Thanks to significant funding, Resurgens Gaming is initiating a new video game accelerator along with a publishing wing.
Based on a press statement, the
Atlanta-based gaming company
secured a significant sum, reportedly reaching seven-figure status, from various backers to establish a new initiative named Ghost Launchpad. This accelerator aims to utilize Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN), a tool designed for crafting and deploying game content straight onto the Fortnite platform, with the objective of enabling creators to reduce the duration needed to transition their games from idea phase to release.
We’ve witnessed a swift transition where companies are using video games and the creator economy to connect with consumers,” stated Todd Harris, CEO of Resurgents, in the announcement. “By incorporating Ghost Launchpad, we at Resurgens can maintain our leadership role in this domain. Adding video game creation and distribution to our suite of creator-focused content and live experiences equips us to more effectively support both established specialized and non-specialized brands as they immerse themselves in the burgeoning sector of media and entertainment.
According to the release, entertainment executives along with prominent family offices and funds in the southeast pitched in money to make the launch possible, including the family office of Atlanta Hawks player Trae Young; Tammy Hurt, the chair of the Recording Academy; and Matt Woomer, founder of Blue Mammoth Games.
Harris chose not to comment on the total sum of money that Resurgens obtained.
The accelerator will be located at Resurgens headquarters in Atlanta and led by Brian Grayson, former vice president at Hi-Rez Studios.
We view UEFN as a groundbreaking game development tool and Fortnite as an evolving distribution platform,” Grayson stated. “Through early collaboration with skilled developers, we can leverage our sector expertise and insights to expedite their progress via swift refinement and deployment phases, enabling their titles to reach market quicker than ever.
Launched in 2019, Resurgens also has ownership of Skillshot Media, a firm focused on live streaming, along with Ghost Gaming, a community-oriented gaming group.
