Hasbro to Relocate Global Games Business to RI

Hasbro announced yesterday that it will create a Center of Excellence for Hasbro Games in Rhode Island, and will move its marketing and games development employees from East Longmeadow, Massachusetts to Rhode Island. The move is expected to add about 70 jobs to the RI economy. More importantly, by relocating these employees to Rhode Island, Hasbro will be building on the efforts of 38studios, which relocated its game development business from Massachusetts to Rhode Island earlier this year.
