According to miHoYo, its Canadian office will employ over 100 people over the next two years. The company is now looking for talents in game design, engineering, project management, art, and other spheres.
Alongside other teams, the new office will focus on creating a “brand-new AAA open-world action-adventure game featuring shooting-based gameplay within a living, breathing paranormal world.”
As Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad
noted, this title has been in development for a while. It was first teased by NVIDIA in 2019 under the codename
Project X.
“Montréal is home to a thriving game development community and is well-known for its world-class universities,” miHoYo co-founder Forrest Liu said. “We deeply value the expertise and creativity that the local ecosystem provides and believe it will empower miHoYo to create games with their imagination.”
