● Veloce is partnering with Mishcon de Reya’s technology consultancy, MDRxTech, to evolve its ecosystem to Web3
● Veloce is the world’s largest next-gen racing, gaming and media ecosystem with over half a billion monthly views
● Veloce has both real world and digital sports assets, including a team franchise in the environmentally focused Extreme E series, as well as joint ventures with global sports stars such as F1 driver Lando Norris
● Decentralisation and evolution to Web3 will enable greater fan engagement and rewards for the Veloce community as well offer vast utility throughout Veloce’s assets across Racing, Gaming and joint ventures
● Veloce targeting early 2023 for the full digital transformation to be completed

Rupert Svendsen-Cook, CEO of Veloce Group, said: “Since founding the company, our vision has been to create a future-facing sports and media entertainment platform that can not only fuel itself but reward the highly engaged and loyal community of which we have been built upon. In simple terms, we see the adoption of Web3 and specifically the integration of the vast utility that we have within our ecosystem to be an incredibly logical evolution to realise that ambition.

“Sports have traditionally locked fans in ‘push only’ relationships. Web3 changes that. We get half a billion views every month throughout the Veloce sporting, gaming and media ecosystem. We want those fans to have ownership, a realisation of value and tangible influence over our assets based upon their commitment and support of whichever area they engage with us. Ultimately, those who support our mission and values the most will no longer just be spectators, they will be able to join us on this venture together. If Veloce is winning, our community will be winning too. This is about the future of sport and what fans mean to sports.”

What does this mean for Veloce?

● Veloce will be decentralising control over its products and services provided to fans across its ecosystem, using blockchain technology.
● Veloce will release both a utility and governance token, based on a recognised protocol, to be used as the medium for users to participate in the Veloce ecosystem – from real life merch and early bird access to gaming products and events, content access, future in-game transactions, membership and influence on the virtual and physical sporting assets across the ecosystem.
● The transition at Veloce will be reflected internally and across its media network, for which Veloce will continue to educate its audience and community on Web3.
● Veloce will be able to reward its members who are aligned with the firm’s mission, values and ethos by using Web3 technologies such as blockchain.
● The intention is to link the Group’s sporting assets with a foundational layer—a utility token and treasury—to support fan engagement in a decentralised community. Veloce will continue to expand its sporting assets across real world sports and esports, including potential for more esports teams and acquisitions of further franchises in other innovative motorsport series.

Tom Grogan, CEO of MDRxTech, said: “Veloce has already established itself as a leading Web2 business, and has a reputation for disruption and innovation across its racing, gaming and media ecosystem. Veloce’s transition to Web3 is a logical next step in its mission to empower fans to engage in more immersive, rewarding, and innovative ways.

“The Veloce team’s focus on providing real utility and value to their users and fans has been impressive – they are uniquely placed to build on their existing communities and use Web3 technologies to establish themselves as true Web3 pioneers. Veloce’s Web3 ecosystem will allow them to create a “golden thread”, woven in and through their various groups, to ensure their global community is more valuable than the sum of its parts.

“In designing and building this venture with Veloce, we’re also helping navigate legal and compliance complexities to protect the business and its users. The whole project has an overwhelming sense of purpose. We can’t wait for the next stages, and to deliver a revolutionary ecosystem for Veloce’s fans.”

Jack Clarke, Chief Innovation Officer of Veloce Group, added: “There are so many Web3 projects that are fantastic ideas and tech solutions, but they’re starting from zero – they have no users, brand, community, fans, marketing or educational awareness. That’s where Veloce is so uniquely well positioned above anyone else. We have all that Web3 needs to thrive, with highly relevant and effective platforms to educate and onboard our users while at the same time genuinely integrating the technology to provide a much more engaging and rewarding solution to all stakeholders. It’s an incredibly exciting and credible proposition, which makes it even more important to be working with such respected technical advisors MDRxTech in realising what we know is possible.”

Celebrated strategy game The Battle of Polytopia confirms its first ever World Championships has exceeded expectations with over 10,000 sign-ups in its qualifying rounds. While no stranger to tournaments, previously hosting smaller scale, local tournaments called ‘Polysseums’, developer Midjiwan’s first step into global esports has been met with extreme success. The inclusive esports event has a $10,000 prize pool and will conclude on 6 December 2025, 14:00-21:00.

The finals will take place in front of a live-studio audience, with expert commentary and a chance to peek behind the scenes at Midjiwan itself. First place will receive $4,000, the runner-up will take away $2,000, the third and fourth place finishers will get $1,500, and the fifth and sixth place $500.

The Polytopia World Championship 2025 is being hosted by eSports platform, Challengermode, who Midjiwan has relied on for its monthly local tournaments since 2022. Midjiwan also partnered with Black Molly Entertainment to help organise and manage the event. Black Molly Entertainment have years of experience managing eSports tournaments, with notable events including the Geoguesser World Cup and CS:GO Pinnacle Cup Championship.

Midjiwan has worked closely with its community to ensure engagement is high with each round, building a bespoke ‘Spectator Mode’ into the game so fans can watch each game live through the game itself. In the spectator mode the viewer has visibility of all players simultaneously, with stats on how many cities, technologies, kills and more available for quick access.

Christian Lovstedt, CEO of Midjiwan commented:
“Polytopia has always been about welcoming all kinds of players into the world of 4X strategy. That’s why our championship is open to everyone – not just pros with sponsors. We’ve been thrilled at the amount of interest this tournament received from our community, reaching participation numbers way beyond our expectations. We’re excited to bring the finalists to Stockholm and can’t wait to see the strategies that emerge.”

The Polytopia World Championship 2025 kicked off in September, with its ‘Battle of the Tribes’ qualifying round – weekly battles where players competed to be the best in each of the game’s 12 tribes.

•     Nearly one third of games companies in Germany foresee an industry upswing in the coming year
•     More than half expect a positive business development for their own company in the next twelve months
•     Around one in three games companies anticipate new hires
After three challenging years, games companies in Germany are looking ahead with increased optimism. Nearly one in three companies (29 per cent) anticipate a positive development in the games industry in the coming twelve months, as compared with just 17 per cent one year ago. 31 per cent of games companies expect a negative development in the industry – a considerable drop from last year’s level of 45 per cent. These are the results of game’s annual industry barometer, which was published by game – The German Games Industry Association. Games companies in Germany look towards their own business development in the coming year significantly more positively, with over half (53 per cent) expecting business to be good in 2026, similar to last year’s number of 52 per cent. Only 12 per cent anticipate a downturn in business, compared to 15 per cent last year. In their personnel planning, the companies nonetheless remain initially cautious: around one third of games companies in Germany (32 per cent) anticipate hiring new employees in 2026, the same percentage as last year.
‘Confidence is returning to Germany’s games industry,’ says Felix Falk, Managing Director of game. ‘Following a difficult phase both here and abroad, positive signals, such as the strong gamescom 2025, and important policy initiatives, like the increased federal games funding and the announced federal tax incentives, are bringing improved prospects and greater optimism compared to a year ago.’
About game’s 2026 industry barometer
The data is based on an online survey conducted by game – The German Games Industry Association between 12 and 21 November 2025, involving a total of 202 German games industry association members, including in particular developers and publishers.
