The former creator of Mythic Entertainment’s The Dark Age of Camelot is back with a new game, and he has raised $7.5 million for the online fantasy game dubbed Camelot Unchained. The new game could feature as many as 2,000 players fighting in a battle at the same time.

Mark Jacobs still wanted to make games after he sold Mythic Entertainment, the maker of Dark Age of Camelot, to Electronic Arts for around $100 million in 2006. EA shut down Mythic in 2014, and Jacobs decided he wanted to create a new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
