THQ's manager, Danny Bilson, confirmed that the publisher could close the New York office of Kaos Studios, a developer of Homefront, to transfer the staff in the new studio in Montreal. According to a report from Develop, THQ was going to close the studio in New York after the launch of Homefront in order to reduce costs by moving the team's activities in Canada.
"I have enormous respect for the guys who are building this game," says Bilson. "I told them that the success of Homefront will impact on our future strategy. Therefore, when we have not yet taken any decision. We'll see how things go, we will not transfer persons without a valid reason." According to Bilson, Homefront has already seen record bookings for THQ, with 200,000 copies already booked in the United States.
The game will be available from 11 March on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The new study, THQ Montreal will employ 400 employees and will be led by creative director of Assassin's Creed, Patrice Desilets. "I honestly do not know what is going to do but I know that has an idea for his new project," says Bilson.
"The truth is that from a legal standpoint I do not know (because dell'acordo with Ubisoft that will expire in the summer) but I trust his talent."
