The company also plans to expand its team and work on new games on different platforms.

The developer, Million Victories, currently has 30 employees, and co-founders Benoît Ducrest and Céline Allary say they plan to hire on a new CTO and CMO following the most recent round of funding.

Pierre Planche, partner at Griffin, said of the investment, “The Million Victories team, led by Benoît and Céline, have consistently delivered on and exceeded our expectations since we led their seed round. We are confident that this new round of funding will allow Million Lords to establish leadership in the 4X strategy category.”
