The co-founder of the company Masaru Ohnogi notes that the funds raised will be used to hire new employees.
“The Thirdverse stands out in the fast-growing field of VR gaming. This would not have been possible without strong leadership, a cohesive team and a clear understanding of how to become a leader in this category in the market,” says investor Paul Bragiel.
Most of all, the Thirdverse is known for the Swords of Gargantua action game.
