The study by Borderlands Gearbox Software has announced the training of a new study in Montreal, which says it will work on innovative entertainment projects. It is the second Canadian location of the study: opened an office in Quebec in 2015.

Gearbox Entertainment Company is looking ambitiously both internationally and national to grow our creative engine and meet the incredible demand that our clients have created by talents with our intellectual property, said Gearbox director Randy Pitchford.

The study is investing CAD $ 200 million in the study, almost $ 158 million, in the newly baptized Gearbox Studio Montreal. Its objective is to create 250 jobs in the city, raising its total staff in its North America locations to more than 850. Sébastien Caisse and Pierre-André Déry Códirigirán the office.

I know that the incredible community development community will welcome Gearbox Studio Montreal and its balance between the great muscle of the study and the culture of the local team as a necessary addition to the city, Pitchford said.

Montreal already houses locations for several of the most important names of games, including Ubisoft, EA, Bethesda and Square Enix.

Embracer Group acquired Gearbox on a $ 1.3 billion sale earlier this year, and this expansion is part of the Pitchford plans to bring Gearbox to new heights using the influx of capital.
