Bright Star Studio attracts new investors for upcoming Ethereum play-to-earn game Ember Sword after in-game land sale


Ember Sword, the Ethereum play-to-earn game from Bright Star Studio, has recently raised new funding. Rob former world of warcraft lead designer Pardo and veteran Esports pro-Thresh are among those providing advice on the Ethereum play-to-earn game.
As part of this deal,
Bitkraft Ventures will lead the investment deal. Twenty new investors have
joined, including key executives in the gaming industry.
In July, Ember Sword sold
more than $200 million worth of metaverse land. This is a big step forward for
virtual land sales after Facebook initiated its metaverse push.
Before the recent surge in
metaverse demand, Ember Sword’s large land sale occurred, with more than 35,000
players collectively spending over $203 million to purchase NFT land.
According to Bright Star
Studio CEO Mark Laursen, Pardo will help Ember Sword with play-to-earn game
development and recruitment.
“He really liked where
Ember Sword was going and the potential for this, and what we can do for moving
the gaming industry forward,” said Laursen.
Players will be able to
access the rich MMORPG world and economy as quickly as possible through the client
and browser, guaranteeing a seamless experience.
The upcoming Ethereum-based
fantasy game now has advisers, backers, and funding at its disposal, and its
developers are working to deliver a playable experience.
The funds will enable
Bright Star Studios to create a high-quality and immersive player-first gaming
experience powered by a blockchain-based play-to-earn economy.
Aside from Bitkraft,
investors include Rob Pardo, World of Warcraft's lead designer and former CCO
of Blizzard, YouTuber Dr. DisRespect, Ryan Wyatt, head of YouTube Gaming, Kevin
Lin, co-founder of Twitch, John Robinson, President and COO at 100 Thieves,
Carlos Rodriguez, CEO of G2 Esports, Night Ventures, Sebastian Borget,
co-founder of the Sandbox, Dennis "Thresh" Fong, former pro gamer and
co-founder of Xfire.
