WITCHER Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) GRIN, known for developing the PC versions of Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, announced that it is opening a new studio in Gothenburg, Sweden early 2008, to work on a yet un-announced triple A sci-fi title. Currently working on Bionic Commando for Capcom, GRIN has satellite offices in Spain, Jakarta, and Japan. â€Our ambition is to be better, faster and more fun to work with than other developers and we want to spread that ambition to the Gothenburg region. We’ve had a very successful year and our goal is to continue the success with the opening of a new a studio in Gothenburg.†said Bo Andersson, CEO GRIN. GRIN Gothenburg is located in the heart of the city with 700 square meters of top modern office space. When we open the doors on the 7th of January 2008 most of the team will consist of true veterans from the games industry that either come from the region or have moved in to join the ambitious project. GRIN will be hiring throughout the winter and spring. â€Gothenburg has a long tradition of games development but has been missing a really established development house in recent years. With GRIN’s bold move we will be reinstating Gothenburg as a high profile development region.†said Peter Björklund, Lead Gameplay Programmer, GRIN Gothenburg.

Whisper_44 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I didn't realize it was their job to tell us.., oh wait, maybe that's where I heard it? Have you not seen the threads here discussing 1.5 being tested? Maybe you missed that on the home page (posted 12/1)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR6 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 GRIN has satellite offices in Spain, Jakarta, and Japan I heard about the one in Spain, but Indonesia and Japan? Wow. Not easy for a foreign developer to set up shop in Japan ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIN_Wolfsong Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 So GRIN have moved on, who's testing that patch ? The UBI Romanian office has done all the main QA work on GRAW2. Grin has only a few QA personnel in house, but with the Jakarta QA office Grin will have more QA capabilities then before. GRIN has satellite offices in Spain, Jakarta, and Japan I heard about the one in Spain, but Indonesia and Japan? Wow. Not easy for a foreign developer to set up shop in Japan ... There is no Grin Japan. That would be Capcom which Grin are working with right now on bionic Commando... not quite big enough to buy them out... yet. The offices are: Grin Stockholm Grin Barcelona (or Grin Spain) Grin Jakarta (or Grin Indonesia) Grin Gothenburg (soon...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
