Seven New Games Join Ronin Forge Program
What is Ronin Forge?
Ronin Forge is a gateway for game studios to integrate and scale their games using the Ronin blockchain. It provides access to infrastructure and tools designed specifically for gaming, helping developers leverage the Ronin network’s community and ecosystem. By aligning incentives between Sky Mavis (the creator of Ronin), game studios, and players, Ronin Forge aims to accelerate innovation in web3 gaming.
Introducing the New Games
Aleksander Leonard Larsen, COO and co-founder of Sky Mavis, emphasized the program’s goal in a statement: “Ronin Forge is the next step in further opening up Ronin for builders. Offering grants and access to the Sky Mavis ecosystem will serve as an experimental ground for developing the next generation of web3 games. We aim to encourage innovation and build network effects, inviting like-minded studios to join on our path towards scaling the Ronin Network.”
Ronin Forge Early Access Program
1. Pixel Heroes Adventure
Pixel Heroes Adventure is a mobile MMORPG designed for Android and iOS. Featuring pixelated graphics, the game allows players to engage in boss battles, collect loot, and trade in-game items. The development team behind Pixel Heroes Adventure is keen on pioneering the web3 MMORPG genre. As a teaser, players can already access Tap Adventure, a Telegram mini-game offering early rewards and a glimpse into the broader game ecosystem.
2. Cambria
Inspired by the classic MMORPG Runescape, Cambria offers two distinct games: Gold Rush and Dual Arena. Dual Arena is a PvP (player-versus-player) game where participants duel for on-chain rewards.

Cambria’s goal is to provide a high-stakes gaming environment where both risks and rewards are amplified.

Kuroro Wilds rounds out the ecosystem as a Pokémon-inspired RPG with real-time combat and collectible elements. With its large user base and an upcoming alpha release, Kuroro Beasts is poised to be a major player in web3 gaming.
