## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2018 by CEO David Johansson and Nicky Li, MetaKing Studios operate as a developer of blockchain games. In May 2022, MetaKing Studios raised USD 15 million in seed funding co-led by new investors Makers Fund and Bitkraft Ventures, along with other investors Delphi Digital, Animoca Brands Corporation Limited, Shima Capital, WW Ventures, Spartan Group, and Huobi Ventures. 

MetaKing Studios develops a blockchain game Blocklords that allows users to choose their characters such as humble farmers or powerful lords and ladies, and also provides the players with the ownership of their digital assets. The game allows players to trade, conquest, and manage resources, manage the economy, and create their own player-run governments. 

The company plans to use the funding for game development and a marketing campaign for the studio’s first game, Blocklords.
