Planetarium Labs has announced that its flagship title Immortal Rising 2, developed by Busy Beans Studio, has successfully raised $3 million in funding from leading investors, reinforcing its position as a next-generation blockchain gaming powerhouse. This funding milestone coincides with the conclusion of a highly successful Immortal Statue NFT sale, further accelerating momentum and setting the stage for the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) slated for March 27.
The funding round saw participation from prominent Web3 investors, including Spartan Group, Immutable, MARBLEX, Comma3 Ventures, Sovrun, 32-Bit Ventures, Notch Ventures, Cristian Manea, Niels de Ruiter, and other notable angel investors. This investment will be instrumental in expanding the Immortal Rising 2 ecosystem, enhancing gameplay mechanics, and deepening community engagement.

The Immortal Statue NFT sale, which concluded ahead of the TGE, saw overwhelming demand, with collectors and players securing limited-edition NFTs that provide exclusive in-game benefits, token airdrops, and prestige within the Immortal Rising 2 ecosystem. This follows the game’s Play-to-Airdrop (P2A) launchpool, where over 9 million SoulBound Tokens (SBTs) were claimed through daily missions, underscoring the community’s enthusiasm and engagement.

With the successful funding round and NFT sale complete, Immortal Rising 2 is gearing up for its highly anticipated TGE, which will unlock new opportunities for players and investors to participate in Immortal Rising 2’s evolving economy and governance, sharing the future of decentralized gaming.
