Blockade Games was co-founded by Marguerite deCourcelle as CEO, Diego Rodriguez as Lead Artist, and Ben Heidorn as CTO. The studio built Neon District, a free-to-play cyberpunk RPG featuring blockchain-based NFT characters and gear, and was previously affiliated with Plasma Bears and Pineapple Arcade. Neon District had previously partnered with The Sandbox and acquired LAND for a planned in-world experience.
Blockade Games raised an $833,000 seed equity round in November 2018 at a $13 million valuation, and later announced a $5 million seed extension at a $23 million valuation in November 2021, co-led by Animoca Brands and Digital. Additional backers included BlockTower Capital Partners, Redbeard Ventures, Flamingo DAO, Galaxy Interactive, Xsquared Ventures, Horizon Digital, and Polygon, which had also been a recommended blockchain partner for the studio's planned Blockchain Game Developer Platform.
Blockade Games ultimately redirected all resources away from game development toward generative-AI tooling, most notably Skybox AI, under the Blockade Labs identity.
