Wasteland 2 developer InXile Entertainment has announced that it is opening a New Orleans studio.
The new studio is looking to hire 50 employees in the next five years with an average annual salary of $75,000. The studio is also expected to create 64 indirect jobs.
"Opening an office in Louisiana made a lot of sense considering they have the strongest incentive program in the US and allows us to tap into the East Coast talent pool," InXile Entertainment founder Brian Fargo told GamesIndustry.
"We are very excited to be opening InXile's first satellite office in the state of Louisiana. The people here have an amazing energy and friendly way that can only be understood when you visit. We're proud to be part of the first wave of companies that will help establish Louisiana as the next major high-tech center."
"Every year, colleges and universities in Louisiana graduate qualified candidates that would love nothing more than to work in the games industry. We are proud to be a part of a movement to keep those talented people in Louisiana."
InXile Entertainment was founded in 2002 and has developed over a dozen titles, including The Bard's Tale, Hunted: The Demon's Forge, and Wasteland 2.
