Supercell, one of the world’s leading mobile gaming companies known for popular titles like Clash of Clans and Clash Royale, has recently made headlines with their latest investment. The company has joined forces with Games for a Living (GFAL), a crypto gaming startup, as part of a $3.2 million seed funding round.
GFAL, co-founded by Trip Hawkins, the original founder and CEO of Electronic Arts (EA), has caught Supercell’s attention with their innovative approach to gaming. As the chief strategy officer at GFAL, Hawkins brings in his vast experience and expertise to the table. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both companies, with Supercell’s CEO Ilkka Paananen expressing enthusiasm about the collaboration.
GFAL is focused on creating games that incorporate non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and crypto tokens. With the rise of blockchain technology, NFTs have gained popularity in the gaming industry for their ability to provide unique and scarce digital assets. This innovative approach allows players to truly own their in-game items, making for a more immersive and rewarding gaming experience.
