Overwolf raised $52.5 million to expand its modding platform for game developers and publishers.

The Tel Aviv-based company is also launching its CurseForge Core user-generated content platform. It will offer the platform as a service for game companies to take advantage of mods, or the custom creations of players that can enhance existing games. It enables folks to create software that tracks player performance in games by tapping developer APIs (such as tracking deck performance in card games like Hearthstone). The large funding echoes the enthusiasm around Roblox, the user-generated game platform company that went public last week at a $41.9 billion valuation.
