Pixelmon shuts down gaming division after failed publisher test

  • The publisher test lasted 3 weeks and did not yield sufficient results for a long-term offer
  • The gaming team received notices and severance; the games will be shut down
  • In 2024, Pixelmon raised $8 million from Animoca Brands, Delphi Ventures and others
  • Refunds are impossible due to obligations to shareholders; remaining funds will go toward finding a new model
Why it matters: The closure of Pixelmon's gaming division signals difficulties in monetizing NFT games and could increase pressure on the GameFi sector.
