Traplight launches Battle Legion mobile game and raises $9 million

Mobile game studio Traplight is launching its Battle Legion mobile strategy game worldwide and announcing a $9 million funding round that EQT Ventures led.

Battle Legion combines strategy with an auto-battler core in something the company calls an auto mass-battler experience. Players can pick a strategy and watch the game unfold in 100-versus-100 mass battles. The team’s ambition is to build the next global gaming success story, and with that level of funding, it’s worth taking seriously.
