Square Enix has invested an undisclosed amount in BetaDwarf

Game developer BetaDwarf, located in Copenhagen, has received an undisclosed investment from Square Enix. This funding aims to fast-track the progress of BetaDwarf's forthcoming game, Vaultbreakers, and enhance the studio's production capabilities while continuing their focus on development driven by community feedback.
Hideaki Uehara, Square Enix's general manager for business development, expressed that the company seeks outstanding games and skilled development teams. "After meeting with BetaDwarf and understanding their mission and enthusiasm, we chose to invest to help them achieve their vision globally," Uehara stated.
Steffen Kabbelgaard, CEO of BetaDwarf, remarked on the partnership, noting that collaboration with Square Enix provides substantial access to expertise and resources. He mentioned the additional backing is a significant advantage, especially as production is already advanced, elevating their project to a potential success story rather than a journey fraught with uncertainties.
Established in 2012, BetaDwarf is recognized for games such as Forced, Forced: Showdown, and Minion Masters. Previously, the studio secured investment from London Venture Partners in April 2019, and later raised $6.6 million in a funding round in September of the same year.
