THQ to open Montreal studio

Another big publisher has made the move to open a dev base in subsidy-supported Quebec, Canada – with THQ the latest to establish a Montreal studio.

The new studio, called THQ Montreal, will open in mid-2010. The studio will make titles for the publisher’s Core Games division, plans to create 400 new jobs and expand to include all sorts of disciplines including design, engineering, art, content and technology development, quality assurance and localisation.

In fact, THQ says the studio will become the biggest studio in its network of dev teams that employs 1,200 already.
