At Square Enix Montreal, assistant director Patrick Naud has been handed leadership of the studio. When it was founded in November 2011, Square Enix Montreal was intended to increase the company's capacity for AAA projects, though plan now seems to be on hiatus. Instead, the studio will focus on creating smartphone and tablet games - first with the Hitman license, and with other brands in due course.
This move arrives in the wake of a huge staff reduction at IO Interactive, the studio responsible for creating the Hitman franchise. Square Enix has confirmed that IO is working on another AAA Hitman game.
