BRB, launching a mobile studio
Helsinki-based studio Boomlagoon was founded a couple of years ago by ex-Rovio team members, coming off of their work on a little game calledAngry Birds. They released a game calledNoble Nutlings(great name!) last year.
Now they’re working on new mobile games with the fat wad of cash they just pulled together. Their Series A, announced today, secured $3.6 million. The round was led by Northzone, with additional funding coming from Inventure and 360 Capital Partners. That’s a pretty good pile for a studio of only eight members.
Boomlagoon has a new game coming very soon — this month. All we know is that it’s a “character-driven” title. I’m betting the folks that put up that $3.6 million are hoping that this game will be the nextAngry Birds.
