Ex-GTA Developer's Studio Raises $110M for New Gaming Projects

Build a Rocket Boy, led by Leslie Benzies, plans to launch an immersive gaming platform and a story-driven video game series.

Build a Rocket Boy, a game development studio founded by former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies, has raised $110 million in a Series D funding round led by RedBird Capital Partners.
The funding will be used to launch three major products: Everywhere, an open-world immersive gaming platform; MindsEye, a story-driven action-adventure video game series; and Arcadia, a suite of user-generated content (UGC) creation tools.
Everywhere is described as a community-driven game that allows players to create their own worlds, similar to Roblox or Minecraft.
MindsEye is a futuristic game set in a world filled with corporate and government conspiracies.
Despite the significant funding, Build a Rocket Boy has not yet revealed a release date for Everywhere or MindsEye.
