Hi-Rez Studios Opens new European Office in Brighton

Hi-Rez Studios have grown a great deal in recent years, mainly due to the overwhelming success of their MOBA SMITE. The popular game has become one of the most played e-sports in the world, turning the developer from new kids on the block in 2005 to one of the most well known and respected developers in 2016. With that growth, comes expansion in Europe, and the creation of a brand new head office in the seaside city of Brighton.

Veronique Lallier has been appointed as Vice President of European Publishing to build and lead the Brighton office. Lallier is the former Vice President of Digital Publishing at Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment International and has 15 years of experience in the gaming industry, with particular expertise in the European Online Gaming market.

“I am delighted to join the Hi-Rez team to help support and expand our European player base." Lallier said, “Hi-Rez has a unique and vibrant community in Europe -- as evidenced by the European victory at the 2016 Smite World Championship! I look forward to meeting and working with our passionate fan base here in Europe.”

The office will focus primarily on community management, localisation and marketing operations for Europe. Core development and operations will still be handled from Hi-Rez’s headquarters in Atlanta. The company are currently hiring for positions in the new office so be sure to check out their website if you fancy joining their team
