About

Bright Star Studios is a video game publisher and developer focused on creating blockchain-based MMORPGs. The company's flagship title, Ember Sword, is a social sandbox MMORPG set in the world of Thanabus, featuring player-driven universe building, mechanically-fun combat with a dynamic class system, and horizontal progression options. The game offers true ownership of digital gaming assets through blockchain technology, allowing players to trade, sell, or keep cosmetic items. Ember Sword features a player-owned ecosystem with land plots including Regular Plots, Settlement Plots, Town Plots, and City Plots, each with increasing trading multipliers and building tier capabilities. The game is built on proprietary engine technology designed to be the first proper MMO playable on any device anywhere in the world instantly, with towns, villages, and cities owned and shaped by players. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, the company has raised $7.5M in Series A funding from investors including BITKRAFT Ventures, World of Warcraft veterans, Night Ventures, Play Ventures, Galaxy Interactive, Kitae, Dialectic Resonance, Ed3n Ventures, Apex Group, Loren Management, Money Pit Holding, and Dialectic Tourbillon SPC.
