Savage Game Studios has completed a seed round of financing to the tune of $4.4 million. The mobile developer, which has been operating in stealth until now, is based across Berlin, Germany and Helsinki, Finland. It was founded by Michail Katkoff, who also founded popular blog and podcast Deconstructor of Fun. The studio formed last summer and is staffed by a core team of former staff from Rockstar, Wargaming, Rovio and Next Games, specialising in free-to-play and AAA game development. The seed round was led by Makers Fund, with participation from Play Ventures, which previously led an unannounced pre-seed finance round.
