True Gamers, a leading international network of esports clubs, has unveiled plans to develop the world’s first esports island in Abu Dhabi. Valued at more than $280 million, it will create a dynamic ecosystem to cater to the constantly growing esports community.
The project is in collaboration with leading gaming collectives including BetBoom Team, Virtus.pro and Team Spirit.
It will offer a unique experience for esports recreation and boot camps, providing aspiring gamers with valuable insights into the professional scene.
The ‘eSports Island’ will encompass a professional training facility for leading teams, a high-tech venue for hosting top-tier gaming tournaments, and dedicated content creation spaces for influencers and game developers.
Gamers will also enjoy a luxurious hotel with a unique concept, providing an immersive esports experience. The company is committing more than $280 million to the project, and discussions are currently underway with high-profile investors to secure funding.
The investment will encompass everything from acquiring a private island to curating exclusive adventures, such as a parachute jump check-in inspired by PUBG, designed to create an unparalleled guest experience.
Children’s esports camps will also be established, fostering the next generation of gaming enthusiasts.
