25th September 2026 | Sorare's optimism for 2027 Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

Sorare's new funding round, Animoca's Nasdaq listing pause and EVE Frontier Cycle 7.

[00:25] Animoca has called off its reverse Nasdaq listing via a merger with Currenc Group.
[02:00] Its situation is particularly complex as Animoca was previously listed in Australia.
[03:51] Animoca still plans to list on a major exchange at some point in the future.
[04:46] One key issue appears to be the time taken to audit Animoca's past accounts.
[05:24] Dealing with crypto within standard accountancy rules is always very complex.
[07:05] It was taking so long, it made little sense for either company to keep this deal in place.
[08:26] Animoca is now an AI and stablecoin company so this also changes its positioning.
[11:06] Sorare has raised another investment round - an undisclosed eight-figure sum.
[12:00] Sorare raised a lot of money in 2021, but most of it was spent getting sport licenses.
[13:21] Some of Sorare's original investors continue to have confidence in the company.
[13:49] Sorare's new Arcade has been successful, with +$15 million revenue projected for 2026.
[14:48] Sorare now expects to be profitable by the end of 2027.
[18:00] Prior to TGE, Cambria has hit $40 million of volume for its Genesis event.
[21:10] EVE Frontier is launching Cycle 7 on 29th September.
[22:15] The big change is full freedom controls for the space ships, requiring player skill.
[24:00] This is different to EVE Online's simple control method - spreadsheets in space!

[04:09] A new team attempted a reboot, launching various games but to little avail.
[07:50] There are currently two models for making blockchain games.
[08:05] MapleStory Universe and EVE Frontier are $100 million-scale projects.
[09:10] They are from experienced teams who know what they are building and for whom.
[14:52] When it comes to indie games, the examples are Cambria and Gigaverse.
[18:20]Cambria is moving from a seasonal approach to a persistent degen game.
[19:22] This transition will also see the launch of the RSGP token.
[22:20] Long-term success likely only comes with a focus on in-game status, not rewards.
[23:40] Gigaverse is less regen but also moving towards persistence with Gigaverse Online
[27:14] Also worth noting, MapleStory Universe and Axie both have AI hackathons ongoing.

[01:10] How Robby Yung sees the past 12 months in blockchain games.
[03:30] How adoption of AI changes game development and distribution.

[17:02] The Sandbox's AI tools are designed to give developers absolute control.
[20:30] With AI, game devs will be more creative and publish across multiple platforms.

[29:02] Why The Sandbox is running game jams prior to Studio's planned October launch.

[00:20] The Sandbox is rebooting functionality for its LAND NFTs.

[01:49] It's fixing this with its new Studio AI tools, which are in beta.
