The press release states the focus of the studio as, “online services and technologies.” IGN says that Ubisoft considers this to be a major driver in the “growth of the video game industry and intends to use Saguenay to build expertise around online functionality.” Job listings are already online on the official website for the studio, seeking experienced engineers, level artists, level designers, and people with experience on AAA titles.

Ubisoft has stated that Ubisoft Saguenay will create 125 new jobs within the next five years for the game industry, and intends to open a fifth studio in the same region to create a total of 1000 jobs with all studios combined.

The next major title by the publisher is Assassin’s Creed: Origins, releasing on Oct. 25, 2017 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Their next major release is in February 2018 for the highly anticipated Far Cry 5.
