Scandinavian massively multiplayer game specialist FunCom has received 5 million Euro of new funding from Nordic Venture Partners.

Funcom current operations the science fiction themed MMORPG Anarchy Online, which was launched in 2001. This new funding will be used for the company’s launch of the upcoming PC-based massively multiplayer title, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

While the mobile game industry has seen an inflow of funding from the financial markets over the past several years, the fixed gaming industry is still largely dominated by funding from the top tier publishers. FunCom’s continued success and ability to raise capital demonstrates that the same is possible for fixed developers.
