Delysium, an AI-powered AAA Web3 game focusing on Southeast Asia, has secured a US$10 million strategic funding round led by US-based Anthos Capital.
Immutable, GSR, Blockchain Coinvestors, Leonis Capital, Antalpha Ventures (Bitmain’s venture arm), Perion, and Formless Capital also participated.
The funding will be used mainly to develop the content, enable unique AI-powered experiences, and build Delysium Multiverse, an open-source operating and publishing network on the blockchain.
“We will focus on making three things happen to build a strong community: a great game, a unique AI-powered experience, and an unprecedented, innovative business model based on the blockchain,” said Xiankun Wu, Co-Founder of rct AI, the parent of Delysium.

rct AI is a company backed by Y Combinator, Makers Fund, and Galaxy Interactive. Its game Delysium is powered by Deterrence, an AI layer for powering intelligent NFTs. The startup has integrated technologies (AI yield farming, conversational AI, battle AI, and AI motion generation) to create cognitively aware virtual beings distributed to every corner of Delysium. Players can enjoy a more dynamic and personalised gaming experience by interacting with AI MetaBeings.
Born in the virtual world, these AI MetaBeings are native digital species capable of earning and holding their private assets by joining game modes with players, creating dynamically generated narratives for players, and learning and iterating from continuous interactions with players.
In Delysium Multiverse, each universe is operated by a separate Delysium Multiverse Operator (DMO). Not only can DMOs issue their own NFTs based on Delysium’s IP free of charge, but they can also create their own customised tokenomics or incentive system with their own tokens embedded into the game. Based on this innovative model, players can enjoy more diverse and rich content through community-based DMOs’ creation and operations.
Unix Gaming, one of the world’s largest gaming guilds with more than 200,000 players, has become the first DMO officially announced.
