Guerrilla Games is expanding its offices at the start of next year to speed up the game-making process.
Guerrilla is taking over five floors at its offices in Amsterdam, with the intention of making the location a permanent home for the studio.
In an interview with Het Parool, Guerrilla CEO Hermen Hulst explained that the studio has been looking to expand for three or four years, and that the move to the former Telegraaf building on the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwa in Amsterdam will allow the number of employees to grow from the current 250 to around 400 permanent employees.

Jurassic World Evolution Hits 1 Million Copies Sold
Jurassic World Evolution's combined physical and digital sales have hit one million copies sold over five weeks.
"We are really pleased with Jurassic World Evolution and are delighted to have crossed the 1 million unit threshold so quickly," said Frontier CEO David Braben.
"There is no doubt that initial sales have benefited from the worldwide awareness created by the film release, but it's the quality of the game that's really important and I believe our team have done a terrific job in creating a game that a wide range of players are now enjoying around the world".
The digital version of the game launched on June 12, followed by a retail release on July 3.
The game features voice talent from Jurassic World's Bryce Dallas Howard and BD Wong, reprising their roles as Claire Dearing and Dr. Henry Wu. Jeff Goldblum has also reprised his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm, saying that the game "gets 10 Goldblums out of a possible 10 Goldblums."
Annabelle 3 Will Be Like This Ben Stiller Movie
Gary Dauberman, screenwriter of the first two Annabelle movies and of IT, confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con on Wednesday that he will write and make his directorial debut on Annabelle 3. Producer James Wan also revealed that the new movie will be set inside the Warren home and likened it to the horror version of a certain Ben Stiller franchise.
Annabelle 3 will be set within the home of paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren and will see the titular doll liberate and bring to life the other cursed artifacts kept locked up in the Warrens' archive. The evil objects then target the Warrens' 10-year-old daughter Judy.
The Conjuring showed how the Warrens kept the possessed doll locked away in a glass case, while Annabelle and Annabelle: Creation both chronicled its origins before the Warrens captured it. (Check out this full breakdown of The Conjuring universe.)
IT 2: We Saw the Losers’ Club Reunite as Adults
The first footage from It: Chapter Two was shown at Comic-Con on Wednesday, a behind-the-scenes glimpse which provided fans with their fist look at the adult versions of the Losers' Club.
The second part of the blockbuster film adaptation of the Stephen King classic only started shooting a few weeks ago in Toronto so it was too early in the sequel’s production to show too much of what they’re working on.
A behind-the-scenes featurette anchored by director Andy Muschietti revealed James McAvoy as Bill, Jessica Chastain as Beverly, Bill Hader as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike, Jay Ryan as Ben, James Ransone as Eddie, and Andy Bean as Stanley.
There were on-set virgnettes of the actors filming various shots, as well as glimpses of Bill Skarsgård back as the monstrous demon clown Pennywise.

How Octopath Traveler Became Such a Big Hit
Aquaman and Shazam Costumes Displayed at Comic-Con 2018
Ahead of its movie panel this Saturday, Warner Bros. showed off costumes from its upcoming movies Aquaman and Shazam! on the showroom floor.
Punters can check out Zachary Levi and Asher Angel's adult and kid Shazam costumes, and Amber Heard's Mera costume and Jason Momoa's Arthur Curry costumes from Aquaman at DC's Comic-Con booth. Check 'em out in the slideshow below.
Without a Marvel presence at this year's Comic-Con, Warner Bros. is likely to have one of the biggest panels of the entire show. We'll definitely be getting an Aquaman trailer, and it’s a safe bet we’ll get more info on Wonder Woman 1984. Fingers crossed we'll see some Shazam! and some even IT: Chapter Two, too.
