Co-founded by Decentraland and Zynga alumni, Thor Alexander, Big Time Studios recently raised $21 million in two funding rounds. Investors who participated in the initial $10.3 million round include FBG Capital, North Island Ventures, Digital Currency Group, OKEx Blockdream Ventures, Alameda Research, Circle Financial, and Ashton Kutcher’s Sound Ventures. The second round closed an $11 million fund that will apparently be used to invest in game companies adopting its technology.
Big time is described as a co-op action RPG played from a third-person perspective built on Ethereum. In Big Time, players travel through “space and time to defend history itself and battle against a mysterious force that is tearing apart the walls of history and time”.
