Kuju opens its first non-UK studio in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Kuju America is the newest
addition to Kuju's existing 5 game development studios and the first to be
located outside of the UK. San Francisco has been chosen as the location
because of the thriving video games industry and huge pool of development
talent in the area. Led by industry veteran John Kavanagh, the studio will
initially focus on the rapidly growing casual games sector.
Jonathan Newth, Corporate Development Officer of Kuju Entertainment,
commented, "This is an exciting and significant step for the Kuju group of
studios. The US, and San Francisco in particular, is a natural choice for
our first non-UK studio. It's a hotbed of development talent, home to many
leading publishers and some of the leading US games press. We're delighted
to have John on board, with his wealth of experience and contacts, to
maximize the potential of the business in the area."
Kuju America has already begun work on its first title. For more

John Kavanagh, Studio Head for Kuju America, added, "It's great to be
working with Kuju to start this new enterprise. I've known Kuju and the
management team for many years and I really approve of their model of
multiple autonomous studios. I'm looking forward to making Kuju America the
next successful Kuju studio."
Kuju America will be attending the forthcoming GDC in San Francisco
from 18th-22nd February. For an appointment please contact:
