Artisan Studios is setting up a development studio in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Canadian-based company plans to employ over 200 developers in its new offices, collaborating with local artists across the MENA region to develop new IPs.
The developer will expand into publishing its titles, in addition to developing what it says will be "the first AAA titles in the GCC region."
