Founded after the closure of King.com’s Singapore office (formerly NonStop Games) when Activision bought King, Mighty Bear Games is focusing on the next generation of massively multiplayer online games and bringing desktop gaming to mobile. Created by the cream of gaming talent from King, Ubisoft, EA, LucasArts, Disney, Gameloft and Jagex, Mighty Bear Games earlier this year announced a pre-seed round of $775,000 from Rocket Internet’s Global Founders Capital fund.
