Ant Workshop has secured a "significant financial investment" that will enable the development of new titles, including one it hopes to bring to market next year.
Chroma Ventures, the investment arm of Dundee-based 4J Studios, has invested a seven-figure sum in the BAFTA-nominated games studio based in Edinburgh, which should allow it to devote more time and resource to developing Dungeon Golf, a concept the team recently created.
Ant Workshop was founded in 2015 by Tony Gowland, a games designer with more than 20 years’ experience, who has held senior positions at Rockstar Games - where he worked on Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption - and ActivisionBlizzard, which Microsoft acquired this month for $70bn.
