Company mission
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. They are on a mission to recapture that freedom for the modern era with kickass collectibles and combat RPGs powered by Web3 technology.
Our take
Mobile gaming is still one of the most lucrative formats for the industry, and Azra Games’ niche of RPG-styled turn-based video games for smartphones has been infused with the next-gen capabilities of Web3.
With a track record of successful titles, Azra takes what has traditionally been a format that leans towards the Asian gaming market, and tailors it to Western audiences. Powered by Web3 and backed by crypto investor a16z, the company is ambitious in its aspirations to compete with console gaming and PCs. Including open world, real-time battles and extended campaigns, Azra is pushing for a paradigm shift in the mobile gaming market.
Investors are confident in its bold moves too, with just under $68 million raised in funding so far. With its 2024 round of capital, its planning a hiring a spree, as well as developing its AI capabilities to produce more titles.
