Creative Assembly (CA) announced the opening of a new British studio in Horsham, West Sussex. Total War developer notes that since last year the number of employees of the company has grown by more than 20% and now it is the largest British game developer – it employs about 800 people.

Creative Assembly said the new expansion is intended to ensure the company’s continued growth. The entire Creative Assembly team is currently working remotely due to quarantine measures against COVID-19, and the company said that in the future it will continue to actively combine face-to-face work in offices with remote work.

The opening of the new studio increases CA’s total workspace to more than 9,000 m2. It includes three UK studios, a specialized motion capture studio and the CA Sofia office in Bulgaria. Along with the opening of the third UK studio, CA has relocated and improved its motion capture facility and renovated the interior space of all UK offices, focusing on a collaborative work environment and supporting more flexible work plans in the future.
