Former Assassin's Creed creative director heads new IP for THQ |
Listed in: News Tags: news, Patrice Desilets, THQ, Ubisoft
Fresh from his yearlong break from the industry, renowned game developer Patrice Desilets has now officially joined the THQ stable as a creative director, working out of its Montreal, Quebec development studio "on a yet to be created title."
"The creative freedom that THQ gives its artists and developers--and their willingness to make games that truly reflect an artistic vision--really drew me to THQ," said Désilets. "I plan to build an incredibly talented team at THQ, and am very anxious to get started on creating a new project."
"Working with the top talent in the industry is one of THQ's key strategies for creating bold, original, and high-quality games," said Danny Bilson, THQ's Executive Vice President of Core Games. "Patrice Désilets is one of the most innovative minds in games, and has proven it by leading the teams behind some of the most influential games of the past and current consoles. Needless to say, THQ can't wait to unleash his talent."
Desilets left Ubisoft a year ago after taking a “creative break from the industry.” Last October, THQ announced that they have signed up the famed developer to head a new studio.

Such harsh words have not been said. THQ hasn't even made any of its games, it's a publisher. Homefront was not as it should have been. It's also a generic thing to say with no backup.
