WarDucks creates content for mobile, AR and VR platforms, focusing currently on a new location-based AR game. The company was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. It plans to use the new funding to drive development of its location-based AR title and to expand the development team. Leadership includes CEO Nikki Lannen, formerly a senior member of Facebook’s gaming team. To support the project the studio has added gaming legend John Romero as a creative consultant and hired Doug Kaufman as lead game designer, with Lawrence Schick joining as lead narrative designer. The raise underscores the company’s focus on talent acquisition and product development rather than announced commercial metrics.
