CyberSports, publisher of MMO Football Superstars, has raised £4.3 million in a round of funding to accelerate the development of the game and push it into new territories around the world.
The game allows players not only to control their character's actions on the pitch, but also to live the associated lifestyle of a well-paid sportsman off it. A boxed, retail version of the free-to-play client was released by CyberSports last year.
"The funds were raised mainly from existing investors and this demonstrates their ongoing confidence in what we're doing," said CyberSports CEO Malcolm Clark .
"They recognise that we have an original and unique product which is proving to have enormous global appeal."
