Ace Games, a Turkish mobile gaming company established by a previous Peak Games co-founder, has raised a $7 million seed funding round led by Actera Group. Co-investment has actually originated from San Francisco’s NFX. Previous video gaming entrepreneurs Kristian Segerstrale, Alexis Bonte and Kaan Gunay also got involved. Firat Ileri is a previous financier from the pre-seed round.
The business runs two studios, one concentrated on casual and one on “hyper-casual” video games.
Co-founded by CEO Hakan Bas, the former co-founder and COO at Peak Games, Ace Games has had some success on the U.S. iOS Shop with its hyper-casual title, “Mix and Consume.”
In a statement, Bas said: “Ace’s primary focus is in fact the casual ‘hybrid puzzle’ video game that we have actually been working on for a while now. Our hyper-casual studio helps the primary studio in numerous aspects like training talent, coming up with innovative video game mechanics and marketing concepts, producing money, and creating user base.” Ace’s casual title is to be launched late-summer this year and the global launch is expected in early 2022.
Peak Games, Gram Games and Rollic Games were all gotten by Zynga, showing that Turkey can producing good exits for video gaming start-ups.
VCs such as Index, Balderton, Makers and Griffin have actually all made M&A deals with Dream Games, Bigger Games and Spyke Games.
