Portal Launches 2.0 with AI-Native Focus, Led by Former Ubisoft Director Benjamin Charbit

Gate News message, April 21 — Portal, a cross-chain gaming platform, announced the launch of Portal 2.0, driven by a new leadership team backed by Animoca Brands. Benjamin Charbit, former game director at Ubisoft, has been appointed as CEO. The platform is shifting its strategic focus toward AI-native tools and creator-first workflows, enabling non-developers to create games through AI-driven development.

Portal's new toolset includes Portal Studio, a virtual workspace for Agent collaboration; Portal GameRouter, a single API interface for managing Agents, assets, and pipelines. The platform will soon launch Portal GameGen, which enables prompt-based game generation, and Portal GameHub, a publishing and monetization platform.

Regarding tokenomics, Portal plans to conduct regular buybacks of PORTAL tokens using revenue generated from its AI tools. PORTAL holders will receive early access to new features, premium tool usage rights, and voting privileges.

Portal previously completed a merger with BLIFE Protocol in December 2025. The platform's core team is now primarily composed of representatives from Animoca Brands.
