Overview
- W4 Games announced the $18 million Series B on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, saying the round was led by Tencent and brings the company’s total funding to $33 million.
- Other investors in the round include OSS Capital, LUX, Naval Ravikant, and the family office of Tobias Lütke, the company said.
- W4 signed a multi-year strategic partnership with Tencent that will focus on promoting Godot to Asian studios, localizing the engine, and running go-to-market and ecosystem support programs.
- W4 plans to use the new funds to expand its international headcount by about 50 percent with roughly 10–15 hires planned in Asia and to build enterprise features such as console porting, multiplayer and XR support.
- W4 framed the push as a response to rapid Godot growth on Steam and in revenue-generating titles, and the company says wider Asian adoption could speed enterprise use of the open-source engine and increase competition with larger engine vendors.
