“We couldn’t be more passionate about building out a true web3 ecosystem of exciting, unique gaming experiences, and we see that reflected in the work being created here,” Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu said in a statement. 

Revolving Games specializes in AAA games, or video games that have a higher budget and production value. Grand Theft Auto, Halo and Call of Duty are considered AAA game franchises. While blockchain gaming has seen an uptick in the past year following the meteoric rise of Axie Infinity, blockchain-based AAA games are not as common compared to its mobile- or web-based counterparts.
