Mountaintop Secures $30 Million In Funding For Its Competitive Tactical Shooter, Investors Include NBA Superstar Paul George & Content Creator Shroud

by Rainier on Jan. 31, 2024 @ 10:00 a.m. PST

With a dedication to being fully remote forever, Mountaintop is a new game studio ushering in a new era with its all-star team of international talent.

Mountaintop Studios is thrilled to share an early look at their debut title, a genre-defining tactical FPS, and some details about their new $30 million funding round. shroud is one of the premier names in the content creator space, where he’s carved out a space supported by his previous professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career. 

This funding round bolsters Mountaintop’s mission to create a competitive shooter that pushes the boundaries of the tactical shooter genre. Having creators like shroud, tarik, and CohhCarnage, who demonstrate a depth of gaming knowledge, among the investment group additionally affirms the studio’s concept and progress as they continue development.

The public can sign up to playtest the unannounced tactical shooter on the official Mountaintop website.

Below, we have brand new gameplay and map screenshots from the game, along with the official word from Nate Mitchell, Mountaintop Co-founder & CEO.


I’m thrilled to share that Mountaintop has raised $30M in additional funding from some of the best investors in the industry. This capital will help us deliver an even better experience for our players.

Zack Zaharis from Anthos Capital led the round. We've gotten to know Zack well over the last few years, and we're thrilled to add him to the board.

RX3 Growth Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Abstract, vgames, BoxGroup, and Spark Capital participated in the round. We’re also honored to welcome some incredible new angel investors, including shroud, tarik, iiTzTimmy, Zedd, CohhCarnage, Sacriel, and Paul George. Thanks for joining us on this journey.

When we started Mountaintop in 2020, we set out with one simple goal: bring players together through unforgettable new challenges. That goal remains at the heart of what we do every day.

Our commitment to being fully-remote — forever — has helped us assemble an all-star team of shooter veterans committed to our player-first philosophy. 

Building an outstanding game starts and ends with understanding what players want. We’re always listening to their feedback – that’s the path to building something that they love.

We’ve been playtesting regularly with an amazing group of players over the last few years. Want to get involved? Sign-up for the next upcoming playtest.

Or, if you’re interested in potentially joining the team at Mountaintop, we’d love to hear from you!

We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on. Thanks again for all the support.

Nate
