Ubisoft is setting up shop in South America, unveiling today that it has opened the country’s first game production studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Chosen because of its economy, as well as being a cultural hotspot for media and youth, the new studio will officially open early next month with a team of 20 developers.
“The cultural richness of Sao Paulo, coupled with its leading university network will bring a unique set of fresh talent to Ubisoft’s international development community,” said Christine Burgess-Quémard, executive director of worldwide studios at Ubisoft. “We look forward to tapping into the exceptional talent in South America in order to continue our global expansion.”
The new studio will be led by Bertand Chaverot, and will work with the company’s other studios on family-oriented titles for both home and portable consoles.
