Crypto veteran-staffed Web3 gaming firm Digital Insight Games reportedly disclosed details of its debut game – Cloud Castles, scheduled to be released in 2023. 

Specifically, this is the pioneering project for Digital Insights Games and vows to blend beloved elements from role-playing games with cutting-edge real-time strategy and tactics.

A key tenet of Web3 is the ownership of in-game assets – hence blockchain technology will be utilized to offer players the freedom of full control of everything they acquire, collect, modify, build and achieve.

The team at Digital Insight Games reportedly possess an extensive background in the world of gaming – with numerous staff used to be employees at top firms including Tencent, Electronic Arts, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft and Activision Blizzard.

Co-founders and co-CEOs Jon Van Caneghem and Jack Sheng were both previously at Tencent. While JVC was the head of research and development studios in North America for the tech heavyweight, Sheng led global partnerships and investments.

“The transition to digital asset ownership and blockchain gaming is so exciting. It’s a similar kind of transformation when we went from regular games to free to play.” Jon Van Caneghem additionally remarked. 

“Back then, the industry was completely against it, where people said you’re going to ruin the industry. And now it turns out that because of free to play we have 10 times the number of players and all sorts of new giant, fantastic companies and new games to play.”

The California-headquartered Digital Insight Games reportedly reeled in $7.5 million via Series A fundraising and emerged to the main stage in April as part of its mission to establish next generation in-game digital economies that harness blockchain, nonfungible tokens and the metaverse.

Looking ahead, Digital Insight Games says it finds itself in a powerful position: Not only has the business been founded by industry veterans who know how to bring memorable games to market, but they’re not afraid to embrace the very latest technology.
