Rumble Entertainment, developers of King's Road, has announced that it has raised $17.5 million in series B funding. According to the report, Nexon leads a strong field of other investors in the multi-platform development company.
Fresh off the release of its first game KingsRoad in open beta, Rumble clearly has a hit. KingsRoad is available on the web and Facebook and currently boasts more than one million monthly active players with average session lengths over an hour. Players are taking full advantage of the game’s multiplayer features, with 40% of players joining in real-time cooperative play daily. Fulfilling the team's multiplatform publishing promise, Rumble plans to launch KingsRoad soon on tablets and in localized languages.
Rumble is led by an accomplished group of industry veterans with deep social games and publishing expertise spanning the gaming world, from critically-acclaimed MMOs and console games to hit social and mobile titles. The team includes developers, executives and product leaders previously with Zynga, Activision, BioWare, Blizzard, Playdom, Electronic Arts, Turbine, LucasArts, and RockYou.
