Neon Machine, the Seattle-based game studio behind upcoming first-person shooter Shrapnel, has raised $20 million in Series A funding, the company announced Wednesday.
Polychain Capital led the round, with Griffin Gaming Partners, Brevan Howard Digital, Franklin Templeton, IOSG Ventures, and Tess Ventures also participating.
The funds will be used to further develop Shrapnel at a “critical time,” according to a statement, as the game team prepares to ship an early-access version in December ahead of a full launch sometime in 2024. The Shrapnel team currently has over 70 employees, CEO Mark Long said in a statement.
The next wave of NFT-infused games promises to be a dramatic step up from the simplistic, DeFi-driven experiences that defined the initial play-to-earn gaming wave. Want proof? Just check out the games below. From Illuvium to Shrapnel and Otherside, these games look and feel just like the glossy AAA games that millions of “Web2” gamers love, but with ownable and tradable assets, tokenized economies, and new play mechanics. We’ve picked 12 of the most exciting-looking games on the horizon, includ...
“We had a collective dream to break the mold of the traditional game development cycle and design a blockbuster-quality shooter where players truly own and create game assets,” Long said.
Shrapnel is a sci-fi extraction shooter game where a substantial amount of in-game content—like weapon parts, weapons, and cosmetics—will be offered as NFTs on Shrapnel’s Avalanche subnet, which is a private crypto network built on Avalanche. Back in April, Shrapnel launched its own ERC-20 token, SHRAP, on its Avalanche network.
Marc Mercuri, Head of Platform for Web3 shooter Shrapnel, speaks with Decrypt's Kate Irwin at the 3XP expo about GameBridge, a feature that simplifies blockchain item composability and interoperability.
The free-to-play multiplayer game has plans for both solo and team-based gameplay. Shrapnel is also placing substantial emphasis on its user-generated content (UGC) potential and hopes to offer gamers the ability to generate their own game items using Shrapnel’s tech, which can then be minted as NFTs.
“It's exciting to witness the team at Shrapnel continue to propel forward towards gameplay while pushing the boundaries of player experience and ownership through blockchain technology,” said Polychain Capital Partner Josh Rosenthal in a statement.
“As a crypto-native fund, we're immensely excited about Shrapnel’s potential in leveraging blockchain to redefine the traditional extraction gameplay,” said IOSG Ventures Founding Partner Jocy Lin.
Neon Machine first started as part of HBO Interactive. Since then, the studio spun out on its own, raised $10.5 million in seed funding in 2021, released comic books, and launched a PFP NFT collection last year. The Shrapnel maker has now raised a total of $37.5 million from its seed funding, Series A, and private token sale rounds.
Two years after they were inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain, the highly anticipated Taproot Wizards Ordinals collection will go on sale on March 25, the project's creators announced Tuesday.

The collection will be sold in two distinct phases, the first of which will offer Wizard NFTs to those on an allowlist for 0.2 BTC, or $16,340 at today’s prices. An eligibility c...
Tech giant Sony is commemorating 25 years since the launch of Aibo, its companion robot dog, with an officially licensed soulbound NFT collection called "Entertainment Robot Aibo” on the Soneium blockchain. The collection, which cannot be traded or transferred thanks to its soulbound nature, can be minted for free on OpenSea’s NFT marketplace, with users required only to pay a small gas fee to initiate the transaction. In its official Discord community, Soneium’s team wrote that Aibo’s return a...
