on the Unity engine. The on-chain multiplayer game allows players to choose different gameplay modes and participate in various game levels using “Puff” characters. The main characters have their own story and customized skills that play a key role in their strength. Players can participate in Casual Mode, Story Mode, Knock-Out mode, and Team mode to increase ranking and rewards. 

PuffGo Alpha was recently launched on Android, which included web2 features only. The web3 attributes will be added later to the official version of the game in 2023.
