Polish studio Dark Passenger, founded by former developers of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, has secured $3 million in funding through a seed round. The investment was led by The Games Fund, with additional backing from Blite Fund. The funds will support the development of Dark Passenger's debut project, an unannounced first-person multiplayer stealth-action game set in an original Feudal Japan-inspired universe.

The studio, which currently employs around 30 people, plans to grow its team to over 60 by the time the game launches. Dark Passenger was established two years ago by ex-CD Projekt Red staff, including co-founders Jakub Ben and Paweł Kuleta. Marcin Michalski, a senior environment artist from The Witcher 3, is also part of the team, along with other industry veterans from studios like People Can Fly, Flying Wild Hog, Reikon, and RealTime Warriors.

"While the multiplayer landscape is more exciting than ever, we still see vast untapped potential," said Jakub Ben, CEO of Dark Passenger. "It takes imagination, trust, and vision to fully understand our direction, and these are the qualities we found in The Games Fund."
