Digital Insight Games has raised $7.5 million to make original blockchain games. It is being led by Jon Van Caneghem, the creator of Might & Magic and the Heroes of Might & Magic.

Hivemind Capital and Griffin Gaming Partners led the investment in the Los Angeles company, which was cofounded by former Tencent exec Jack Sheng. Sheng and Van Caneghem are serving as co-CEOs.

They aren’t saying what they’re making yet, but Van Caneghem said that they hope to be a pioneer of web 3 and blockchain technology used in fun and original games.
