Square Eidos Expands in Montreal
Square Enix is expanding its presence in Montreal after the success of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the future demands of the Hitman franchise.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution developer Eidos Montreal will receive an influx of 100 new employees and updated accommodations, and the studio will embark on a new triple-A project to go along with the Thief game it's already working on.
Elsewhere in Montreal, the company is also opening up the Square Eidos Montreal studio in 2012, which will create 150 jobs and help IO Interactive on the Hitman franchise.
Given the frequent and necessary hand-wringing about the future of some Japanese companies and their ability to appeal to Western audiences, it's great to see Square Enix thriving in this half of the world.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
