Sledgehammer Games expands studio to new location in Toronto

Sledgehammer Games is continuing its massive expansion of studios with a new location opening.

The new studio location will be in Toronto, Canada per Activision President Rob Kostich.

Kostich confirmed during Activision’s Q1 investor call on May 4 that the Sledgehammer Games team continues to expand its team and reach.

The team is “stronger than ever”, says Kostich, and continues to expand “its talented team” substantially since 2017.

During the call, Kostich confirmed for the first time the studio is expanding to a new location of Toronto. This marks the first official mention of the Toronto studio for the company.

Sledgehammer Games now has studios in Foster City, California (their HQ), Melbourne, Australia, and now Toronto, CA.
