PARIS, France – March 6, 2023 – Our award-winning audio production and localization specialist team today bolstered its international presence by openingour latest studio, Side Paris. Joining studios in London, Shanghai, and Los Angeles, the Paris location will support the local and international games industry with native French localization and audio services. Side Paris will be led by Maxime Romano, who also serves as Head of Localization.

“Our Audio team is an integral part of the family, and expanding our global footprint into key markets like France is essential to our long-term growth strategy for the business,” said Deborah Kirkham, Chief Executive Officer of Side. “The strength of the French development scene and the steady demand for French language localization made this an easy decision – we can now provide our customers with a strong, local solution for their audio and localization needs.”
