Virtuos-Owned Subsidiary Glass Egg Has Announced A New Studio In Dalat Vietnam

Virtuos-owned Studio Glass Egg has announced the launch of its new 2D and 3D art production studio located in Dalat, Vietnam.

This announcement follows Glass Egg’s acquisition by Virtuos in May 2022 and marks the opening of its second studio in Vietnam. Alongside Sparx and Glass Egg studios in Ho Chi Minh City, the new Dalat studio supports Virtuos’ goal of becoming the largest game developer in Vietnam with 1,500 employees by the end of 2024.

The Glass Egg Dalat studio will be managed by Deputy CEO, Nam Nguyen, and Head of Production Thuy Le. Nam was also one of the founding members of Glass Egg when it was established in 1999.

“Dalat is a picturesque city well-known to be an incubator of Vietnamese artists, and for its thriving arts and culture ecosystem.” Says Nam Nguyen. “As one of the first AAA game art studios locally, we are excited to train and provide job opportunities to homegrown talent who are looking to work on the best games with us.”

“With the launch of Glass Egg’s second studio in Vietnam, Virtuos is well-positioned to be a key contributor to both the country and Asia’s growth as game development hubs”. Says, Thuy Le. “The region is rich with talent and we remain committed to training and providing them opportunities to work on the best games, and supporting our partners worldwide”.

The Dalat studio will specialize in character and environment art. This complements its Ho Chi Minh City studio’s expertise in hard surface modeling and production of 3D vehicles for AAA titles including Need for Speed Unbound and Forza Horizon 5. Glass Egg says they aim to grow the Dalat team to 50 employees made up of homegrown Vietnamese talent by the end of 2023.
