After the acquisition of game developer Grease Monkey in February, this will be Animoca Brands' second acquisition since the beginning of the year. 

The objective behind the acquisition of the French studio is its experience to construct a play-to-earn REVV Motorsport game. Additionally, it also wishes to achieve building other such blockchain-based racing series.

"With its quarter of a century of expertise in building high-quality motorsport video games, Eden Games will enhance and accelerate the development of the REVV Motorsport ecosystem and add powerful value to the REVV community and the racing metaverse."
