About Runesoul

Runesoul is a developer of a 3D card-based action role-playing game (ARPG) that integrates Web3 technology, founded in 2024 and headquartered in New York. The game is designed to merge real-time strategy with an immersive narrative, targeting both traditional gamers and the blockchain community. Players collect and upgrade NFT heroes with unique abilities, engaging in various gameplay modes such as Player vs. Environment (PvE) and Player vs. Player (PvP) battles. The platform incorporates GameFi and SocialFi elements, enabling players to have true ownership of their in-game assets and trade them on an NFT marketplace.

The business model revolves around a play-to-earn system and a deflationary economic model intended to maintain a stable supply-demand balance within its ecosystem. Revenue is generated as players interact with the game's economy, which includes trading assets and participating in its on-chain systems. The game features a multi-hero battle mode and a variety of gameplay stages, such as the Blue, Purple, and Golden Stages, each offering different challenges and rewards. A key component of its ecosystem is the Runesoul Genesis Pass NFT, which grants holders exclusive rights and access to token airdrops.

Runesoul has secured significant funding to support its development and global expansion. An initial $1 million angel and seed round was completed in November 2024. This was followed by a $4 million strategic financing round in September 2025, led by Bitgo Capital with participation from existing investors AccelByte Fund and IGC Guild. This capital is aimed at enhancing the game's features, optimizing its underlying technology, and expanding its international user base, which had surpassed 30,000 user addresses shortly after its launch.
