Eidos Montréal is a Canadian video game developer based in Montreal, Quebec. The studio is owned by Square Enix Europe (formerly Eidos Interactive), a subsidiary of Square Enix.
History[]
The studio was founded by Eidos Interactive (later renamed Square Enix Europe) in 2007, with Stéphane D'Astous appointed general manager.[1] According to D'Astous, unlike other video game development studios, Eidos Montréal's development cycle is characterized by smaller teams (totalling 350) working over a longer period.[2] The same year as its founding, the studio announced its first project: the third installment of the Deus Ex series, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which was released in 2011.[3] In 2009, the studio announced its second project, the fourth installment of the Thief series.[4] On 4 March 2014, Square Enix announced that 27 employees were laid off from Eidos Montréal.[5] Stéphane D'Astous resigned from Eidos Montréal on 19 July 2013, citing irreconcilable differences with parent company Square Enix.[6]
On January 26, 2017, Eidos Montréal announced a partnership with Marvel Entertainment to create multiple video games based on the Avengers franchise.[7] As of May 2018, the studio has over 500 employees.[8]
