Sprocket Games raises $5M for its debut title, a social adventure game

Nascent studio Sprocket Games announced today it has raised $5 million in funding. The company, which was founded by veterans of Riot Games, Google, Blizzard, Obsidian, and CCP Games, plans to use this money to build its team.

Josiah Kiehl, Jo Graylock, Nicolas Tittley, and Reina Sweet founded Sprocket this year. They hope to create a studio that supports a diverse, inclusive workforce with extensive benefits like healthcare. The developers are also working on the studio’s first game, which they call “a cross-platform, social adventure game.”
