“I’m really delighted to be joining Eidos who deserve their worldwide recognition for some fantastic games. I look forward to establishing a brand new studio that will continue this legacy and develop AAA, next-generation titles that will demonstrate once again the expertise and knowledge we have in Montreal,” said D’Astous.

The SCi Entertainment-owned games publisher has also opened two other studios in the past year: Eidos Sweden and Hungary; they also have other internal studios, including Crystal Dynamics and Danish based IO Interactive.

Montreal is also host to other large-scale studios from publishers such as Ubisoft and EA, as well as others.
