STOCKHOLM, Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) games company, Resolution Games, today announced it has closed a $7.5 million series B round of funding led by MizMaa Ventures. The round also includes new investors from venture capital firms GP Bullhound and Fly Forever, as well as industry thought leader David Helgason, the founder of Unity.
