The round also includes new investors from venture capital firms GP Bullhound andFly Forever, as well as industry thought leader David Helgason, the founder of Unity.

The company recently launched the first-ever third-party developer app, Angry Birds FPS: First Person Slingshot, on Magic Leap.

Leung, co-founder and general partner of MizMaa Ventures.

“Every one of our investors shares our incredible enthusiasm about the future of visual computing. With the amount of interest we’re seeing from the industry around our titles, coupled with the exciting new platforms like the Oculus Quest coming to market, we foresee larger volumes of players and a viable multiplayer market. Needless to say, these are exciting times,” added Palm.
