Video Game Studio Aberratic Raises €750,000 Investment to Develop "Land of Symbiosis"
Liège, Belgium – July 15, 2025 – Aberratic, a Walloon game development studio based in Liège, has secured a €750,000 investment round led by Leansquare, with participation from ForsVC and Wallimage Entreprises. The funding will accelerate the development of Land of Symbiosis, Aberratic's debut title and a bold new entry in the survival action RPG genre.
Founded in 2022 by technical artists Jonathan Gillard and Jonas Delnaye, Aberratic began as a passion project rooted in a shared childhood dream. Since then, the studio has evolved into a small but focused team of 6 people based in Liège, with additional support from freelance collaborators. Their first project, Land of Symbiosis, entered pre-production in early 2024 and is now set to move into full development.
"Receiving support from investors like Leansquare, ForsVC, and Wallimage Entreprises is a major step forward," said Jonas Delnaye, co-founder of Aberratic. "This funding allows us to scale our development and bring our vision to life in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. We truly appreciate their continued care and commitment to the creative tech and gaming sector. We're hopeful this kind of support will keep enabling ambitious studios to grow sustainably in the years to come."
Investment Partnership
Bertrand Joiret, Senior Investment Manager at Leansquare, commented: "Aberratic demonstrates a rare level of strategic maturity and is deeply rooted in the Walloon gaming ecosystem. Their focused approach—specializing in a specific game type that allows for the reuse of graphic, technical, and artistic assets—positions them for sustainable growth. This investment also aligns perfectly with Leansquare's ambition to boost the entertainment industry in the Liège region by supporting creative ventures with solid business foundations."
About Land of Symbiosis
Land of Symbiosis is an online cooperative (or solo) survival and action RPG set on a procedurally generated alien planet. Players assume the role of an A.S.T.R.A., a high-tech protector stranded in a hostile world after a mysterious electromagnetic event. They must explore unknown biomes, craft and customize equipment, build defensive bases, and survive against creatures drawn to the emissions of their technology.
"This team combines artistic vision with technical depth," said Eric Diepeveen, Managing Partner at ForsVC. "Their background in teaching and production gives them a grounded, pragmatic approach. We're excited to support the development of a new IP that aims to offer something fresh in the survival RPG space."
