Square-Enix Working On 'First Global Game' In Montreal

Square Enix is working with its Canadian studio, Eidos Montreal, to create the firm's first "global" game.

This is according to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada, who told the crowd at the Montreal Games Summit that Eidos Montreal is working on a third title, alongside Deus Ex 3 and Thief 4.

According to Wada, the title is to be "the first collaboration between Square Enix and Montreal" following the Japanese giant's buyout of Eidos.

"We would like to be able to create a new title that is made by the group as one," added Wada.

So far there are no details on the title for us or for the developers, as very few details are fixed in place.

Interestingly, this came about as part of a keynote talk about addressing the global market, with Wada stating that there is no true global market, and that Square Enix's Eidos takeover has created a variety of studios creating games for different audiences and markets.

Thanks to Develop for this.
