GOB is also developing a land battler game in addition to Trading Card Game.
On the $2.46 million funding round and P2E boom, the company’s co-founder Mark said the followings:
“The company noticed an increasing focus on the play-to-earn feature due to the current boom in play to earn (P2E) games. That P2E feature is undoubtedly a component of our environment, however, we feel to focus currently on making the game entertaining on priority”
The GOB Community manager Matthew explained, “Since P2E gaming world has a high entry barrier, GOB wants to onboard users in a free-to-play manner, welcoming web2 natives to web3 without the need for an initial wallet. They can choose to scale their reward rates at their own pace, through NFT ownership”.
