BioWare now hiring in Montreal (7)
Gamasutra and GameDaily BIZ are reporting that Edmonton-based BioWare is expanding to Montreal. BioWare is best known for their wildly successful roleplaying games, such as Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Mass Effect. Last year the company was acquired by Electronic Arts.
This new BioWare Montreal team will consist of approximately 30 people, with half of those being brought in from Edmonton. They will be supporting the Edmonton studio in development of Mass Effect 2, due for release in early 2010. There are already a few job postings on BioWare’s Montreal jobs page, with more likely to follow in the coming weeks and months.
Barring any further global financial disasters, I fully expect this ‘expeditionary force’ to eventually grow into a full-fledged studio, working on its own games independent of both EA and BioWare Edmonton. For the time being, however, they are taking a very cautious and thrifty approach, by starting small and moving into EA Montreal’s offices to take advantage of their existing infrastructure.

Great news, welcome to Bioware, here’s hoping that they’ll get to do some great work on Mass Effect 2.
