Forge is a platform that allows players to link disparate online gaming and social accounts to create a unified Forge profile representing their gaming history and achievements. At launch in beta, users can access a seasonal Season Pass with quests to earn XP, level up, and unlock in-game content and rewards such as cosmetics, item/character unlocks, virtual currency, and early beta access from partner games. The platform also offers weekly bonus rewards for participating beta users, including Amazon gift cards and hardware prizes. Forge originated as a project within GGWP (launched in 2020) and was spun off as a new company founded by Dennis “Thresh” Fong, Kun Gao, and George Ng. For launch week the company is partnering with titles including Genopets, Mojo Melee, Pixelmon, Portal Fantasy, Rushdown Revolt and The Sandbox, and it says new games will be added each week during the beta period. Strategic and financial backers named in the article include Makers Fund, BITKRAFT Ventures, Animoca Brands, Griffin Gaming Partners, Riot Games and Sony Innovation Fund.
