WAGMI Games Announces New Executive Hires
WAGMI Games, a Web3 video games franchise, has recently added experienced talent from well-known gaming companies to its team. The new hires include Esteban Gil, formerly of Garena Free Fire, and Brent Pease, who held a senior role at Electronic Arts. WAGMI is excited to have these new team members who bring expertise from established games developers to help transform the industry with the unique advantages of Web3.
What is WAGMI?
WAGMI is a video games studio focused on Web3 gaming. In Web3 video games, players can own in-game assets represented by non-fungible tokens. WAGMI games offer unique incentives for players, such as in-game rewards and tokens that can be earned and traded.
WAGMI Defense and its Features
WAGMI’s flagship title is WAGMI Defense, a sci-fi themed tower defense game. Players strategically place troops and set traps to defend their tower from enemies. Winning rounds earns players an in-game resource called NiFe that can be used to buy items or traded for cryptocurrency.
New Hires: Esteban Gil and Brent Pease
Esteban Gil, formerly of Garena Free Fire and Lean Portfolio Management at Respawn and Apex Legends, will oversee WAGMI’s business strategy development. Brent Pease, previously with EA and founder of Industrial Toys, will assume a COO/GM role to oversee operations and implement growth strategies.
Growth Potential and Industry Engagement
Web3 games currently attract only 3% of the global video games player base. However, WAGMI believes that by lowering the barrier to entry and developing engaging games, this number will increase. WAGMI’s decision to hire talent from the traditional gaming industry reflects its commitment to creating captivating games.
Hot Take: WAGMI’s Vision for the Future
WAGMI’s CEO, Ian Bentley, believes that the addition of Esteban Gil and Brent Pease is a testament to the franchise’s vision and the opportunity to evolve the gaming space. WAGMI aims to leverage cutting-edge technologies and create immersive gaming experiences that thrill its growing community.
