Farcana Hero Shooter Game Raises $10M in Seed Funding

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.

Taking inspiration from popular games like Overwatch and Valorant, Farcana integrates blockchain elements into its gameplay, employing NFTs for all in-game items, including character skins, weapons, and more. Utilizing the $FAR token for in-game transactions signals a pioneering approach in merging gaming and blockchain technology.

Set in a futuristic world where humanity has settled on Mars and discovered a substance called Axelar, Farcana’s storyline revolves around competitive tournaments where players wield superpowers derived from Axelar for glory.

The Farcana team, guided by Carlos “Ocelote” Rodriguez, previously collaborated with Dubai’s Economy and Tourism department. They conducted a successful pre-alpha gameplay test at the Dubai Esports Festival in June 2023, showcasing the game’s potential and futuristic gaming experience.
