Unity Technologies has announced the opening of a new Shanghai office. It will be led by Allen Foo, originally the director of business development at Microsoft. Unity has also signed deals with two Chinese companies which will provide 12,000 servers to meet the demand for the Unity Web Player, as well as handle distribution.
"We've been aggressively expanding Unity into Asia for over a year and opening offices in Shanghai is a big move for us to meet high demand in China," said Unity CEO David Helgason in a statement. "Partnerships with key Chinese internet firms, agreements with local software resellers, and opening of the China office are all part of a dedication to support the Chinese development community as intensely as we've supported it in the west."
Unity Technologies provides a game development tool, called Unity, which is the "development environment that gets out of your way, allowing you to focus on simply creating your game. Developing for web, mobile, or console? Unity is the tool for the job."
