ZeniMax Media, parent media company to the likes of Arkane Studios, id Software and Bethesda Game Studios, looks to be opening a new Bethesda studio in Montreal, Quebec.
The goal is to expand Bethesda’s console, PC and mobile gaming repertoire.
“We’ve worked with some very talented developers in Montreal for a long time, and decided it was time to open a studio there,” said Todd Howard, Game Director and Executive Producer at Bethesda Game Studios. “It’s exciting to think about the new games we’ll be building together.”
Managed by Yves Lachance, as Studio Director, and with more than 40 developers on hand already, Bethesda Game Studios Montreal is probably going to come out swinging.
“We are thrilled to be launching the studio in Montreal and contributing our city’s great game-making talent to the kind of games that Bethesda Game Studios is known for,” said Lachance.
For the moment, they’re still looking to fill some rather important positions; we expect big things.
The Elder Scrolls: 2016 and 2017 can now be worked on at the same time.
