Seismic Games is a Los Angeles social game studio formed by veterans of Pandemic Studios. The studio intends to build "next generation" social games that combine social mechanics with traits of traditional video games—more immersive, emotionally engaging experiences anchored in a believable world. Its first title, set to debut in the first quarter, will be character-focused and customizable with narrative-based gameplay and an emphasis on user-generated and real-time content. Seismic plans branded and professional entertainment partnerships to connect online and offline marketing opportunities to game audiences. The company has raised $2 million in funding from DFJ Frontier and venture capitalist Tom Matlack, with roughly a dozen additional entertainment-industry investors participating. The studio has more than 20 employees and is led by Greg Borrud, with co-founders including Eric Gewirtz and Chris Miller.
