In November 2020, Wargaming announced plans to open a new development studio in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Now the details have become known, and the official opening of the office took place this month.
On April 9, 2021, the new Wargaming office was officially opened in Vilnius. The Lithuanian branch will continue to strengthen the company’s distributed development model, which currently operates throughout Central and Eastern Europe, and will also act as a publisher. The new office is located in a modern business district located in the city center and will focus on both current and future projects. Located in a fast-growing area of the capital, the stylish studio will become a new place of work for several hundred employees over the next 3-4 years.
Following the announcement of the opening of a new office, MS-1, the leading mobile app development studio of Wargaming, which created the popular game World of Tanks Blitz, is looking for talent for the new branch of the company. For MS-1 (WG subdivision) Vilnius will become another key point, along with the already existing offices in Minsk and Moscow. While the flagship cross-platform shooter World of Tanks Blitz has been downloaded over 140 million times worldwide, MS-1 continues to create games for mobile and handheld devices, with two as yet unannounced games in development.
The studio is headed by game industry veteran Thaine Lyman, who has been with the company since 2015. Prior to that Thaine spent over 17 years at Activision as an Executive Producer for the Call of Duty series on consoles and PCs, and Vice President for Destiny and Marvel Licensed Games.
