Founded in 2007 by the original founders of Treyarch, The Workshop has a track record of strong engineering, production, art, design and audio services. We believe small, focused, close-knit teams can move mountains. We stay intentionally lean across-the-board: in our office space, management structure, and agile team production techniques. While we have 60+ staff spread across multiple projects, we’re prepared to leverage robust outsourcing pipelines that more than triple our internal capacity.
