2 decades of history for Frima

Quebec City, February 9th 2023

Yes, you read that right! Our magnificent studio is celebrating its 20th anniversary today. It was in an apartment with frosted windows and doors, in the St-Roch district of Quebec City, that the creators decided to launch this adventure that has now lasted two decades.

When Frima was launched in 2003, Christian Daigle, president and founder, could not have predicted that the studio would be so successful 20 years later:

“I was coming out of several years as a self-employed person. I wanted to work in a team and discover the video game industry. We were ambitious, we told ourselves we could be proud if we built a studio of 15 people.”

Today, Frima has nearly 200 employees across Quebec.

“I couldn’t even imagine what we would be like in 20 years. In fact, I couldn’t even imagine that we would still be around in 20 years… We’ve seen many other studios spring up and close down around us during this period. There are only a few independent studios in Quebec that are 20 years old or more,” he adds.

The video game industry has changed dramatically over the years and Frima has adapted nimbly by continually pushing its limits and being bold and creative. The different chapters of the small Quebec company have been written over the years, bringing it to the internationally renowned studio it is today.

Today, Frima relies on its bold creativity and strong business intelligence skills to develop exciting multiplatform games in a variety of genres, with a focus on long-term player engagement.

We’ve come a long way in developing unparalleled expertise, and we look forward to the next 20 years with confidence and enthusiasm, and with the best talent around.
