Future Trash announced today that it has raised $5 million in its seed round of funding. It plans to put the money towards developing and launching its original IP, FOAD, on the UEFN platform within Fortnite. FOAD centers around various party games featuring anthropomorphic explosive devices, “aesthetically inspired by 90’s rebel teenage nostalgia,” according to the company’s founders. TIRTA and General Catalyst led the round, which is aimed at launching the IP as a UGC-native franchise.
The studio has made several UGC games already, including Bomb Tycoon and Boom: Boss Fight, and these games have accumulated 20 million unique players and 1 billion minutes of playtime. According to Future Trash, it plans to make 15 games for UEFN over the next year across multiple genres and game types popular with Fortnite’s audience. The developer also plans to expand FOAD’s community on social media, including Discord, YouTube and TikTok.
