, by Thibaut
Not necessarily well known to the general public, Virtuos is basically a support and porting studio that has worked on several big games such as Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, Devil May Cry 5, The Outer Worlds and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Virtuos is now working alone on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, due for release in August. Rumor has it that the company is also developing a remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
With 23 studios around the world, Virtuos has decided to open new premises in South Korea. Sean Yoon, Managing Director of the new South Korean branch, issued the following statement on the matter.
"Gaming is deeply ingrained in Korean culture. As the world’s fourth-largest games market, South Korea has produced some of the world’s biggest hits and remains a top gaming hub."
"Establishing a physical studio in Seoul enables Virtuos to directly address the unique challenges faced by Korean studios, with the proximity facilitating closer co-development and collaboration. We look forward to helping bring more Korean games to the global stage and vice versa, unlocking new audiences for studios and new content for players alike."
Nowadays, Virtuos has some 4,000 employees around the world.
