Final Fantasy VII, Tactics vets bag $7M for their mobile studio

Some of the talent behind popular Final Fantasy games are working on a new mobile RPG.

Independent game developer Kobojo has raised $7 million in a Series B round, led by Oxford Capital Partners with participation from Endeavor Vision and Scottih Investment Bank. The Paris-based studio will use the funding to expand its studios and prepare its upcoming free-to-play role-playing mobile game, Zodiac, coming to iOS and PlayStation Vita in 2015. This will let the touch-based RPG developer make moves beyond its casual roots into the $30 billion mobile games business.
