Immortal Game raises $15.5M for its Web3 Chess Platform
Immortal Game is a company that aims to use Blockchain and NFTs to transform chess into a web3 game. The game's creators intend to modernize the game by capitalizing on the growing popularity of online chess.
Just recently, Immortal Game raised $15.5 million in two phases, the most recent of which is a $12 million funding. TCG Crypto is the lead investor in this Series A round, including Greenfield One, Cassius, Kraken Ventures, Spice Capital, Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman's 35V, Sparkle Ventures, and Blockwall.
The 2021 startup aims to build a chess-focused gaming portal with features like NFTs, additional "quests," and a reward system in addition to the traditional game. Anyone interested may join the beta version now.
Immortal Game's developers emphasized that the Play&Earn feature is optional for people who just want to play chess. Developers hope to incorporate blockchain into the game of chess without jeopardizing the game's integrity.
