Earlier this year, Denmu launched its debut fund with a $50 million target. The firm has now closed the oversubscribed fund, surpassing its initial goal.
“We started Denmu to back games with a clear creative identity and to build lasting relationships with the people making them,” said CEO Ryan You. “Closing above our target gives us more capacity to do just that.”
“Each game developer needs a different combination of funding, production support, and access to players. Our job is to understand those unique individual needs and build a partnership that works for both the game and the studio over time.”
When GamesIndustry.biz spoke to You and creative director Michael Fan back in June, Denmu had invested in projects including The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, Blue Protocol: Star Resonance, Bleach: Soul Resonance, Labyrinth of the Demon King, MotorSlice, and Silly Polybeast.
Denmu has now disclosed investments in Guildford-based Fuse Games and its debut title, Star Wars: Galactic Racer; Maverick Games’ Clutch, following its partnership with Focus Entertainment;
