Copenhagen-based studio BetaDwarf has secured an investment from Square Enix.
The undisclosed sum will accelerate the development of its upcoming title Vaultbreakers.
It will also enable the BetaDwarf to improve its production capacity and continue supporting its “ongoing community-driven development”.
“Square Enix is always looking for high-quality games and talented development studios,” said Square Enix general manager of business development Hideaki Uehara.
“After visiting BetaDwarf and learning about the team’s mission and passion, we decided to invest in them to help realise their dream and bring this game to players around the world.”
BetaDwarf CEO Steffen Kabbelgaard added: “Being accompanied by Square Enix on our journey is an amazing access to a combination of knowledge, talent, and resources.”
“Getting this additional support feels amazing when we are far into production already. I can really see how this enables a home run vs having just started on an uncertain journey.”
BetaDwarf was founded in 2012, and is known for titles including Forced, Forced: Showdown, and Minion Masters.
It received an undisclosed investment from London Venture Partners in April 2019, followed by a funding round in September 2019 that raised $6.6 million.
