Our take

Founded in 2016 by a pair of former Zynga and EA game developers, Manticore Games is best known for being the developer of Core, a heavily funded and increasingly popular game creation and discovery platform for iOS and the Metaverse.

In theory, Core is fairly similar to the likes of Roblox and RecRoom, but is geared much more towards “older” users aged fourteen and above. Despite only launching in 2021, Core’s numbers thus far have been extremely impressive, with three million players in the first year alone as well as tens of thousands of games and creators.

Considering that the Metaverse gaming market is expanding, it’s easy to see why investors are pouring money into the space. Manticore Games has benefited greatly from this, and having already expanded its headcount to triple figures, is showing no signs of slowing down while the market is this lucrative.
