Montreal is really moving up on the gaming density. As of THQ’s latest announcement, the city will be home to yet another development studio. This won’t be just another studio, for the publisher, plans have it that it would be their biggest yet.

The new Montreal studio is expected to open about 400 new jobs in Quebec, with THQ Paradigm Entertainment head, Dave Gatchel, to oversee them all once the studio goes into operation mid-2010. According to THQ VP Steve DeCosta, it’s not simply because of the tax breaks – Montreal has a great talent pool that they wish to take advantage of. That’s what Ubisoft said about Toronto when they announced their new studio in the region.
