Million Lords recently collaborated with  Mr. Beast to bring grassroots competitions to life in the game

To bring grassroots competitions within the game to life, Mr. Beast, a renowned content creator who only recently discovered Million Lords, fell in love with it. He impulsively organized a tournament with an $18,000 prize pool. Significant contributions were made on behalf of Mr. Beast to Beast Philanthropy through this partnership and the publication of the Mr. Beast City skin chroma. Connecting with Mr. Beast’s enormous fan following helped Million Lords’ popularity among gamers all over the world.

We are overjoyed that Million Lords has had such a fantastic response from players thus far. We intend to use the money from this investment to continue creating and improving our popular game, grow our staff with important senior additions, such as a new Chief Marketing Officer and a Chief Technology Officer, and significantly step up our international marketing activities.
