Developer Hothead Games has opened a new studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The new studio has a team of 25, which brings Hothead Games' total headcount to 130.
"With our success on mobile and our heavy emphasis on the games as a service model, we have been hiring aggressively recently in all areas of the business, from game design and production to marketing, analytics and customer support. The team that we assembled in Halifax is really impressive," Hothead's Vlad Ceraldi told GamesIndustry. "We've already given them a lot of freedom and ownership over their projects. Currently they are focused on our first person shooter game, Kill Shot."
"They are working on some new technologies for the franchise, which will ensure the game stays relevant and engaging for new players as well people that have been playing the game since it launched a year ago."
Producer Chris Pink added: "Not only is it exciting to be working as part of a successful mobile games team on a global stage, but it gives us great pleasure to represent Halifax and the east coast of Canada, with its growing technology and games sector."
