Noodle Cat Games, led by game industry veterans from renowned studios such as Epic Games, Electronic Arts, and BioWare, announced the completion of its Series A funding round of $12 million led by Hiro Capital, with additional participation from Makers Fund, KRAFTON, and Sony Innovation Fund. The company raised $4.1 million in a seed funding round last year.
Noodle Cat is focused on building a flexible, iteration-based games studio that prioritizes creativity, employee health, career growth, and equitable compensation. The Series A funding round will be used to accelerate development and scale up the team, aiming to continue assembling the best creative talent from across the game industry.
David Hunt, CEO of Noodle Cat Games, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “The game industry is ripe for a revolution in how we work – a revolution that maximizes individual creative impact, leading to better games and greater team satisfaction. Over the last year, Noodle Cat has iterated from hypothesis to an effective development structure that has resulted in a unique gameplay experience. We’re excited at the opportunity this fundraising round gives us to fully execute on building awesome games in pursuit of a better future for the industry. I’m deeply grateful to the world-class investors that are supporting our vision.”
Sir Ian Livingstone, General Partner at Hiro Capital, added, “We are privileged to be backing such a strong founding team of industry veterans. I look forward to supporting Noodle Cat as they build a world-class studio and implement their vision. We fully support Noodle Cat’s creative approach, their game development process, and their commitment to putting the player first. Most importantly, their game is a lot of fun!”
Noodle Cat is an independent game studio founded by former Epic Games and Electronic Arts veterans and a fully remote studio.
