The team at the newly opened IOI Brighton studio has hit the ground running since last July and is fully integrated into the development process of the projects currently underway at IO Interactive. Adhering to IOI’s philosophy of working on any project from any studio, the Brighton team has already joined working on Project 007, the first James Bond origin story; Project Fantasy, an online fantasy RPG; and HITMAN World of Assassination.
Building upon the core team already in place, IOI’s ambition for its Brighton studio is to expand over the next year and welcome new talent from the exciting UK development scene with 100 positions now open in various roles. IOI is thus carrying on its organic growth which has been building up for the last few years, with the independent developer and publisher looking to bolster its teams.
With now five studios up and running in Copenhagen, Malmö, Barcelona, Istanbul, and Brighton, IOI is gearing up to be in full force to deliver ambitious and innovative new IPs, after the great success brought about by the completion of the HITMAN trilogy.
