From GameFocus:

Following last year’s announcements from THQ and Funcom, Warner Bros. Interactive is the latest videogame company to open a studio in La Belle Province.

Speaking in a press conference earlier this afternoon in downtown Montreal, GameFocus learned that Warner Bros.  Interactive’s current president Martin Tremblay will lead the new 300+ employee studio, which will be known as WB Games Montreal.

It is obvious that the new studio will take advantage of the great incentive program offered by the Québec government. Tremblay also said that Warner will open another studio in another city soon.

Tremblay, who used to work for Vivendi Games and Ubisoft Montréal prior to joining Warner, became Warner Interactive’s president in July 2008.

With Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Eidos, A2M, THQ and Funcom, the hunt for talented people has begun. Positions in Art, Game Design, Marketing, Community, Quality Assurance, Production, Audio and Engineering can be filled via the WB Games career website.

Update:

Martin Tremblay told us that the new Montreal studio will focus on creating games based on the DC Comics license.
