Geekwire recently interviewed Meteor Entertainment's CEO Mark Long about the company's latest round of funding which raised $18M for HAWKEN.

Geekwire said:

To make sure the Hawken launch takes off as planned, Long and his 75-person team have pulled in $18 million in fresh funding from the likes of Rustic Canyon Partners, Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital. The latter two investors are noteworthy because they were backers of League of Legends publisher Riot, which sold to China’s Tencent for more than $400 million last year.

Yeah, we're still around 25. Collectively (Adhesive + Meteor) we're about 75.

That's a nice lil' C-Class piggy bank! Hopefully it is enough to catapult the game into the spotlight and garner enough revenue to pay back investors and give back to the studio for further development. Good luck to you all!

Nice! Now use that money well!

[The_Silencer]

These are good news, indeed!

I'm feeling very glad for you guys there at AG and ME. That's big money!

P.S. At the same time, makes me feel somehow a bit more depressed due that the project in which I was about to work next week has been put on hold. But hey!.. let's be positive and congrats once more!
