Scopely has attracted $340 million in investments. This is almost twice as much as planned

Mobile publisher Scopely has closed a Series E funding round, during which it raised $340 million. Moreover, just a month ago, the company intended to “raise” only $200 million.

The rest of the round passed without surprises. As expected, the investors were Wellington Management and NewView Capital. They were also joined by TSG Consumer Partners, Canada Pension Plan Investments, BlackRock, D1, Battery Ventures, Eldridge, Declaration Partners, Moore Strategic Ventures and five other funds.

Javier Ferreira, co-founder of Scopely, noted that the money raised will be used to buy gaming companies and purchase new mobile IP.

A few days ago, the publisher just made a deal with the Spanish developer Genjoy, specializing in the match-3 genre.
