Warner Bros. has selected Montreal, Canada as home for its newest gaming studio, one that will work—at least partly—on churning out titles from WB subsidiary DC Comics.
Quebec will be the recipient of a $7.5 million grant from [URL=http://www.investquebec.com]Investissement Quebec[/URL] and Warner Bros will benefit from the province’s standard 37.5 percent tax-break on all jobs, [URL=http://www.montrealgazette.com/life/Warner+Bros+open+gaming+studio+Montreal/2712529/story.html]according to the Montreal Gazette[/URL]. The studio will set up shop in an as-of-yet-undetermined part of the city. Warner Bros. said the studio would create 300 jobs by 2015, and indeed [URL=https://careers.timewarner.com/1033/ASP/TG/cim_searchresults.asp?Function=LinkQuery&LinkId=410]a small variety of positions[/URL] are already listed on the WB career page.
