Telltale has raised a new round of funding for its narrative-based video games like The Wolf Among Us 2 and The Expanse.
The Series A money came from Hiro Capital and Skybound Entertainment. This funding will help Telltale bring its first new games to market, such as the highly-anticipated The Expanse: A Telltale Series, slated for release this Summer, and The Wolf Among Us 2. The funding amount wasn’t disclosed.
“We are honored to have the confidence of Hiro Capital, a fund that is committed to the future of the games industry, and that of our colleagues at Skybound Entertainment,” said Jamie Ottilie, CEO at Telltale, in a statement. “It’s both a pleasure and a natural fit to be affiliated with companies that share our commitment to narrative games and transmedia entertainment.”
This investment pairs Telltale, a pioneer in the episodic narrative adventure genre, with well-known game industry pioneer Sir Ian Livingstone (CBE). Knighted last year for his services to the online games industry, Livingstone is best known as the co-founder of the twenty million-selling Fighting Fantasy series of narrative role-playing books and for co-founding two billion-dollar game companies, Games Workshop and Eidos Interactive. Together with the Hiro Capital team, he has cofounded or backed more than $9 billion in leading games, sports, and technology companies.
