According to recently-released research by Secor Consulting for ESAC, over the past 2 years the video game industry in Canada has grown by 11% and now currently employs approximately 16,000 people across the country at nearly 350 companies, making Canada’s the third largest video game industry in the world. The industry is projected to grow at 17% over the next two years.

- Assassin’s Creed: Revelations (Ubisoft)
