<div style="margin: 5px 5% 10px 5%;"><img src="https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ex-riot-devs-launch-multiplayer-game-studio-odyssey-interactive-in-canada.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="" alt="" /></div><div><p>A team of game makers who used to work at Riot Games have raised roughly $6 million in seed funding to open Odyssey Interactive, a new Canadian game studio that aims to build competitive multiplayer games.</p>
<p>Notably, the company says its looking to hire folks interested in building those sorts of experiences for mobile devices as it spins up operations in the Kitchener-Waterloo area of Ontario. </p>
<p>Odyssey’s founding members all have prior experience working at Riot on <em>League of Legends </em>and <em>Teamfight Tactics.</em> Now that they’ve raised $6 million from investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Golden Ventures they (according to a <a href="https://www.gamasutra.com/view/pressreleases/368512/ODYSSEY_INTERACTIVE__WE_ARE_MAKING_GAMES.php">press release</a>) plan to “get the studio off the ground, hire a team of rockstars, and take a few stabs at making some hopefully pretty awesome games.”</p>
