To date, the studio has over 400 employees, including nearly 150 who have been hired since last year. Beenox’s arrival in Montreal will allow the studio to ramp up the pace of its ongoing development projects for the Call of Duty franchise.
The Beenox team has been actively supporting Activision’s flagship series for several years, most recently creating new content for each new season of Call of Duty: Warzone and collaborating on the development of a new mobile experience in Call of Duty: Warzone Duty.
“We want this studio to attract new talent locally and internationally, in addition to contributing to the development of Montreal’s ecosystem,” said Nour Polloni, Studio Director at Beenox. This new Montreal studio will allow us to enrich our areas of expertise and expand our creative engine. Our priority will be to find a space conducive to inspiration and the creation of new ideas, but also to collaboration, learning and building strong relationships within our teams.”
Beenox has about fifty new employees in the greater Montreal area and the team is currently hiring. Programming, design, art and mobile team positions are now open and ready for new applications.
The location of the new premises will be announced in a few months. Visit the Beenox website to view Montreal expansion job openings.
