Web3 gaming company staffed by industry veterans unveils very first project

An independent Web3 gaming company led by industry veterans will launch their first game next year — and they're bullish on the benefits that blockchain will bring.

Digital Insight Games says its debut title will be known as Cloud Castles. It's scheduled to be released in 2023 — and promises to blend beloved elements from role-playing games with cutting-edge real-time strategy and tactics.

In lush battlegrounds rendered in stunning detail using the latest technology, including Unreal Engine 5, Cloud Castles will give gamers the chance to collect and evolve fantasy creatures, and deploy them in fast-paced battles.

Of course, a key tenet of Web3 is the ownership of in-game assets — and for this reason, blockchain technology will be used so players have full control of everything they acquire, collect, modify, build and achieve.

The team at Digital Insight Games have an extensive background in the world of gaming — and many employees previously worked at top companies including Tencent, Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard.

Based in California, Digital Insight Games raised $7.5 million in Series A funding and came out of stealth in April as part of its quest to establish next generation in-game digital economies that harness blockchain, nonfungible tokens and the metaverse.
