'Fortnite" creator Epic Games Inc. raised $2 billion, the most for any gaming company in two decades, from investors including Sony Group Corp.
The funding means that Epic is now valued at $31.5 billion, after Sony and Kirkbi A/S, the holding company of the Kirk Kristiansen family, put in $1 billion apiece, according to a statement.
The company, which also counts Walt Disney Co. and China's Tencent Holdings Ltd. among its investors, was valued at $28.7 billion as of last April. Its chief executive, Tim Sweeney, remains the company's controlling shareholder.
