Ubisoft Romania was founded in October 1992 and was the first production studio established by Ubisoft outside France.

History

Starting with only 4 programmers and 2 graphic artists, in time, the studio has grown to almost 400 specialists in different fields of activity, and is responsible for several critically acclaimed games such as Chessmaster 10th Edition, Silent Hunter 3, Silent Hunter 4, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of World War II and its sequel Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII and Rayman Raving Rabbits.

As of 1998, in addition to the production studio, the Bucharest subsidiary includes a marketing and sales department. This has allowed the company to become a leader in the Romanian multimedia market, distributing Ubisoft games and Guillemot products (PC and console accessories from Thrustmaster and hardware from Hercules). On July 15th 2008, Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., game developed by Ubisoft Romania. H.A.W.X. ("High Altitude Warfare eXperimental squadron") was released on March 6 2009 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and on March 17 for Microsoft Windows.

Other titles include: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Prince of Persia (source code only, rendered in Ubisoft Montreal)
