Ghost Ship gets Coffee Stain as an investor in the company.

Ghost Ship Studios, a Copenhagen, Denmark-based gaming studio announced raising an undisclosed amount of funding from Coffee Stain Studios, which acquired a minority equity position in the company. Previously, the company received outside investment from Capnova, in September 2016.

Ghost Ship was founded in 2016 by a group of danish industry veterans including Henrik Edwards, Mikkel Martin Pedersen and Søren Lundgaard (CEO) with the objective of creating co-op experiences. The first game of the studio, Deep Rock Galactic will be published by Coffee Stain Publishing, and is expected to be launched in 2017.

Anton Westbergh, CEO of Coffee Stain:
“This is the start of something extremely exciting. Coffee Stain has for some time looked for good ways of expanding, and we see this as a perfect way. The crew sailing Ghost Ship will complement us well with their experience, and in return we will bring our goat-minds to their table!"

Søren Lundgaard, CEO of Ghost Ship Games
“Right after my first meeting with Coffee Stain at Dreamhack in Sweden, I knew they would be the perfect business “co-op player” for us. Coffee Stain are developers by heart, but has again and again proven their sea-worthiness in the international games industry. This is going to be an amazing journey!”
