Newly independent Amplitude Studios announced today that it has raised €12 million, or around $13.5 million in a Series A funding round. Griffin Gaming Partners led the round with a €10 million investment, with public investment bank Bpifrance also participating. The studio plans to put the funding towards development of its new and in-development titles, including Endless Legend 2, as well as grow out its team and community collaboration.
Frankie Zhu, partner at Griffin, said in a statement, “We’re excited to partner with Amplitude Studios on their next chapter – they’ve created rich strategy-based franchises and plan to continue leveraging their depth of knowledge in the genre alongside their loyal community to create engaging universes. The team has a proven track record of excellence in releasing multiple titles that are both critically acclaimed and loved by their audiences.”
Last year, Amplitude Studios went independent from Sega, which acquired it in 2016. Now, according to the minds behind the studio, it plans to get back to its roots as a strategy game developer, starting with the aforementioned Endless Legend 2.
Romain de Waubert de Genlis, Amplitude CEO, said in a statement, “We built Amplitude as an indie studio driven by passion and community. What’s exciting about regaining our independence through this partnership with Griffin is that it’s not about changing who we are, it’s about accelerating toward the future we’ve always envisioned. A future where we can fully realize our creative vision and deliver the immersive experiences our players expect. We’re already deep in development on what’s next—and we can’t wait to share it.”
