Sky Mavis, the inventor of Ronin, the fastest-growing and largest gaming blockchain, announced the first seven hand-selected studios admitted to Ronin Forge, a premier onboarding program for leading Web3 studios, including Cambria, Infomon, Kuroro Beasts, Last Odyssey, Party Icons, Pixel Heroes Adventure, and Xtremeverse. This initiative aims to foster innovation and build network effects amongst Web3 game developers by providing select studios with $50,000 grants, strong technology infrastructure, and easier access to build on Ronin to tap into the most active Web3 gaming community.
The selected studios represent a diverse range of genres and regions, including Cambria, a risk-based MMORPG on Blast; Infomon, the first SocialFi game (similar to Pokémon Go and built on X), based in the United Kingdom and migrating from Base; Kuroro Beasts, an expansive and growing ecosystem of creature collecting games currently including: Kuroro Ranch, Kuroro Beast Brawl, and Kuroro Wilds that will migrate from Arbitrum; Last Odyssey, the first conquer-to-earn 5x strategy game based in Hong Kong; Party Icons, which delivers a fast-paced, mobile party game experience that blends battle royale, strategy, extraction shooter, and social elements; Pixel Heroes Adventure, a mobile MMORPG from South Korea that will migrate from Immutable; and Xtremeverse, an anime gaming universe by Glip. Their first title BTX Battle Xtreme is a mobile battle royale extraction shooter, currently #1 web3 game in India and on Ethereum/Polygon.
Ronin Forge has launched with an elite cohort of seven handpicked game studios, chosen from a highly competitive global selection process with over 151 applicants. The best-performing teams will have the opportunity for deeper support from Sky Mavis’s publishing arm, joining the ranks of top games like Pixels, the number one Web3 game, and iconic Web2 IP, Ragnarok: Monster World. As a Ronin Forge studio partner, teams will receive white-glove advisory support from Sky Mavis and up to $500,000 USD in additional funding.
