Konami Moving European HQ to the UK
Japanese developer and publisher Konami are set to move their European HQ from Germany to the UK.
It’s been a good few weeks for the UK games industry with Mircosoft opening a new London based studio; Konami themselves also announced they are to open a PES studio in the capital.
The move comes as Konami look to restructure their European operations, merging Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH with Konami Digital Entertainment B.V.
Konami’s Digital Entertainment GmbH President, Shinji Hirano:
These are changes to match a very exciting and challenging time for video game publishers. We want to show our commitment to the consumers in each territory by establishing close relationships that deliver what they particularly want and need, and to create rapport between us that benefits both sides.
Konami’s four European offices in France, Germany Spain, and the UK will continue to operate as normal. Although the HQ is leaving Germany, the company will still have a large presence in the country.
