Shrapnel Secures $19.5M Investment for Global Launch

Seattle-based game studio Neon Machine has raised $19.5 million in funding to support its global expansion of the award-winning FPS, Shrapnel. The investment comes from Gala Games and existing investors Griffin Gaming Partners and Polychain Capital. The funds will fuel the game’s development and preparation for launch in China later in 2025, followed by an open release in early 2026. This is a significant step forward as Shrapnel transitions to Gala Games’ ecosystem, which is known for its strong community support and innovative approach to player-driven development.
