Vainglory Studio Secures $19M in Funding
Super Evil Megacorp, the studio behind the popular Vainglory, has netted a hefty $19M in a recent round of funding. No doubt happy with their performance so far, Super Evil Megacorp has already doubled their studio space and is rolling up their sleeves for the next big step.
"Like on every other platform, players on mobile will gravitate to uncompromising gameplay, superior graphical performance and believable characters with rich stories. We work hard every day to build a studio that can live up to those standards and to be the best home for core gaming talent, filling our “Lair” with master craftspeople creative, ionate and ambitious enough to push the boundaries of the industry."
With their newly acquired funds, Super Evil Megacorp has big plans and will be focusing much of it on their core projects. As they are looking to grow the Vainglory community base, more and major work is being done on Vainglory's addition of a new and exciting 5v5 mode. The studio will also be working on the development of project "E.V.I.L.", the studio's own proprietary console-based engine.
"As a studio, we're obsessed with technology and unleashing beautiful graphics, stunning visual effects and realistic animations at the highest possible frame rates, across the broadest range of platforms. We're thrilled with what our engine makes possible today, and we're excited about how much more we can do for Vainglory and beyond in the days ahead."
Super Evil Megacorp is very excited with the growth and development of their studio, and is clearly not afraid of ambition. It will be interesting to see what offerings the studio will bring in the near future, but until then fans can stay tuned for some big updates coming to Vainglory.
