International video game developer company Ubisoft — known for games like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Rainbox Six, and Assassin’s Creed — announced that it will open a new studio in the Philippines. It will be located at the De La Salle University (DLSU) Science and Technology Campus at the Laguna Technopark in Santa Rosa City, Laguna.
“The new studio, Ubisoft Philippines, will be the second production house for the company in Southeast Asia (SEA). Ubisoft Philippines will be an extension of Ubisoft Singapore, the company’s first studio in SEA when it opened in 2008. The Philippines-based studio will open in the second quarter of 2016,” reports Pao Bago in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The report noted: “Filipino developer and five-year Ubisoft Singapore Veteran Chip Go will manage the Philippine branch. A number of founding team members will move from Singapore to train Ubisoft Philippines’ staff. The new branch will focus on collaboration and development of its upcoming AAA console games for the global developer.”
Go revealed, “Ubisoft Philippines will be recruiting 50 new team members this year, from artists to programmers, designers to project managers.”
