Stardock Expanding, Creating RPG Game

February 5th, 2009 Posted in Business

Thanks to the Michigan tax breaks, Stardock is planning a $900,000 expansion of its headquarters to accommodate development of a new roleplaying game. The studio is currently working on Demigod (due out next month) and fantasy-strategy game Elemental: War of Magic (due out next year).

The expansion will create around 53 jobs. This will increase the company’s workforce to over 100 employees.

Enacted last April, the Michigan tax breaks were made to attract jobs in the entertainment sector. It has mostly garnered attraction from Hollywood film studios, but the breaks also apply to game development.

“We think Michigan is well placed to become a hub for technology companies thanks to new programs from the state to make Michigan more competitive to do business in,” said Stardock CEO Brad Wardell. “We look forward to continuing our strong growth with additional development projects over the next couple of years.”
