The Finnish Critical Force has received $6.3 million in investments, which will be invested in the company’s flagship project — the Critical Ops mobile shooter with competitive gameplay.

Critical Force received funds from the local grant organization Business Finland. The funding will also go towards the creation and launch of a “scalable automated production platform” that will help Critical Ops develop and test games.
“Thanks to the investments, we will be able to show that we have really become one of the leading manufacturers of esports games for mobile,” said Veli—Pekka Piirainen, CEO of Critical Force.
