MON Co.
We are a development studio and publisher specializing in blockchain-based intellectual property and entertainment. Led by a team of key executives from top venture and gaming studios such as Ubisoft, Electronic Arts (EA), Streamline Studios, Riot Games, Sony, Activision, and Warner Media. The MON Co. landscape includes Pixelmon, our core IP franchise; MON Protocol, a web3 arm with its suite of products; and two newly announced projects: MON Ventures and the Eternal League IP franchise. Between Pixelmon and MON Protocol, our team has built a massive community of Web3 gamers and fans and is now gearing up for the closed Beta of our flagship gaming title - Warden’s Ascent. Our team launched the $MON token earlier this year, with the token generation event (TGE) happening just over three months ago. Warden’s Ascent is a Turn Based RPG for mobile, the flagship gaming title within the Pixelmon IP, currently undergoing closed Beta and preparing for public release in 2025 - the MON team spent the last two and a half years building the game and ramping up the size and passion of their large community in preparation for its debut. In particular, Pixelmon made a debut in gamescom 2024, the world’s largest gaming event with more than 335,000 visitors from 120 countries, in August 2024. An experiential showcase saw gamers and industry players alike try out three mid-core games - Warden’s Ascent, Warriors of Nova Thera, and Eternal League. The games are now available for players to pre-register for closed beta testing. MON’s plans for 2024/2025 include rolling out a series of key engagement initiatives in markets including Asia, as it continues to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 gaming audiences by building a mainstream gaming community.
