Summary

  • M10, a web3 gaming start-up, has secured $3m in seed-round financing to develop its inaugural, yet-to-be-announced title.
  • The team has extensive experience in the gaming industry, having worked on titles such as Assassin’s Creed and Ghost Recon, and the capital will be used to develop a new model beyond traditional free-to-play gaming.
  • CEO Maitham Mohamed, who founded the company with former colleagues at Ubisoft and Trion Worlds, aims to create a new model of the popular free-to-play (F2P) gaming model, which he hopes will scale the category further.
  • The new model aims to solve some of the problems with existing F2P models, which are often criticised for their aggressive monetisation through in-game purchases.
  • M10 aims to package this new model in a fresh take on competitive multiplayer shooter games.
  • The company has partnered with the Sui Foundation, a blockchain platform designed to make digital asset ownership secure and accessible to all, to help achieve its goals.
