Ubisoft opened a new studio in Montreal

Today Ubisoft is one of the largest and most successful gaming publishers. But despite this, the company seems to be even thinking to rest on the laurels. Instead, she prefers systematically to master new platforms and market segments, which requires a lot of investment and workforce. For the last item, the French, probably, are now experiencing the least, because they recently opened another huge studio in Montreal.

The extension was caused primarily by the speed of nextgen-consoles, as well as the rapid growth of the popularity of mobile platforms. Over the next seven years, the publisher plans to hide in a new branch of 500 specialists and invest $ 373 million in its development. Thus, by 2020, only in Quebec Ubisoft will provide work 3500 people.

“The speedy arrival of the following generation consoles, the growth of the market share of the mobile platforms, an increase in the popularity of social networks, as well as the establishment of direct dialogue between developers and players – all this contributes to the transformation of the interactive entertainment industry. The opening of the new studio will provide us with the necessary resources to achieve the goals “, – commented on the Announcement Director-General Ubisoft Yves Gilmo (Yves Guillemot).
