THQ man Danny Bilson has announced that they have secured the services of three key members of the team at Montreal to join THQ's new Montreal studio.

The three new staff members were requested by the new creative boss at Montreal Patrice Desilets who work with them while he was at Ubisoft himself.

Bilson explained in a recent interview: "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!'. We put all of them on retention and got them started on their non-competes [non-compete clauses]. I kind of know what their roles are, but they were the most important people to Patrice. All three of them are Ubi."

Desilets joins THQ on May 29th once his non-complets clauses are finished with the three undisclosed staff fiollowing at once their non-complets are up.

Thanks Joystiq.
