Key Takeaways

  • Soccerverse, the innovative blockchain-based football management game, has raised $3.1 million in funding round led by Square Enix, with participation from existing investor Hiro Capital.
  • This funding brings Soccerverse’s total funding to $4 million.
  • The investment will be used to optimize the game’s launch and accelerate its growth.

Soccerverse has closed a strategic funding round of $3.1 million (£2.5 million), led by the renowned game publisher Square Enix. This latest infusion of capital, bolstered by ongoing support from existing investor Hiro Capital, elevates Soccerverse’s total funding to $4 million.

Soccerverse, co-founded by ex-Soccer Manager CEO Andrew Gore alongside blockchain gaming trailblazers Andrew Colosimo and Daniel Kraft, aims to create a player-owned and player-led economy, setting it apart from traditional gaming models.

Currently in open beta on the Polygon blockchain, Soccerverse offers a unique blend of a browser-based, free-to-play football management simulator and trading game. Players can not only build and manage their teams but also demonstrate their football acumen by trading player influence within the game’s vibrant community.

The newly secured funds are earmarked for optimizing the game ahead of its scheduled Q4 2024 launch and accelerating its growth trajectory post-launch.

Soccerverse CEO Andy Gore stated, “We are thrilled to partner with a global gaming company of Square Enix’s reputation as we drive innovation and excellence in our game. This investment will allow us to attain new levels of quality and to reach a global audience.”

On behalf of Square Enix, Hideaki Uehara, General Manager of Investment & Business Development, remarked, “Soccerverse stands out as the most innovative and unique game using blockchain features in the genre. We’re eager to continue our journey with it, now from the perspective of investors as well as fans.”

Hiro Capital General Partner, Sir Ian Livingstone, reflected on his own experience with football management games. “I dare not think about how many hours I’ve spent playing football management games over the years. I’d lapsed, but Soccerverse will inspire me to play again. The social layer and the investing in players dynamic are compelling new features. I’m looking forward to seeing Manchester City reach new heights!”

Soccerverse plans to launch its first game, which is currently in the final stages of development, later in 2024.
