Gerhard added, “It's truly an honour and a privilege to join forces with Leslie and the legendary team at Build A Rocket Boy at such a formative time for the games industry. This next chapter of our combined studios will deliver on that promise as well as disrupt the industry by democratising premium game development. The core team at PlayFusion has been working together for nearly two decades and we are excited to be at the forefront of ushering in a new era of gaming.”

Earlier this year, Build A Rocket Boy raised $110 million in a Series D funding round led by RedBird Capital, with investments from NetEase Games and Galaxy Interactive.
