Ubisoft has had a pretty good footing in Canada with studios in Quebec, Vancouver and Montreal and are looking to expanding that footing even further.

Recently announced is Ubisoft Toronto a studio that will open in the heart of Ontario and create an additional 800 jobs, reportedly over the next decade.

It seems that Ubisoft Montreal’s CEO Yannis Mallat will be the main man behind Ubisoft Toronto and help the studio work on “Triple-A games” along with working with the film production industry which is prominent in Ontario.
