Blockchain Gaming Sector Sees Decrease in Venture Capital Deals: Caution Among Investors
As the blockchain gaming sector navigates through a challenging start to the year, developers are finding a balance between caution and optimism. With a significant drop in venture capital deals totaling $288 million, investors are approaching the industry with careful consideration.
According to DappRadar, the focus of investments in Q1 has been primarily on web3 games and infrastructure, indicating a period of foundational building within the web3 gaming ecosystem. Blockchain analyst Sara Gherghelas highlighted that only two standout deals shaped the investment landscape during this period, with Parallel Studios securing $35 million and Gunzilla Games raising $30 million for their upcoming projects.
Parallel Studios aims to expand its presence across various platforms, with the Epic Games Store gaming marketplace as a key milestone for expansion. On the other hand, Gunzilla Games is working on Off the Grid, a free-to-play battle royale game set to launch on multiple gaming platforms.
Despite the cautious approach from investors, the influx of investments into new game development and technological advancements signals hope for the future of the blockchain gaming sector. Gherghelas noted that there is a lot of optimism for what’s to come in the industry.
