Franklin Bi of Pantera Capital, a life-long aficionado of RPGs, shares his thoughts on why he chose to invest in Azra Games.
About us
Azra Games believes that the childhood experience of bashing, smashing, and storytelling with your favorite toys in unhinged and imaginative play is the purest form of gaming. We are on a mission to recapture that freedom for the modern era with kickass collectibles and combat RPGs powered by Web3 technology. LFG! We are both gamers and crypto natives. Founded by virtuoso game designer Mark Otero, best known for Electronic Arts’ top grossing Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, serial-preneur Sonny Mayugba (COO) and crypto degen Travis Boudreaux (CTO), Azra Games is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and NFX. Mark Otero is joined by an insanely stacked dev team. Game credits include franchises such as Star Wars, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Marvel, Battlefield, Assassin’s Creed and more. That said, we build to our strengths. Our first game, LEGIONS & LEGENDS, will be Mark’s ninth collectibles and combat RPG.
