Talking point: After opening an office in Quebec City in 2015, the company is looking to Montreal for talent, as gaming giants including Tencent and Amazon also announce expansion plans in the city. “Our investment in a new studio in Montreal creates an exciting new prospect for Montreal-based talent—whether they wish to work on existing Gearbox franchises, or help with the creation of new, original ideas,” said Gearbox’s founder, Randy Pitchford, in a release. Montréal International and Investissement Québec are both supporting Gearbox’s expansion, though the terms weren’t disclosed.
