THQ Closes Homefront Dev

Kaos Studios shuttered. Homefront development shifted to Montreal.


THQ said today it has closed both its internal UK studio and Kaos Studios, makers of Homefront. Development of the franchise is being shifted to the publisher's Montreal studio.

This move was done as a "strategic realignment" of resources. Below is the statement in full from THQ:
THQ confirmed today that it has made a strategic realignment within its internal studio structure and is in the process of closing two locations: the company's UK studio and KAOS studio in New York. Both studios' employees have been informed.

THQ continues its strategy of aligning the best industry talent with the company's marquee franchises. The Montreal studio will take over product development and overall creative management for the Homefront franchise. The Montreal studio actively collaborated with KAOS on Homefront.

The company continues to strengthen its internal creative development expertise and is actively hiring in many of its internal studios, including Montreal and Vancouver, Canada, as well as Austin, Texas. THQ's UK studio and KAOS employees will have the opportunity to interview for open positions with the company globally.
