Artisan Studios opens game studio in Saudi Arabia

Artisan Studios, an independent game developer with a reputation for creating premium role-playing games, plans to open a game development studio in Saudi Arabia.

The offices in Riyadh are expected to employ over 200 people who will work on triple-A console games. The Quebec City-based company said it made history by entering into an agreement with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Investment (MISA) to establish the largest foreign-owned game development studios in the kingdom.
