Immortal Rising 2, the blockchain-powered RPG developed by Busy Beans Studio and backed by Planetarium Labs, successfully raises $3M in funding

Planetarium Labs is a community-focused Web3 gaming company that creates highly moddable blockchain-powered gaming experiences that feature immersive gameplay in player-driven economies.

Immortal Rising 2, the highly anticipated blockchain-powered RPG developed by Busy Beans Studio and backed by Planetarium Labs, has successfully raised $3 million in funding from some of the most influential investors in the Web3 and blockchain gaming spaces.

This is one of two major concurrent developments, with the other being the completion of a sold-out Immortal Statue NFT sale just days before Immortal Rising 2’s Token Generation Event (TGE), which started on March 27.

Planetarium Labs is a community-focused Web3 gaming company that creates highly moddable blockchain-powered gaming experiences that feature immersive gameplay in player-driven economies. It is at the forefront of the decentralized gaming revolution and is continually innovating to redefine what is possible within the Web3 gaming ecosystem.

The latest $3 million raise was driven by participation from some of the best-known players and investment firms in the Web3 blockchain gaming space, including the Spartan Group, Immutable, MARBLEX, Comma3 Ventures, Sovrun, 32-Bit Ventures, Notch Ventures, Cristian Manea, Niels de Ruiter, and other prominent angel investors.

With this fresh capital injection, the development team will be able to continue expanding the Immortal Rising 2 ecosystem while simultaneously enhancing gameplay mechanics and strengthening community engagement. These activities will help further solidify the studio’s position as a leader in – and the global face of – next-generation blockchain gaming.

A Vision for the Future of Web3 Gaming

The backing from these key investors highlights the industry’s confidence in Immortal Rising 2’s unique Play-to-Airdrop (P2A) model, which merges true digital ownership with engaging gameplay.

Reflecting on the game’s success and potential for the future, Robbie Ferguson, the Co-Founder and President of Immutable, had this to say: “With nearly nine million downloads and a clear product-market fit, Immortal Rising 2 is already a hit. The game also sits at the intersection of three major trends—Asia’s booming gaming market, the dominance of mobile gaming, and the seamless integration of Web3 mechanics. We are excited to help bring this game to an even larger global audience with Immutable zkEVM’s scaling solutions and Immutable Play, our game distribution platform.”

Other investors also shared their perspectives on what makes Immortal Rising 2 so special.

Kelvin Koh, a Co-founder & Partner at the Spartan Group, added: “We see this project as a real milestone in decentralized gaming. Immortal Rising 2 is setting a new standard by offering players true ownership and provides meaningful contributions to the community with a tokenized reward system. Planetarium Labs is at the forefront of this shift, and we are fully committed to supporting them in order to continue driving innovation in the Web3 blockchain gaming space.”

Finally, Jin-pyo Hong, the CEO of MARBLEX, highlighted the converging paths of Web2 and Web3 gaming, stating: “Immortal Rising 2 is bridging traditional and blockchain gaming in a way that makes sense for both gamers and investors. We are excited to partner with Planetarium Labs in this journey and to fully support the future of Immortal Rising 2.”

Sold-Out NFT Sale Sets the Stage for TGE

Alongside the successful funding round, Immortal Rising 2’s Immortal Statue NFT sale has now sold out, showcasing strong interest from both players and collectors.

These exclusive NFTs grant the top-tier collectors premium in-game rewards, token airdrops, and elevated status within the Immortal Rising 2 ecosystem. The NFT sale follows the game’s P2A launchpool, where the community has already claimed over 9 million SoulBound Tokens (SBTs). SBTs are digital assets tied exclusively to players’ achievements and provide an additional layer of engagement. These SBTs unlock hidden rewards at the campaign’s conclusion.

With both the funding and NFT sale secured, all eyes are now on Immortal Rising 2’s TGE that officially unlocks new opportunities for players and investors. This marks a crucial milestone in the game’s expanding economy and governance model, setting the foundation for a fully decentralized gaming future.
