The Paris-based studio behind the survival MMO Life Beyond has announced the funding from Serena, a European venture capital firm, as well as Lakestar.
Darewise was founded in 2015 and specializes in “social online games,” with Life Beyond positioned as an MMO that’s less focused on destruction and more on creativity and a “positive social framework.”
Investment led by Serena, a European venture capital firm, and joined by Lakestar, also a VC, will be used for the further development of the game. Darewise Entertainment previously raised $1 million, bringing its fundraising to over €4 million to date.
The company has already recruited former staff members from Ubisoft, Rockstar Games, CD Projekt Red and has previously hired Half-Life 2 creative director and Dishonored developer Viktor Antonov.
