| If you assume with unrelenting campaigns and expansions Funcom has done enough to further develop its MMO business by far, you are wrong. At least, Funcome doesn't think so. In the light of a press release, Age of Conan developer Funcom will expand its offices to Montréal, Canada where a new development studio will be established, aiming at working on both existing and in-development Funcom properties.
Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas said in the press release:
"Montréal has established itself as one of the world's most important locations for video game production, and we are looking forward to taking part in that success. In addition to strengthening our North American presence, the new studio will take advantage of the great incentive programs offered by the Québec region, incentives that makes Montréal one of the most cost effective locations in the world for developing MMO games. This will in turn allow us to better balance our costs, making it possible for us to continue to expand our investments into the MMO segment." |
