This investment is in addition to the funds of private investors including the Japanese company Amuse Capital Inc, headed by Hayao Nakayma and the capital risk fund Spinnaker, all committed to Virgin PLAY’s expansion.

We believe that Virgin PLAY has great potential and that it comes with a solid infrastructure to take advantage of the growing tendencies of the market and consequently, achieve the consolidation that we’re expecting the sector to produce”.

Tim Chaney, Virgin PLAY President said, “The Axon Capital investment comes at a piv-otal point in our fast-track evolution from Iberian territory distributor to worldwide videogame publisher. It provides a fifth acceleration gear both in terms of short -term funding and strategic contribution from key individuals with acute knowledge and track records of building businesses in the media sector and beyond”.
