BARCELONA, Spain, May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Elixir Games, a leading entity in the Web3 gaming
industry and backed by the industry giant Square Enix, is
excited to announce the acquisition of RoboKiden, an intellectual
property developed by renowned game studio Breach Studios, composed
of professionals from the teams behind the Assassin's Creed and
Rainbow Six Sagas, among others.
This strategic acquisition underscores the commitment of Elixir
Games to enhance its portfolio with premium gaming experiences with
key support from Ava Labs to

The acquisition and partnership follow the successful closure of a
$14 million seed funding round, with
notable contributions from the Solana Foundation,
NeoTokyo and CyberKongz.
"Our goal at Elixir has always been to bring engaging and
innovative IPs to our platform, which is why we're incredibly
excited to bring RoboKiden to our community," said Carlos Roldan, CEO of Elixir Games. "By
partnering with Ava Labs, leaders in
the development of Web3 tech specifically designed for gaming, we
can't wait for players to start diving into this vibrant arena
shooter."
RoboKiden is an upcoming free online third-person party shooter
for Windows, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Set in a whimsical
battle arena with colorful characters and surrounded by towering
robots, players will battle alongside friends in a team-based game
that combines chaotic fun with strategic gameplay, promising a
fresh and engaging experience for gamers of all types.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Elixir Games is also
revealing a strategic partnership with Ava
Labs. This collaboration aims to leverage Avalanche's highly
scalable and secure infrastructure to provide a seamless,
low-latency gameplay and fortify digital ownership rights,
establishing RoboKiden as a flagship title within the evolving
Avalanche gaming ecosystem.
"It was very clear to our team that RoboKiden presented an
incredible opportunity to bring an exciting new IP to Web3
alongside Elixir, a premiere platform for blockchain games," said
Parker Heath, Senior gaming BD.
"Combining our expertise in Web3 infrastructure with Elixir's
platform and years of experience incubating new projects will
deliver an unparalleled gaming experience, empowering players with
true ownership of in-game assets and the potential for
player-driven economies. This collaboration marks an exciting new
chapter for both RoboKiden and the future of gaming."
RoboKiden is set for release in July this year and will be one
of the highlighted games of the Elixir Season Pass, which recently
launched its inaugural season with a prize pool of over
$1 million through the Elixir
Launcher. Elixir has already confirmed that future seasons will
