The expansion requires a total investment of  C$454.1m (US$383.9m) on Ubisoft's part, some of which will come from tax credits. The Government of Qu?bec has already earmarked funds of up to C$19M.

In total, the studio wants to add 1,400 jobs at the studio over the next six years. The studio is already 1,600-strong and manager Yannis Mallat has previously told Develop that it will grow to 2,000 by 2010. The new target would make the studio the single largest development studio on the planet, ahead of EA Canada's base of around 1,800 developers.

The news comes 10 years after the studio first opened in 1997.
