Probably a small satellite studio but we'll see.

I thought they already had a 3rd honestly. I remember seeing job listings for Playground in Stratford-Upon-Avon back in like 2019 or 2020, which is about 12 miles from Leamington Spa, where the other 2 studios are.

Honestly, should have opened a studio somewhere other than Leamington Spa though.

Like maybe in Lionhead's original location (Guildford).

3 studios in one location seems a bit much.

Does it really matter with most companies being able to use people around the world.  Most of those jobs probably going to be work from home so the location really not an issue as long as time difference isn't an issue.



From what I was reading the 3rd studio and the 2nd studio are both on the opposite side of Leamington Spa from the original 1st studio, and studio 2 and 3 are both Fable while studio 1 is all Forza now. So basically moving all Fable development to studio 2 and 3 will give them space in studio 1 (the largest of the 3 studios in terms of the space for employee workstations) to hire more Forza team devs, while the 3rd studio will give them space to hire more Fable team devs. I'm guessing studio 2 and 3 are both on the same side of Leamington Spa so there is less of a driving distance for Fable team leads to travel to see the progress that those in their division are making and to offer advice and input. Being able to physically travel between studio 2 and 3 quickly will make things easier for Fable team leads as opposed to having to oversee work of those under them via PC remote-control and Zoom meetings and such, if the 3rd studio had been opened in another UK city dozens or even hundreds of miles away.

Was this intended to be a late reference to Wall Guy?
