Overwolf, the all-in-one platform that enables creators to build, distribute and monetize in-game apps and mods, today announced an investment in SYN CITY, the first “Mafia metaverse” game designed for the blockchain. As part of the deal, Overwolf and SYN CITY will explore new User Generated Content (UGC) opportunities in the Metaverse, including creating, sharing, and monetizing in-game items.

Overwolf joins a growing list of investors who see merit in SYN CITY’s mafia metaverse.

The project has raised more than $ 8 million in investments from Twitch, Project Galaxy, Animoca Brands, Huobi Ventures and many leading investors and venture capitalists.

In addition to the investment, SYN CITY is exploring integration with the Overwolf platform to enable game creators to monetize their creations in the future. Community-created experiences are becoming an essential part of the game, and SYN CITY believes this will be more important than ever in the P2E ecosystem where players already have some ownership in the game.

Roy Liu, co-founder of Syn City, commented:

“Successful social platforms and metaverse projects need to empower creators to generate content for their friends, clients, and other ecosystem participants. As a result, the metaverse game continues to grow and evolve, with a heavy emphasis on social media. As a result, the producers and creators of NFT and user-generated content can forge their own experiences for the whole community to benefit. We’re excited to explore what UGC could look like in-game with Overwolf, the creators of the main UGC-as-a-service platform.

Shahar Sorek, Marketing Director of Overwolf, said:

“Overwolf believes the future of games lies in User Generated Content (UGC) and part of that future is enabling creators to build services with and around NFTs. We are delighted to invest in such an experienced team of game developers. SYN CITY’s commitment to UGC both in-game and on-chain by introducing a unique in-game governance feature called Mafia-as-a-DAO (MaaD) is a very exciting development in the P2E space.
