Eidos continues expansion of development studio (0)
Eidos Montreal is currently looking to fill several new job openings as they prepare to form the second of three planned development teams. These openings range from Senior Network Programmer to Technical Librarian/Intraweb Support, with an emphasis on senior and artistic positions. If working in the game industry is something that appeals to you or someone you know then this is an excellent and rare opportunity. It’s not often that a studio creates a development team from scratch. The full list of job openings and descriptions have been posted on eidosmontreal.com, along with all the necessary information for applying.
It was announced last year that Deus Ex 3 would be the first game to be developed by this new Montreal studio. The original Deus Ex, released for PC in 2000, is a critically acclaimed classic with a strong following among gamers and developers. It was fairly obvious at the time that a large part of the reason the Deus Ex IP was chosen for this new studio was to attract talent that simply wasn’t available in Quebec or Montreal.
The second game, to be developed by the team they are in the process of hiring, has not been officially announced yet, but some hints previously appearing on the Eidos Montreal website have basically confirmed that it will be Thief 4. The Thief series began on the PC in 1998, and, like Deus Ex, is an extremely popular IP that can be used to attract developers from around the world (or competing neighbours like EA and Ubisoft).
