Bad Robot Games, the Bad Robot’s video game division, completed a $40+m Series B funding. The round was led by Galaxy Interactive, with participation from existing investors Horizons Ventures, Iconiq Capital and Tencent. The financing follows the formation of its internal development team, Bad Robot Games Studio, and the hiring of CEO Anna Sweet in early 2020. Bad Robot Games will use the new capital to build out its internal Games Studio and continue to ramp up the team with additional hiring. Formed by filmmaker J.J. Abrams in 2001, Santa Monica, CA-based Bad Robot has produced television series such as Alias, Lost, Fringe, Person of Interest, Castle Rock, Westworld, Lovecraft Country and Little Voice; feature films such as Super 8, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, the Star Trek, Mission: Impossible and Cloverfield franchises; and interactive content including the mobile app Action Movie FX. In 2018, the company launched Loud Robot, an artist-friendly independent music label, and Bad Robot Games, a new entity dedicated to developing large and indie-scale original games for mobile, PC and console.
