Based in Lisbon, Portugal, Volt Games is a mobile game development studio established in January 2020 by co-founders Pedro Cabaço (CEO), Gonçalo Banha (COO), João Albuquerque (CTO), and Pedro Dinis. The company initially focused on hypercasual mobile games, launching six titles including 'Perfect Fighter' and 'Football Clash - Mobile Soccer', and has since transitioned its strategic focus to the blockchain and web3 gaming sector. This strategic pivot was significantly bolstered in March 2022 by a $1.5 million seed funding round. The round was led by hypercasual gaming publisher Voodoo, with participation from Shilling, Aream & Co, and several angel investors.
Volt Games is channeling its resources into developing 'MetaStar Strikers', an arcade-style football game that introduces a 'Score & Own' model. This model allows players to compete in real-time online multiplayer matches to earn and own in-game assets in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). The game is built on the Polygon network and incorporates two primary gameplay loops: a Free-to-Play mode to facilitate user onboarding and a 'Score & Own' loop, unlocked by purchasing a 'Striker' or 'Stadium' NFT, which provides access to ranked matches and the ability to earn cryptocurrency. The core gameplay is a 3v3 match where players control their 'Strikers', each possessing stats like Pace, Shooting, Passing, and Stamina that can be upgraded through gameplay.
The business model combines free-to-play accessibility with revenue generation from the sale of NFT assets, such as unique 'Strikers' and customizable 'Stadiums'. Ownership of these NFTs provides players with tangible benefits, such as faster character progression and access to exclusive game modes. Volt Games' long-term vision extends beyond a single game; it aims to create the 'MetaStar' brand, a fully interoperable sports metaverse. This ambitious project plans to include other sports like basketball, tennis, and golf, where NFTs and the native currency would be usable across all titles, thereby increasing their utility and value.
