Mediatonic to double headcount with new office

Digital studio Mediatonic has moved into a new London office as it looks to double its headcount to more than 50 staff, it has revealed.

The developer has opened ten new positions, and throughout 2012 will be looking to hire for positions such as producers, 2D artists, analysts and server-side engineers.

“Moving into offices in the heart of Soho has given us the room to grow, with a view to doubling our headcount by Christmas to just over 50 employees,” said Mediatonic director of games Paul Croft.

“With the success of some of our recent projects we’re experiencing an overwhelming demand for original game designs and to provide support for live games once they hit the market.”

Mediatonic has developed titles such as Back to the Future: Blitz Through Time, The Fast and the Furious and Sonic Level Creator.
