The funding will be used to advance their upcoming untitled project, a cross-platform social MMO slated for early access later this year. Founded in late 2021 by former Kukouri executives Kim Soares and Mikko Kähärä, Social First is a studio of 20 industry veterans with experience from Ubisoft, Rovio, and Paradox Interactive.
