VentureBeat.com is reporting that Bossa Studios has gotten a nice cash infusion thanks to a venture capital firm called London Venture Partners. The money is earmarked for Worlds Adrift, Bossa's sandbox MMO currently in development. The cash infusion should help accelerate the development of Worlds Adrift and help grow the company with new multiplayer and VR games as well as fund expanded operations.
“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.”
