Mystic Moose raises $5M to build game metaverse Planet Mojo

Mystic Moose, a newly minted indie studio, today announced it’d raised $5 million towards its latest project, a gaming metaverse called Planet Mojo. The round of funding was led by Animoca Brands, with participation from Courtside Ventures, Republic Crypto, Polygon Studios, and Sky Vision Capital, among others.

Planet Mojo is a browser-based gaming platform, or “metaverse” as Mystic Moose refers to it. Planet Mojo’s signature game, at the moment, is an auto-chess game in which players can buy their teams as NFTs. The NFTs in question are called “Mojos,” and they are small plant creatures native to the titular planet. The platform will also feature other lore and characters to be revealed at a later date.
