Ubisoft Toronto to make next Splinter Cell game
Gamasutra has a great article up taking a look at the new Ubisoft Toronto studio, which includes moving development of the next Splinter Cell chapter there, as well as the challenges and opportunities inherent in going big in launching a new location.
“It’s a really nice position to be in,” she explained. “Instead of starting a studio and working on small projects, Nintendo DS or portables, we’re starting out of the gate with triple-A only.”
“The reason that I think that’s the right strategy is that it allows us to attract the best talent right off the bat. When you have the ambition to grow a studio from zero to 800 in 10 years, you have to get good people in the door from the start; people with a lot of experience. In my mind, that’s what’s going to allow you to make sure that the junior people that you bring in are trained properly, and if you want the right start I think that’s the only way to be successful.” [from Gamasutra]
Beyond Splinter Cell, a second smaller team will be working together with Ubisoft Montreal on another major franchise, but no details have been released yet on that one. As a Toronto Maple Leafs fan who’s seen more games in Montreal than his home town, there’s something satisfying about hearing the two cities working together on a gaming title.
Building On Conviction, the full article from Mathew Kumar (who we interviewed at TCAF this year), is well worth checking out.
