Apogee, creator of Duke Nukem, secures $5M in funding

Apogee Entertainment, the game studio behind Duke Nukem, today announced that it’d secured a $5 million investment from eWTP Tech Innovation Fund. This is the first outside investment in the studio’s lengthy history, according to its creators.

Apogee is searching out talent in the indie game field, and it plans to use the investment to expand its team for that purpose. It launched one of its first-signed games, sci-fi survival game Residual, in 2021. According to its founders, it has since signed several more games. Its next game to launch is first-person shooter Turbo Overkill.
