FreeStyleGames continues to expand

B-Boy™ developer completes move to new offices and establishes multiple teams

April 2007. Leamington Spa, Warks, U.K. FreeStyleGames, one of the UK's most exciting new game development studios, has completed a major expansion, including a move to bespoke offices, significantly growing its development capacity.

Located in the centre of Leamington Spa the offices were re-fitted to reflect the studio's culture of fun and innovation, while cultivating a creative atmosphere. The new facility houses state of the art gaming zones, dedicated chill out rooms, and its own in-house cafeteria. The promising young team has increased in size steadily since the release of its critically acclaimed debut, B-Boy™, as it looks to develop new projects across both current and next-gen platforms.

Chris Lee, Commercial Director of FreeStyleGames commented, "It's an exciting time for the company, not only have we been able to design and develop our own environment from the ground-up, but we have created the capacity to house more staff and establish multiple teams. This growth will allow us to build on our progress on next generation, as well as continuing to support the PS2® & PSP™. While we're all excited about the results we're seeing on next-gen hardware, we're still committed to developing at least two more current generation products, as there's a lot of life left in the market so it doesn't make sense to ignore it."

Lee continued, "It's easy to jump to the next generation too soon - with multiple teams we can continue making fun, innovative games, while investing the time required to ensure a strong tool and engine for our new next-gen IP. The search for the initial ten new people will take some time as we're after the 'right' people. It's important to us to hire like-minded talent from both inside and outside the industry - as well as a passion for games, we're looking for fresh thinking and enthusiasm in addition to skill. We want people who want to make a contribution and have something to say."

The new offices are located at:

2nd Floor,
Imperial House,
Holly Walk,
Leamington Spa,
CV32 4JG
