Commenting on the development, Roy Liu, Co-founder of Syn City, said, “Successful social platforms and metaverse projects must let creators generate content for friends, clients, and other ecosystem participants. As a result, metaverse gaming continues to gain momentum and evolve, with a strong focus on social networking.”

“SYN CITY’s commitment to UGC both in-game and on-chain by introducing a unique in-game governance feature called Mafia-as-a-DAO (MaaD) is a very exciting development in the P2E space,” said Shahar Sorek, Overwolf CMO.

- Apart from investments, SYN CITY is also looking to find ways to integrate with the Overwolf platform so that creators on its platform can benefit and monetize their works on a larger scale.
