Wavedash Games is an independent game publisher based in Oakland, California, founded by industry veterans from EA, Riot Games, Blizzard (and TinyCo per the company bio) and esports pioneers. The studio is developing an as-yet-untitled Platform Fighter that will be free to play with monetization through customization options inspired by League of Legends and Dota 2. Wavedash plans to launch the game on PC with extensive controller support and online play, and to rapidly release new characters and stages during the first year. The company emphasizes competitive, watchable, and community-driven design to position Platform Fighters as a premier global esport genre. Joe Hahn (Linkin Park) has joined as an advisor to support creative development, marketing, and community building. The company will use the new financing to grow its team and complete development of the Platform Fighter.
