The WOWCube entertainment system creator, Cubios Inc., raised $1.5 million in the Series A funding round from a leading investor Xsolla Inc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We don’t see such unique inventions in the game industry every day. I believe that the WOWCube entertainment system will be in every household soon as Rubik’s cube once was. This new digital gadget provides an absorbing gameplay experience that doesn’t end thanks to an open platform for developers,\u201d commented Dmitri Bourkovski, Chief Investment Officer at Xsolla. \u201cAnyone can create a new game or entertaining app for the cube and engage a user to continue playing. This investment aligns with our strategy to harness every innovating trend in the gaming industry”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The WOWCube entertainment system is a new kind of digital device in the shape of a cubical module. It has 24 high-resolution screens covering its surfaces for six sides, turning it into an intriguing gameplay field. Players experience the fun of interacting with a real object by manipulating their cube by tilting, shaking, twisting, and tapping. The physical movement allows for a unique user experience of interacting with digital worlds as if they are real objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Xsolla is not an ordinary investor; it\u2019s much more for us. The company provides extremely smart money and synergistic partnership by opening to us an access to their ecosystem and a large community of game developers,\u201d said Ilya Osipov, President, and Founder of Cubios. \u201cWe\u2019re sure that The Game Investment Platform announced by Xsolla earlier this year will help our developers to express their creativity in full by making many unique and absorbing games for our device. We’re proud to have such a close relationship with the $3 billion company, which we are eager to learn from and follow.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
