Canadian news site La Presse Affaires is claiming Eidos Montreal will increase its staff to 350 people by 2015, with 100 of them by next year. If this is true, Eidos would be the third largest developer in the Quebec city, behind Ubisoft Montreal and EA Montreal.
The rumor steams from Square-Enix’s negotiations of a deal with the province of Quebec, as well as British Columbia and Ontario. However, the Japanese corporation has not confirmed anything as of yet.
Square-Enix purchased Eidos a few years ago to expand its catalog and deal with the shrinking profitability of the Japanese videogame market.
