Back in July, Hexacore raised $3.5 million to propel the high-quality Web3 mobile games that have potential to scale to big audiences such as the upcoming space fantasy Pocket Space.
Now the Dubai-based startup is getting to work developing its flagship Web3 mobile game. The funding round was led by Scalo Technologies, a tech venture company based in Dubai, and supported by Xsolla, Estoty, and other angel investors.
“Pocket Space is an ambitious project inspired by various titles like My Little Universe, Brawl Stars,” said Mikita Khazau, CEO of Hexacore, in an interview with GamesBeat. “The game features a universe of planets, each hosting a variety of game modes.

Hexacore sees mobile Web3 games becoming the gateway for new Web3 users, driven by the
growing adoption of crypto wallets on smartphones, attracting investors and fostering innovation in
gaming worldwide.
