Carbonated is the studio behind MadWorld, a post-apocalyptic third-person shooter for iOS and Android that integrates NFT-based territory control. MadWorld pairs competitive shooting action with territory control built on tokenized land assets mapped to a hex grid of over 250,000 plots, each with distinct resources and perks. Players can own, upgrade, and trade tokenized versions of real-world locations, and clans can battle over plots while paying "tribute" in an in-game currency called Rounds. Rounds are intended to be convertible to a future on-chain token pending early access feedback, fueling a tokenized in-game economy on the XPLA blockchain. Carbonated opened early access registration and plans a public launch of MadWorld sometime in 2024. The studio was founded in 2015 by industry veterans from PlayStation and Electronic Arts and is led by CEO Travis Boatman; the company recently raised $11 million in a Series A.
