Gunzilla Games, a AAA game studio, announced today that they have raised a total of $46M in their latest investment round. This new round of investment will allow the studio to build out their new platform called GunZ, empowering players by granting them complete ownership over their in-game possessions. GunZ will be the foundation for "Off The Grid" (OTG). One of the OTG's standout mechanics is "in-game item trading", the first game where players will be able to buy new in-game items from other players who collected them in the game or acquired them from each other
