More Ubisoft Talent Leaving For THQ
Former Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed star Patrice Désilets is already drawing talent away from his old employer.
In an interview with Joystiq, THQ's head of core games Danny Bilson said that the company was already working to bring over at least three unidentified developers from Ubisoft Montreal. "I don't think I can talk about the other three people we've already contracted because I wouldn't...I just know Patrice said, 'I need these three guys,' and I said, 'Okay! Whatever you need!'...I kind of know what their roles are, but they were the most important people to Patrice. All three of them are Ubi."
Désilets will head up THQ's Montreal studio, which doesn't official begin until May 29, so we eagerly await what he and his new team of old friends have in store.
