Red 5 – Online video game studio gets cash infusion
By
Red 5 Studios, an online video-game developer led by members of the team behind the wildly popular “World of Warcraft” game, said on Monday it has raised $18.5 million in venture capital.
Mark Kern, Red 5’s chief executive and former team leader on “World of Warcraft,” said his California-based game studio will create original games for online game operators and distributors — much as Pixar Animation Studios did in the movie world with its animated films such as “Toy Story” and “Finding Nemo”. Red 5 is already working on a massively multiplayer online game for Webzen Inc. The South Korean company is financing the development of the game, which Webzen will distribute.
