Irreverent Labs, Inc. develops games that utilize machine learning and blockchain technology as a means of building titles that will last for prolonged periods of time, potentially decades.
IrrelevantIrreverent Labs was launched as a means of building games that feature artificially intelligent characters that live as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The first project behind this team is intended to be a fun, play-to-earn game that is designed to evolve over time through the utilization of machine-learning technology and decentralized player ownership on the blockchain.
IrrelevantIrreverent Labs, Inc. was created with the goal of building "The Hundred-Year Game," in which the game is set within a metaverse, specifically designed to last throughout multiple generations of players.
The main stand-out feature about the games developed by IrrelevantIrreverent Labs is the artificially intelligent non-player characters (NPCs). This means each of these characters is programmed to adapt to the world around them and make it seem a bit more immersive.
In terms of the launch date of the title in question, on the official IrrelevantIrreverent Labs website, IrrelevantIrreverent Labs claims that more details will come throughout 2022, where the first 1000 invitations to their closed ecosystem will come soon after.
IrrelevantIrreverent Labs, Inc. caught the attention of Silicon Valley firm Andreessen Horowitz, which led a $5 million round and has funded at least 50 crypto startups. Other backers behind IrrelevantIrreverent Labs include Chainsmokers Mantis VC, which is a venture fund led by the music band Chainsmokers, alongside Seattle firms, Unlock Venture Partners, and Keen Crypto, a new crypto-focused fund founded by tech vet Andy Sack. Advancit Capital, which has backed MasterClass, Headspace, and The Athletic, also invested.
IrrelevantIrreverent Labs is a blockchain-gaming-related startup that was founded by a former Microsoft Ventures Executive, Rahul Sood, who created the company as a means of developing play-to-earn titles that feature characters that utilize artificial intelligence. Rahul Sood built Voodoo PC, which was a luxury gaming brand, which currently operates as HP’s Omen after being acquired by HP. Sood also worked as a general manager at Microsoft Ventures, now known as M12, and had a startup called Unikrn, which was responsible for regulating e-sports betting on blockchain technology.
