Ubisoft may be getting great pre-order numbers for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but they're gonna do all their celebrating without the first two games' original creative director. THQ have announced that they'll soon be welcoming Patrice Desilets into their family.

Desilets, who aside from being the creative director on Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 also did some work on the Prince of Persia franchise, will be joining a new THQ-owned development studio in Montreal next summer. The new studio will focus on creating new intellectual properties for THQ.

"The best way we can deliver fresh, high-quality gaming experiences is by working with the best talent. THQ is delighted to have the opportunity to make a brilliant addition to our team next year with Patrice Désilets," said Danny Bilson, THQ Executive Vice President of Core Games.

"We expect calendar 2011 to be a watershed year for THQ, and adding developers like Patrice helps ensure our focus on new IP and great games charted by leading industry artists."
