Gearbox, the studio behind Borderlands, has opened a new studio in Quebec, Canada. They will be tasked with creating an as of yet unannounced AAA title.
This will be the first new studio for the company outside of Texas in the last 16 years. It will be co-headed by Sebastien Caisse and Pierre Andre Dery. Sebastien has a pedigree of working with Microsoft and Sony, while Pierre served as the art director for Activision’s Skylanders series.
Sebastien is of the belief that the studio they are building from the ground up is truly unique, and will be putting out games that make a big splash in the industry. He wants to “enhance Gearbox’s ability to entertain the world with best-selling, larger-than-life experiences.” It will be exciting to see what the company puts out, and hopefully we hear an official announcement regarding their upcoming project in the near future.
