Eidos Montreal is a Canadian video game development studio owned by Eidos Interactive, a subsidiary of Square Enix. The studio was founded by Eidos 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 people) 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]
