Pune-based gaming studio SuperGaming has secured funding from Bandai Namco Entertainment via its 021 Fund.

It is pertinent to note that the Japanese gaming giant Bandai Namco’s investment ticket size ranges between $75,000 and $3.75 Mn.

With this, Bandai Namco Entertainment doubled down on SuperGaming after the latter secured initial investment in March 2023. 

The 021 Fund aims to create new entertainment experiences and looks at India as a key growth market, as per the company’s statement. 

“Bandai Namco doubling down on their investment is a strong vote of confidence in our mission and our team —to build world-class games and gaming infrastructure from India for India and the world. This renewed partnership validates our commitment to shaping the future of gaming, not just in India but on a global stage.”  SuperGaming cofounder and CEO Roby John said. 

Bandai Namco is behind the titles like Elden Ring, Dark Souls Trilogy, One Piece and PAC-MAN. It launched the fund 021 in April 2022 which now sees potential in regions such as Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, besides India. 

SuperGaming in October last year announced the launch of its made-in-India battle royale game, Indus for both Android and iOS platforms users. Indus has amassed more than 6 Mn downloads. 

Founded in 2017 by John, Navneet Waraich, Sanket Nadhani, Christelle D’cruz and Sreejit J, SuperGaming is building mobile games such as MaskGun, Silly Royale, and Tower Conquest. It has also built SuperPlatform, a cloud-based live-ops game development engine. 

SuperPlatform provides a SaaS-based solution for game developers, allowing them to build and manage games seamlessly while integrating with popular game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine, the statement said. 

The gaming studio counts Akatsuki Entertainment Technology Fund, Skycatcher, BAce Capital, Dream Incubator and others among its investors.
