Vulcan Forged is one of the more established game studios in the Web 3.0 gaming sphere, sharing the stage with Animoca Brands, Gala Games, and Sky Mavis.
The seasoned game developer has one of the most diverse ecosystems in the industry, consisting of leading NFT marketplaces, a large community, and a highly successful incubator famous for hit titles such as VulcanVerse, Forge Arena, Vulcan Forged, and more.
Vulcan Forged’s acquisition of Chris Bowden and David Daumas is part of its efforts to bring in seasoned veterans from the Web 2.0 gaming ecosystem to the Web 3.0 gaming space to improve its games and experiences further.
Chris Bowden has played an important role as a leader at gaming giants such as Electronic Arts and Immutable. With over 12 years of experience in the traditional gaming industry, Bowden was vital to Immutable and Electronic Art’s marketing and communications strategies.
Previously, Bowden helped Immutable grow from its $2 million valuation to a $2.5 billion valuation in 2022. Before joining the Web 3.0 space, Bowden led localized marketing strategies in different parts of the world for games like EA Sports’ FIFA and Battlefield franchises.
Subsequently, David Daumas, a seasoned marketing strategist, will be bringing over 15 years of experience to his role as the CMO. Daumas previously worked on EA Sports’ AAA titles, such as FIFA, UFC, NHL, and more.
Daumas and Bowden both shared their excitement for joining Vulcan Forged and the future of the Web 3.0 industry. The newly appointed C-suite officers were supposedly eager to bridge the best practices from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 and define a gold standard for digital ownership, games, and the industry.
Vulcan Forged’s newest addition comes as a surprise, considering the market is currently going through a chaotic storm. The game studio’s recent funding successes and acquisitions indicate strength considering major companies, including Web 3.0 companies, suffer from the current market conditions, leading to hiring freezes and mass layoffs.
