Krafton announced the opening of another AAA game development studio in Montreal, Canada. As noted in a press release, the studio will be led by industry veteran Patrik Méthé, but will also feature a group of veterans in leadership roles, including Benoit Frappier as producer, Frédéric Duroc as game director and Martin Paradis as CTO.
For the rest, it is said that this studio, which is simply called Krafton Montreal Studio, will aim to hire 150 people within three years, and as for the game on which the developer will work, it is noted that the first project will be the adaptation of the series of Korean fantasy novels, The Bird that Drinks Tears, Krafton’s secret project that we have already told you about, and which recently leaked some concept images.
“We are thrilled to open our first Canadian AAA studio in Montreal, one of the world’s premier cities for video game production,” said CH Kim, CEO of Krafton. “The local pool of creative and specialized talent is impressive, and we look forward to seeing more of them join our team.” Krafton Montreal Studio will be our third studio in North America and we have found a great leader in Patrik, who has extensive experience in taking franchises to new heights. »
No other information about the game has yet been revealed, but since the studio is still contracting, we probably shouldn’t expect this adaptation for a while.
