"King is a great company to work for – in fact we were recently named Sweden’s number one employer to work for in 2013 and number two in Spain in ‘Best Places to Work 2013’. We’re looking forward to welcoming the very best of Germany’s creative talent to join the new studio."
King’s HQ is based in the UK, but the company has numerous offices based around the world including in Spain, Romania and Sweden.
