Report: Eidos Monreal to double staff by 2015

Eidos Montreal will double in staff by the year 2015, according to a La Presse Affaires report. The Montreal-based developer, which currently employs over 340, will add 350 employees within the next four years.

The plan, claims La Presse, is to create 100 jobs by the end of 2012, and another 250 by 2015. Square Enix began negotiating a deal early this year with the Onatario and British Columbian governments over creating a new studio, but opted to expand their Montreal studio instead.

Square Enix refused to comment on the validity of the report.

Eidos Montreal released Deus Ex: Human Revolution to positive reviews last week. We scored it an astounding 9 out of 10. The studio is currently developing Thief 4 and a brand new IP.

Thanks, VG247.
