4J Studios opens new Edinburgh office

Scotland's 4J Studios has set up a brand new studio in the country's capital. 

The Scotsman reports that the Dundee-based company has opened a new office in Edinburgh which is focused on software and design. This new studio will be helping out with 4J's in-development Reforj, part of its Pioneer Program which allows players access to the title while it is in development. 

"The development of Reforj has been gathering pace for several months now and 20 years on from Chris and I launching the studio, this is as exhilarating a time as we can remember for the firm," 4J Studios CEO and co-founder Paddy Burns said. 

"The pioneer programme is really taking off and it’s fascinating to see how people are experiencing the game and to hear their feedback and be able to incorporate it as we go.

"We hope we can capitalise on that momentum and sense of energy by opening our first office in Edinburgh, which will give us even better access to the diverse pool of software and design talent that exists in and around the city."

4J Studios is best known for its console ports of Minecraft.
