Yuga Labs, the Web3 company behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, has hired Spencer Tucker as its first Chief Gaming Officer.
At Yuga, Tucker will oversee the development of the company’s gaming initiatives, starting with its upcoming metaverse platform, “Otherside.”
“Web3 is revolutionizing gaming, entertainment, and community in much the same way the shift to mobile revolutionized communication,” Tucker said. “I am beyond excited to join the Yuga Labs team and to continue building toward the new era of interoperability and community-empowered growth in the Otherside metaverse.”
Tucker previously held executive positions at mobile gaming firms Scopely and GREE, where he served as Senior Vice President of Product and President of Games, respectively.
“Spencer brings a passion for and deep knowledge of gaming and shares our vision for the Otherside metaverse,” Yuga Labs CEO Nicole Muniz said in a statement. “Yuga today is known most prominently for being the home of Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, and Meebits, but Yuga is more than that. Gaming is one of our main focus areas.”
In July, 4,300 Otherdeed NFT holders, known as “Voyagers,” were invited to explore the metaverse platform during its “First Trip tech demo.” Yuga Labs soon after published the Otherside’s litepaper.
