NaturalMotion Games Raises $11M From Benchmark For 3D, Realistically Animated Mobile Games

NaturalMotion, which makes very photo-realistic, animated games like My Horse, just raised $11 million from Benchmark Capital and got mobile gaming veteran Mitch Lasky on its board. What makes NaturalMotion stand out from many other chart-topping gaming companies is just the sheer quality of the titles. They tap into the same kind of care-taking impulse that many other casual, resource-management games do, but with much better, anatomically accurate 3D animations. "We're just about to witness the end of Wave 1 in iOS gaming," said chief executive Torsten Reil. "A lot of mobile-social game are obviously 2G resource management games. They're very similar. But devices are now at point where we can give a much richer user experience. That's where we believe the disruption is going to happen."
