The investment in Freedom Games comes on the heels of the indie game publisher’s debut in 2020. In just a year and a half’s time, they have published successful indie projects like Coromon, Dreamscaper, Dark Deity, Cat Cafe Manager, and Symphony of War all selling hundreds of thousands of copies, among many others.
“When seeking a partner to join us for the next part of our exciting journey, we knew we needed someone with a background in bringing compelling experiences to broad audiences, and Play Ventures absolutely does,” said Ben Robinson, COO and Co-Founder of Freedom Games. “We couldn’t be more proud to work together. Not only will this enable us to bring even more high-quality indies to fruition and continue growing our platform for creators to share their content, but to also stay committed to our developer-first mindset by continuing to invest in our suite of tools and services for indie developers,” said Donovan Duncan, CEO and Co-Founder of Freedom Games.
Play Ventures shares Freedom’s vision for a diverse industry elevating unknown game development talent from around the world. Play’s investment will accelerate Freedom’s growth, allow the hiring of additional production staff to expand and better serve indie developers, expand their community platform: wiki.gg, and grow the Freedom Games’ indie game catalog even further. Play Ventures’ investment was joined by Nashville Capital Network (NCN) and GFR Fund.
"Freedom’s rapid growth is a clear sign of where the heart of the game industry lies, with indie games," said Harri Manninen, Founding Partner at Play Ventures. "We believe that Freedom Games will become a staple name in the indie space, alongside the likes of Devolver, Annapurna, tinyBuild, Team 17, and so many others. As fans, we are also looking forward to playing what they have in store for 2023 across all platforms!"
The success continues into Q4 2022 with the anticipated release of premiere indie title 9 Years of Shadows, and into Q1 2023 with highly anticipated games like Mail Time, One Lonely Outpost, and many more.
