Eidos Montreal is a Canadian video game development studio owned by Square Enix Europe, a subsidiary of Square Enix. The studio was founded by Eidos Interactive in 2007 with Stéphane D'Astous appointed studio manager.[1] According to D'Astous, unlike other video game development studios, Eidos Montreal's development cycle is characterized by smaller teams (totaling 350 ) working over a longer period.[2] The same year as its founding, the studio announced its first project: the third installment of the Deus Ex series, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which was released in 2011.[3] In 2009, the studio announced its second project, the fourth installment of the Thief series.[4] On 4 March 2014, Square Enix announced that 27 employees were laid off from Eidos Montreal.[5]
