Rumble Kong League, a new web3 sports game, raises $4.5M in funding

Rumble League Studios announced today it’s raised $4.5 million in a round of funding for Rumble Kong League, its first web3 sports title.

Rumble Kong League will be a play-to-earn 3v3 basketball game. Players will be able to compete in leagues and tournaments, as well as purchase branded fashion, wearables, banners, and stadiums. They might even be able to buy players patterned after real people. Rumble League has built the game with NFTs in mind, and the first drop will be Rumble Kongs. These are a set of 10,000 NFTs, each unique, that can be used as playable avatars in-game. The Kongs will also provide gameplay benefits.
