Shardbound dev Bazooka Tango raises $5M for Web3 tactics game
Bazooka Tango, the developers behind the upcoming Web3 collectible tactics game Shardbound, has raised $5 million.
Bo Daly and Stephan Sherman cofounded Bazooka Tango in March 2019. Previously, the duo was part of the founding team at Super Evil Mega Corp, which created the mobile-first MOBA Vainglory. Bazooka Tango aims to merge Shardbound’s collectible tactics gameplay with web3 technology to deliver ownership to players. Immutable Games is lending its Web3 expertise to Shardbound as a strategic partner to co-develop and co-publish the game.
“We are honored and humbled by the recognition Shardbound is receiving from gamers and investors alike,” said Daly, cofounder and CEO at Bazooka Tango. “We have already received overwhelming support with our latest Alpha playtest maxing out at our 1,000 player cap. We believe that web3 has the potential to unleash some really cool ideas and we’re excited to see so much enthusiasm from our community as we continue on this journey together.”

Notably, Shardbound was not a Web3 game initially. The title was originally funded via a Kickstarter and released in early access in 2017. While Shardbound never launched as a complete product, Bazooka Tango hopes to breathe new life into the title.
