Wargaming funds a stealth-stage mobile game studio in Seattle (exclusive)

Wargaming, the fast-growing maker of World of Tanks and other free-to-play massively multiplayer online games, has provided funding for a new stealth game studio in Seattle, GamesBeat has learned.

The studio is so new that it doesn’t have a name yet. The new company’s head is David Bluhm, a startup veteran who cofounded Z2, which has become a leading mobile game company. It will have its own charter to pursue the best available business strategy, but its funding comes entirely from Wargaming, which is based in Cyprus and has grown quickly on the strength of World of Tanks into a major game publisher.
