Former Grand Theft Auto series producer Leslie Benzies has raised over $40.8 million for his in-development sci-fi open world game, Everywhere.

According to a report in The Telegraph, Benzies’ studio Build a Rocket Boy has succeeded in securing investment in the upcoming game from a variety of sources, including from Chinese tech company Netease (who has been making a lot of big gaming investments lately).

As per consultancy firm Beauhurst, Build a Rocket Boy’s latest funding round attracted over $40 million worth of investments.

Benzies worked on the Grand Theft Auto series at Rockstar North until 2016, when he left the company and took legal action against the studio and its parent company, Take-Two, claiming $150 million in unpaid royalties.

We’re aiming to offer a huge variety of game modes and styles that not only tell our stories but also enable players to live in the identities and adventures they most want to explore.”.
