Voya Games Secures $5M for Blockchain Crafting Game

Voya Games has successfully garnered $5 million in funding to propel the development of Craft World , a blockchain-powered, dinosaur-themed crafting game. This funding round concluded on May 21, 2025, with contributions from leading investors in Berlin.

The funding round reflects growing investor confidence in blockchain gaming and its potential to reshape the gaming industry landscape.

The $5 million investment will further the development of Craft World, a game created by Voya Games with a focus on Web3 gaming expansion. Led by 1kx and Makers Fund, this funding round also saw participation from RockawayX and several prominent angel investors. Voya Games, under the leadership of CEO Oliver Löffler, aims to create a game ecosystem with a token-based economy connecting multiple game titles. The founding team combines expertise from both traditional and blockchain gaming sectors.

“Our goal is to build a token ecosystem where games are connected through a shared player economy and culture.”

The infusion of funds is expected to significantly impact both the company’s growth trajectory and the broader gaming community. Craft World, being developed as a dinosaur-themed simulation game, has already attracted interest with over 240,000 registered players and 50,000+ monthly active users. The game’s integration of blockchain technology allows for NFT-based economies and enhances player engagement through secure digital asset ownership. This aligns with the Web3 gaming ethos of valuing user experience alongside innovative tokenomics.

The high player engagement and increasing on-chain activities within Craft World could lead to advantageous outcomes for Voya Games’ future endeavors. If successful, the project could follow the trend of Web3 companies gaining prominence in the gaming industry. Historically, companies like Sky Mavis and The Sandbox have set precedents that demonstrate the viability of projects that mix gaming with blockchain technology.
