31 narrative-driven game projects secure $3.9M in European Union funding

The European Union is serious about supporting storytelling in video games.

Europe’s economic and political union recently awarded nearly $4M in non-repayable grants to 31 studios developing narrative-driven game projects, through its Creative Europe initiative. Recipients include The Chinese Room, creator of Everybody’s Gone to The Rapture, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt developer CD Projekt Red, and browser-based game specialist Bigpoint Games, along with a number of lesser-known studios.
