Avalanche Studios Expands to Montreal

Avalanche Studios Group is set to unveil its newest office in Montreal, Canada, marking the fifth location for the esteemed game development studio, alongside its existing sites in Stockholm, New York City, Malmö, and Liverpool. This Canadian expansion follows the acquisition of Monster Closet, a Montreal-based game developer. Founded in 2003, Avalanche has developed iconic titles such as the Just Cause series, Rage 2, and Ravenbound. According to Avalanche CEO Stefanía Halldórsdóttir, "As we celebrate Avalanche Studios Group's 20th anniversary in 2023, joining Montreal's vibrant game development community is an exciting step into our new chapter." This announcement comes on the heels of over 100 Avalanche staff members forming a union just a week prior.
