Ubi To Open New Quebec Studio

Posted by Zonk on from the why-have-one-when-you-can-have-two-at-twice-the-price? dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has word that Ubisoft is planning the construction of a second studio in the Canadian province of Quebec. The money for the construction is likely partially the result of the previously announced alliance between the Quebecois government and the French software developer. From the article: "Ubisoft will invest $75 million Canadian (more than $60 million US) in the project over the next five years. The new studio will employ some 200 designers, animators and programmers."

    I don't think we are going to see any major game developers opening more studios in the US. It costs way too much.
