London-based Landmark, a mobile games studio built on the foundation and importance of sharing, announced that it has raised €4.47M in a seed round of funding.
The company is on a mission to plug a growing demand from players who crave adventures to share and enjoy with their friends. In a landscape oversaturated with games that pit players against each other, this emerging genre seeks to do the opposite.
Landmark says it will use the funds to further develop its first title, Sea of Souls, an epic adventure for friends to experience together.
The company will also use the capital to expand its studio to 20 people to develop hit free-to-play titles in this emerging co-op genre.
The founding team will create a studio from the ground up to pioneer cooperative gaming, bringing friends closer together to win the game rather than competing against one another.
With games like Diablo Immortal, Supercell’s forthcoming Clash Heroes, and Genshin Impact demonstrating the growing need for high-quality cooperative experiences, the studio has been keeping watch on growing interest in the cooperative genre.
Founded in 2021 by Dave Burpitt, Jonathan Chisholm, and James Older, Landmark is a mobile games studio built on the foundation and importance of sharing. “Sharing runs deep in our game design, features, and proprietary technology to ensure a seamless, relevant, and rewarding social experience,” says the company.
