Game developer moves to Wihlborgs property in central Malmö
Game developer IO Interactive, currently working on a new James Band game, has signed an agreement with Wihlborgs for 1,800 square metres in the Erik Menved 37 property on Östergatan 20 in Malmö.
IO Interactive currently has offices in Copenhagen, Barcelona and Malmö. Since early 2019, IOI Malmö has developed games like Hitman 2 and 3, and is now working on the new James Bond game Project 007. The company was nominated for the “Greater Copenhagen Award” at the 2022 Malmö Näringslivsgala.

“The video games industry in Malmö has grown tremendously. IOI Malmö has been a part of this exciting development since we opened our first office in Game Habitat DevHub at the end of 2018. We are excited to work with Wihlborgs to establish a new home for IOI Malmö with enough space and great facilities for our growing team of talented developers,” says Martin Buhl Svanum, Chief Operating Officer at IO Interactive.
