IO Interactive has opened a new studio in Brighton, England. It will work on the company’s James Bond game, its fantasy project, and Hitman
. “We are working a bit differently compared to other companies. They’re more like ‘this studio is working on this project’ or ‘this studio is doing some elements of this project’.
“Across our studios, our projects are front and centre. Which means anybody, regardless of what studio or country they’re working from, they can work criss-cross on different projects. It’s not like in Istanbul they’re on 007, and in Brighton they’re only doing Project Fantasy… they can all work on the different projects.
He added: “If one project, say, requires 400 people to work on it… putting 400 people in one location and saying ‘that’s what you do’, I don’t believe that’s the right way. I’ve been operating with this concept of a dunbar number, which is when you get more than 140/150 people locally… you lose that sense of belonging.
“I believe we are capable of thousands of people working on projects together, but I just want to avoid having that feeling of a factory, which can happen when you’ve got 500 people in the same place. This is part of keeping things dynamic and making sure our studios don’t overgrow. I would rather meet talent where they are, be a bit more diverse with different cities and different countries.
“When we get to the critical mass of people we need, I don’t expect any of these studios to have more than 100 to 150 people each.”
