Co-founded by games industry veterans Ryan Hanft-Murphy, Jordan Arnold, Rex Downham and Tony Tewes, the team brings a wealth of experience from King, Zynga, EA, and Disney. The Lightfox founding team worked together at Z2, a Seattle mobile gaming studio acquired by King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We believe there is huge demand for compelling synchronous, real-time competitive experience on mobile, just as there is on pc and console. However, the market is currently underserved with few offerings designed for short session mobile play; we believe the Lightfox offering captures incredibly compelling mechanics and gameplay typically found only in much longer session core platform games.<\/p><cite>Gregory Milken, Founder and Managing Partner at March Capital<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Super Battle League is an innovative 3v3 real-time mixed PvE and PvP game where two teams race to see who can beat the boss first. To date, mobile midcore games have struggled with attracting and retaining a wider casual audience. Real-time multiplayer games like Brawl Stars and \u2018battle royale\u2019 games have been successful in offering midcore players a competitive outlet on mobile but haven&#8217;t drawn in a more casual audience. Lightfox Games believes they can capitalize on this underserved part of the market and expand the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another angle of exploration for the company is the rapidly growing esports and mobile focused content creation scene. Few mobile only or mobile first games have yet to reach or sustain the heights on Twitch or YouTube that console and PC games have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newly raised funds will be used to grow the team and bring their first product, Super Battle League, to market.
