Episodic adventure game publisher Telltale Games has secured $7 million in a round of funding with private investors.
The
Back to the Future developer closed the Series C funding investment with IDG Ventures, Granite Ventures and a number of other investors. The company has said that the money will go towards upcoming product launches and building its existing infrastructure.
Dan Connors, CEO of Telltale Games, noted of the investment, "In the last 12 months, Telltale Games has successfully expanded its product line with the inclusion of several high-profile licensed IPs and we have achieved the company goal of supporting every viable digital gaming platform by incorporating iOS devices and social games."
"We now find ourselves extremely well positioned with the
Jurassic Park and
The Walking Dead franchises to reach a very large audience. This financing will allow us to aggressively launch these franchises worldwide on multiple platforms simultaneously."
Telltale revealed last year that
it has secured the rights to work on adventure game adaptations of both
Back to the Future -- now released -- and
Jurassic Park, the latter of which
will be made available as a retail disc.
The company is also working on games based around the graphic novels
Fables and the aforementioned
The Walking Dead.
