Bossa Studios Secures Additional $1.35 Million In Funding
Bossa Studios recently acquired an additional $1.35 million funding from seed fund London Venture Partners, which should help them complete their MMO sandbox game Worlds Adrift.
Serious interest has surrounded Worlds Adrift since it was announced, primarily because the game is built using Improbable: a gaming infrastructure that should allow the rendering of huge numbers of physics-based objects in real time.
“The fantastic team at Bossa, composed of veterans from landmark studios such as Bullfrog, Jagex, Ubisoft, and Playfish, has been consistently innovating with games that turn genres on their heads,” said David LauKee, partner at London Venture Partners, in a statement. “Their BAFTA-winning debut title, Monstermind, was the world’s first realtime multiplayer game on Facebook; Surgeon Simulator, one of the most popular titles ever on YouTube, sparked a ‘Let’s Play’ discoverability revolution that is at full steam to this date. It’s no surprise that their latest project, Worlds Adrift, is their most ambitious yet and the one capable of completely transforming how we experience multiplayer gaming.”
Players will scavenge floating islands in search of resources, building airships, and swinging around using grappling hooks. Worlds Adrift has piqued interest and clearly many others see potential.
