BioWare setups small Mass Effect 2 team in EA Montreal offices
BioWare est fière d'annoncer laddition dune nouvelle équipe de concepteurs de jeux à Montréal, Québec
Respected RPG makers BioWare gave word yesterday that they are congealing a crack game-making team in Montreal, to work on Mass Effect 2.
The new Montreal group will be a fairly small team of about twenty people or so. Montreal is a lovely city located in the province of Quebec, in Canada, where many French people live. BioWare's Mass Effect 2 Montreal team will be working in conjunction with the larger, pre-existing Mass Effect 2 team located in the cold, dreary cultural wasteland of Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
The Montreal Mass Effect'ers will be setting up shop in an office building belonging to Electronic Arts Montreal. Hopefully they will all get along really well, and make a worthy follow-up to the game that many people considered was the strongest RPG of the year.
Speaking to Gamasutra yesterday, Bioware co-founder Ray Muzyka said that he was looking forward to "working together with our friends at EA Montreal" and that he thought that EA had a "great studio here continuing full-force with a whole bunch of really cool, exciting things as well."

Apropos, Do you also speak Latin, Kevin?
The "bonjour" was mine though!
In Canadaland we learn French in school, so I can read it, but there aren't really any/many fine French-folks in Vancouver, so my skills are fairly well-rusted.
I'd draft a bona fide affidavit saying that Latin's time is well passed and filled with grammatical errata; ergo should be vanquished ex post facto.
