Mobile developer Bigger Games has raised $25 million in a Series A funding round led by Goodwater Capital.
As reported by GamesBeat, the investment will be used to grow its portfolio of games, specifically its latest title Kitchen Masters.
The studio is currently expanding its team for the title as it scales the game for a global audience.
Arcadia Gaming Partners also contributed to the funding round, in addition to existing investors Index Ventures and Play Ventures.
Former Activision president and current Goodwater Capital partner Coddy Johnson has also joined Bigger Games’ board of directors.
“We’re really excited about what this investment unlocks: the ability to test and learn what brings joy to players across different countries,” said Bigger Games CEO and co-founder Hakan Ulvan.
“With the right product, the right people, and the right focus, we’re working to turn Kitchen Masters into not just a successful game that brings joy at the core of playing.”
Arcadia Gaming Partners founder Akın Babayğit added: “Hakan and the Bigger team embody all the qualities that make the Turkish games ecosystem what it is today.
“I have had the pleasure of being on this journey with Hakan from the beginning, and watching him evolve into the truly exceptional founder (and person) he is today. The sky is the limit for the whole team, and I can’t wait to see what they will achieve.”
In 2020, Bigger Games raised $6 million in a seed round led by Index Ventures.
The investment was supported by Play Ventures, Unity founder David Helgason, and former King COO Stephane Kurgan.
