TORONTO, May 22, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Sinn Studio Inc., a renowned XR studio is thrilled
to announce the successful closure of a $2.5
million funding round. This investment propels the studio
into the development of the world's first real-time Player vs
Player (PvP) VR combat game, leveraging groundbreaking spatial
computing technologies.
The raise propels Sinn Studio into the
development of the world's first real-time Player vs Player (PvP)
VR combat game.
Fueled by a distinguished group of investors led by Hartmann
Capital, with contributions from Boost VC, Republic, Alumni
Ventures, Mana Ventures, MetaVision, and a number of industry
angels such as Chris Ye of Uken
Games, Sinn Studio is set to revolutionize the multiplayer combat
genre.
The forthcoming free-to-play title is driven by Sinn Studio's
proprietary "Combat Engine" and is supported by the innovative
"Large Intent Model" (LIM), a neural network specially designed to
discern and learn from the intricate subtleties of human motion
during combat. This development marks a significant leap forward,
solving some of the industry's most complex challenges in spatial
computing.
Alek Sinn, Co-Founder & CEO
of Sinn Studio Inc., expressed his enthusiasm and gratitude: "We
spent seven years surviving the ups and downs of VR as a
bootstrapped company, waiting for that industry-defining moment,
and the right partners to commit to our first fundraise. Today,
we're incredibly grateful to Hartmann Capital and everyone else who
joined our seed round for their belief in our mission to redefine
the future of combat in this exciting new era of spatial computing.
The technology we're building will power incredible first-party
combat experiences, and one day, our favourite IPs."
Felix Hartmann, Managing Partner
of Hartmann Capital, who has joined the Sinn Studio Board, shares
the team's vision, "Virtual Reality transforms experiences beyond
the capabilities of traditional 2D screens. Combat, both a
fundamental aspect of human competition and one of its oldest
sports, is poised for a groundbreaking evolution in VR. Sinn Studio
is at the forefront of this transformation and is setting the stage
for immersive combat to become a pivotal part of both sports and
cultural landscapes."
Sinn Studio has captured the attention of the gaming community
with its award-winning and best-selling title, Swordsman, acclaimed
as a "Most Popular Game" of 2023 on Quest and a top 10 best seller
on PlayStation VR. The studio, which started with a single
developer in 2017, now boasts a full-time team of 30 and is poised
for further success with its innovative approach to single-player
and multiplayer melee combat.
The launch of their PvP combat game heralds a new chapter in the
evolution of virtual reality gaming, blending the inherent fun of
social interaction with the competitive spirit of combat. Sinn
Studio is committed to offering gamers an unparalleled experience,
setting a new standard for engagement and realism in the VR
space.
