MixMob is best known for combining play-to-earn capabilities with user-generated content. The plot surrounds players joining a creative resistance movement to defeat a universe in which artificial intelligence destroyed human culture.

Further commenting on the $7 million raise, Vieira said in the press release:

The play-to-earn sector is showing no signs of slowing down, and by offering something vastly different to what already exists in the space, we firmly believe MixMob will prove to be a hit with the creative community.

What’s next for MixMob?

MixMob sold out of its official resistance masks in December — a mutable NFT that doubles as a player’s identity within the metaverse, according to the press release. Players can also acquire pet NFTs that evolve according to a player’s activities, known as MixBots.

MixMob is working on its Phase II of its platform which will result in the expansion from its current strategy card racing game into a Fortnite-like universe. Development remains ongoing along with a roadmap for tokenomics and a novel concept for land ownership.
