Roll1ng Thund3rz will be led by Zilliqa’s Head of Gaming Technology, Valentin Cobelea, who has spearheaded the establishment and development of Zilliqa’s gaming division over the past year. Cobelea will serve as co-founder and CTO at Roll1ng Thund3rz, while also continuing in his role with Zilliqa to develop the technical gaming capabilities of the company; the remainder of Zilliqa’s gaming division will transition to the new entity from today, which will commence operations immediately.

The new company will continue to work closely with Zilliqa’s core and technical teams to facilitate seamless integration with the Zilliqa blockchain, which underpins several of the vanguard capabilities set to feature in Roll1ng Thund3rz games, including the unique Skill2Earn system that rewards players for their in-game play, not how much they pay to participate.

Next month, on March 31, Roll1ng Thund3rz will release its first flagship title, Web3War – a free-to-play, cross-platform, first-person shooter. Currently in open beta, the game has attracted close to 7,000 players in its pre-release phase, as it has progressively rolled out new content and features to a growing user base ahead of its official launch.
