Splinter Cell Studio Gets $500 Million Dollar Investment
Ubisoft’s new Toronto Studio will be expanding after a $500 million dollar investment by the video game company, and another $267 million dollars from the government of Ontario. Previously staffed at only 210 team members, this Toronto studio is expected to increase its size to 800 staffed employees.
This is great news for both Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six fans alike. Currently, the studio is hard at work at producing the next installments of the Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six franchises. Not much is known about either titles, other than a couple of rumors and leaks. After the increase in staff, we can only expect production will be sped up. With any luck, the world will get a glimpse at what’s going on in Ubisoft’s Toronto Studio at E3 2012.
Rainbow Six Patriots is currently set to release in 2013.
There is no word on the release date for the next Splinter Cell title.
