One of the leading mobile game publishers, Voodoo is getting ready to enter the blockchain game industry. According to the company’s statement, Voodoo’s vision is to bring the blockchain paradigm to more casual and mobile users and help any young or promising studio reach success in this segment.
Voodoo will invest $200 million in promising early-stage studios and create 20 new internal studios to work on blockchain games in 2022. In addition, the company will bring its full-stack platform and know-how to empower blockchain-gaming studios.
Alex Yazdi, CEO of Voodoo said:
“There are few occasions in life when we experience a technological breakthrough that transforms industries. Blockchain will especially disrupt gaming, as players are already used to buying digital assets. This technology will give players true ownership of their digital assets, creating deeper interactions between players – collecting, trading, selling in-game digital currencies and game assets – which will increase fun and engagement. This will also enable players to make a profit from their assets, opening up a new ‘play-to-earn’ model. Our vision is to bring the blockchain paradigm to more casual and mobile users and to help any young or promising studio reach success in this segment.”
Voodoo already has 10 internal and external studios working on blockchain gaming. The company aims to create 20 new internal studios next year focusing exclusively on blockchain mobile games.
