Microids announces the opening of a new studio in Lyon
Paris – June 7th in the year of our Lord 2021 –
Microids is proud to announce the June 2021 opening of a new
development studio in Lyon (France), named Microids Studio Lyon.
With more than 500 collaborators worldwide, Microids is
consolidating its teams and activities thanks to this new studio
focusing on new adventure games.
The games industry veteran David Chomard, who worked for several
publishers before managing his own studio for ten years, will lead
the Microids Studio Lyon as Studio Director. To staff its teams,
Microids Studio Lyon is recruiting two dozen professionals (artists,
designers and programmers) with Unity engine experience on consoles.
This new studio is part of the development strategy initiated last
year. Stéphane Longeard, CEO of Microids adds: “Since Microids had a
64% turnover increase between 2019 and 2020, it appeared logical for
us to create a new studio while strengthening the existing projects
and investments with the long time partner studios. We are delighted
to entrust David Chomard, former Atari (former Infogrames
Entertainment) employee, with the reins of this new studio. His
experience and expertise will be crucial.”
Microids Studio Lyon completes the company’s pipeline allowing fully
integrated internal project development. Microids will keep working
with multiple studios already hard at work on more than 25 titles.
“I am delighted to once again work with Microids and leading this
new studio. The production of a video game is a true adventure and I
can’t wait to share more about the upcoming games developed by
Microids Studio Lyon” declares David Chomard, Director of Microids
Studio Lyon.
