Eschatology Entertainment wants to disrupt hardcore games

Eschatology Entertainment is a brand new studio, formed by veterans from Wargaming and Valve. The studio has raised $4 million from The Games Fund and GEM Capital, with the mission statement of disrupting hardcore games. The $4 million is an even split: $2 million from The Games Fund and $2 million from GEM Capital.

The new Cyprus-based studio is led by Fuad Kuliev, Viktor Antonov, Dmytro Kostiukevych, and Boris Nikolaev. Kuliev, Kostiukevych and Nikolaev have all worked in games together fairly recently as part of Lesser Evil Games. Antonov, meanwhile, is an experienced art director. His credits include time spent at Valve, Arkane Studios, ZeniMax and others. Some of his industry work includes Half-Life 2 and the Dishonored series.
