Online games developer, Red 5 Studios, has announced the establishment of their European Headquarters to be located in Cork, Ireland. This expansion will create thirty jobs in the region. Red 5 Ireland will be essential in bringing the company’s culture to Europe.

“I’m really happy to break new ground for Red 5 in Cork, Ireland. We see so many passionate European gamers in our forums and we want to support them with everything we can,” said Mark Kern, CEO/CCO of Red 5 Studios. “Red 5 Ireland will be like a start-up in many ways for us, and the local team we’re hiring will be essential in bringing the Red 5 culture to Europe and defining the European player experience.”

The European Headquarters will be wholly responsible for the European rollout of Firefall, Red 5′s free-to-play team based action shooter. Initially, the location will provide customer support, community management and localization for Firefall, which is currently in exclusive beta. It is due to be released later in 2012.

Recruitment for the Ireland-based offices is currently underway, with roles for Community Management, Localization, and Player Support teams. To learn more about the new operation, watch the following video and for more information, check out: http://www.red5studios.com/jobs.
