Rise of Fearless launches USD 700,000 investment round to advance Web3 mobile gaming in Africa

UAE-based mobile gaming platform Rise Of Fearless has launched a $700,000 investment round to accelerate its growth, enhance gameplay, and support its transition into the Web3 ecosystem. The platform uniquely combines African storytelling with skill-based battle royale gameplay, drawing inspiration from Ethiopia’s historic victory at the Battle of Adwa. The funding will enable Rise of Fearless to build a blockchain-powered gaming ecosystem that empowers African gamers to own digital assets such as weapons and skins, earn rewards, and participate in a secure digital economy. Rise of Fearless is currently available as a free-to-play mobile game on the Apple App Store and Google Play, ensuring broad accessibility. The game’s deep roots in African heritage and culture position it as the first battle royale title at this scale to incorporate such themes, tapping into Africa’s 680 million mobile users and a gaming industry growing at 12 percent annually. Kanessa Muluneh, founder and creator of Rise of Fearless, said: “As an Ethiopian-born entrepreneur in Dubai, I have experienced how the UAE’s ecosystem empowers changemakers and connects countries and cultures with gaming communities. We have invested significantly in developing Rise of Fearless and are now raising $700,000 to expand the game, enhance gameplay, and transition to Web3. This funding will allow us to build a blockchain-powered gaming ecosystem where players can truly own their digital assets and unlock new financial opportunities for gamers across Africa."
