The studio has launched a new division.
Quantic Dream, the developer of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human, revealed they're launching a new studio in Montreal, Canada.
Stéphane D’Astous, formerly head of Eidos Montreal and founder of Square Enix Montreal, will be General Manager of Quantic Dream Montreal. Yohan Cazaux, ex Project Lead Game Designer on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, joined the team as Gameplay Director for Quantic Dream’s next projects.
"The opening of Quantic Dream Montreal is an important step in our development," said Guillaume de Fondau-mière, Co-CEO of Quantic Dream and Chairman of Quantic Dream Montreal. "The implementation of several new projects leads us to engage a major recruitment program for 2021 in all disciplines. Quantic Dream is opening a new office in Montreal to quickly build a ‘human-sized’ team, made up of experts from the region. We plan to recruit most of the team this year with the creation of approximately 50 positions by the end of 2021."
"It is a great pleasure for me to join Quantic Dream and to found this new studio in Montreal," added Stéphane D’Astous, General Manager of Quantic Dream Montreal. "Quantic Dream’s productions stand out in many ways and in particular for their high level of quality. Our goal is to attract experienced talent at Quantic Dream Montreal, from Canada and the United States, and in particular designers, programmers and animators, who will work closely with our teams in Paris to develop AAA titles on PC and next-generation consoles."
