With this acquisition, People Can Fly now has more than 320 employees in seven locations around the world. People Can Fly Chicago was their third location in North America.
Justin Corcoran, CEO of Phosphor Studios (People Can Fly Chicago), said, “A new chapter is opening up for our team. We are thrilled to be joining People Can Fly to open the brand new AAA studio People Can Fly Chicago. Our goal is to strengthen People Can Fly’s presence in the United States and to help People Can Fly become a global brand,” he said.
