Gardens Interactive is a distributed videogame studio building lush, living multiplayer worlds where players can socialize, roleplay, and adventure together.
Gardens is betting that a deeply social, persistent “strandbox” can make real human connection and player-driven worldbuilding a major form of entertainment, rather than treating multiplayer as single-player experiences placed side by side. Its more-than-$35-million Series B is intended to fund the launch and live operations of its debut game, giving the studio runway to build and evolve the world for years while it pursues that underserved category.
