Funcom opening game development studio in Montreal (8)

September 1st, 2009 · by michel · Jobs, video games

Norwegian based game publisher/developer Funcom is the latest multinational corporation to take advantage of the tax credits and other provincial government incentives offered to game companies setting up shop in Quebec. Their new Montreal studio was created with help from Investissement Quebec and, according to the CBC, is expected to create 100-150 new jobs in the next 18 months. There are not yet any Montreal specific job postings on Funcom’s website.

Funcom are perhaps best known for their MMORPGs Age of Conan and Anarchy Online. They are currently working on an expansion for Age of Conan and a brand new MMO called The Secret World. Their press release states that this new studio will be involved with both of these projects.
