Companies Join Forces to Build the Future of
Branded Web3 Crossover Experiences Between Gaming and Metaverse
Immersion
Infinite Assets, Inc. (“InfiniteWorld”), a Web3 and Metaverse
infrastructure company that enables brands and creators to create,
monetize, and drive consumer engagement with digital content, today
announced its strategic acquisition of Super Bit Machine, an
independent gaming studio and Armajet developer, founded by
industry veterans with experience running massive multiplayer “Top
10” grossing games on iOS and Android, including Bingo Blitz by
Buffalo Studios. This acquisition will further bolster
InfiniteWorld's ability to bring best-in-class Web3 and Metaverse
experiences to brands and creators, with the addition of real-time
multiplayer game development capabilities, which will now be part
of its core offerings portfolio. This acquisition also signals the
continued crossover between blockchain and gaming platforms and
connects traditional gamer experiences that are currently delivered
through mobile devices, PCs, and consoles with dynamic Web3
functionality.
“The true gateway to the Metaverse is through gaming and we’re
thrilled to have acquired a proven leader in that space that
understands and values the traditional gamer experience,” said Brad
Allen, CEO of InfiniteWorld. “By partnering with veteran game
developers who’ve made significant strides in their industry, we’re
taking a natural step towards becoming the go-to for brands and
creators looking to enter the Web3 space. We look forward to
continuing to push the limits of what is possible by amplifying the
expertise and vision of our new Super Bit Machine team
members.”
“We believe gaming is central to scaling mass adoption of Web3,”
said Alexander Krivicich, founder of Super Bit Machine. “We’ve been
at the forefront of creating cross-platform, cross-play competitive
gaming experiences, and we understand that the future of these
interactions will take place in the Metaverse. InfiniteWorld
continues to solidify itself as a leader in Metaverse technologies
by integrating gaming as a core pillar of its strategy for brands
and creators. By combining our work with InfiniteWorld’s Web3
capabilities and Metaverse infrastructure expertise, we can show
the world what a Web3-enabled gaming platform should look like,
while building the proper infrastructure to connect third parties
to the platform. We’re excited to take these Metaverse gaming
experiences to the next level and show brands how to enter Web3 the
right way. We’re firm believers that new technologies can never
replace creating a well-designed and thoughtful experience that
will resonate with players.”
Founded in 2015, Super Bit Machine was one of the first to bring
fast-paced, multiplayer competitive experiences to the mobile
gaming ecosystem. InfiniteWorld’s acquisition of Super Bit Machine
lays the foundation for high-quality Web3 and Metaverse experiences
where traditional gamers and the masses can connect together
seamlessly on any platform without the need for robust hardware.
This strategic acquisition represents the next step forward in
InfiniteWorld’s mission to continue partnering with industry
leaders that can help their team create powerful experiences in the
Metaverse.
