Farcana, a futuristic team-based hero shooter game, achieves a significant financial milestone with a $10 million seed funding round. This infusion of funds from notable firms like Animoca Brands, Polygon Ventures, and others accelerates the game’s development, leading up to its beta launch.
Amidst the early stages of development, Farcana garnered substantial backing from esteemed firms such as Fenbushi Capital, Merit Circle, and more. This funding boosts the game’s creation of a third-person multiplayer shooter experience, propelling it further into its development phase.
Clarence Zhou from Fenbushi Capital shares optimism about Farcana, emphasizing its potential to become a groundbreaking blockchain-based game, driving new users into the Web3 ecosystem.
