Participated · Seed · Sep 2024
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Tokyo, NEIGHBOR builds original games and branded metaverse activations on Fortnite Creative and Unreal Editor for Fortnite. The studio first gained notice with a haunted-house world promoting Netflix’s “JUNJI ITO MANIAC,” which drew more than 1.2 million visitors and earned praise from Epic Games. NEIGHBOR has since released an original Fortnite title that has attracted over 2.5 million players and regularly sees 3,000+ concurrent users, demonstrating its ability to surface content through Fortnite’s recommendation algorithms. The company’s core strategy is to export Japanese intellectual property—anime, manga, food, music and more—to Fortnite’s predominantly North American Gen-Z audience. Its global development team collaborates with creators worldwide to secure Epic’s Picks placements and sustain community engagement. Industry recognition includes a 2024 NYX Game Awards Silver for Character Design and Gold for Best Metaverse Game. Recent seed capital positions the company to scale additional Japanese IP integrations and expand its player base.
