Alongside revealing its new state-of-the-art development facility, branding and core
values commitment to further establish its identity, the studio also announced plans
to expand its presence internationally, beginning with a European location based in
Spain. 
“31 st  Union is off to an incredible start with a passionate and talented team, an
intentioned culture that champions inclusivity and greater representation, and an
ambitious and inspired new IP that we’re extremely excited about,” said Michael
Condrey, President at 31 st  Union. “Our name and studio represent the spirit of
California in its rich diversity of thought, art, music, innovation and cultural
representation that have defined the current golden age of entertainment and
technology here in Silicon Valley. In revealing our new identity and announcing the
expansion of our operations, we’re shifting into an exciting next phase of growth to
include more voices and bring our vision to life around the globe.” 
“We’re creating a development environment focused on a single new IP where passion
is at the center of it all,” said Tyler Michaud, Head of Strategy at 31 st  Union.
“We believe diverse perspectives and experiences are crucial to creating a truly
global entertainment experience with a deep connection to passionate fans.” 
31 st  Union will be the fourth 2K-owned game development studio with multiple

locations in Novato, Calif. and Montreal, Quebec, while in June 2018, Hangar 13

Czech Republic and Novato. In addition, Visual Concepts currently maintains offices

internationally,” said David Ismailer, President of 2K. “We’ve seen the benefits of
this approach across 2K, from broadening recruitment efforts and attracting the best
talent to having more diverse perspectives contributing to the creative process.

look forward to sharing more about its new IP in time.”
