TKO officialy opens in Dublin

TKO, maker of the PlayStation ‘Medal of Honor’ game - now
primarily a PC and mobile games developer, have official opened their
offices in the government-funded ‘Digital Hub’ near Dublin city
center.

At first TKO’s Irish offices will focus on porting and localizing
their games for the European market, over the next five years they will
be looking to employ 40 people.

Recently Will Golby, general manager of TKO Software, talked to
Gamire.com about the possibility of developing original games in their
Irish outfit “The expansion into development is a certainty, but the
timeframe for this happening will be governed by the rate of uptake for
our games in Europe. Analysts predict that the wireless games industry
will be worth $6 billion by 2006, so we’re fairly confident that our
games will find customers fast”, he added “it’s great to be here”.

“We are delighted that TKO Software, has chosen The Digital Hub as
its preferred location” commented Mr Philip Flynn, Chief Executive
Officer of the Digital Hub “I believe today’s announcement is very
significant in that it places The Digital Hub at the centre of the
growth in the Irish games industry. It shows that the international
games enterprise cluster being created here has already reached a point
where it is a magnet for international investment”.

Assurance Manager, and a Wireless Programmer, visit their website for
