Ubisoft Montreal Vet Clint Hocking Joins LucasArts

by Alice O'Connor, Aug 09, 2010 8:00am PDT

Former Ubisoft Montreal creative director Clint Hocking has joined LucasArts to serve as creative director on a mysterious unannounced project, GameSpot reports.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry 2, which Hocking was creative director on.

"We are pleased to announce that Clint Hocking has joined LucasArts as creative director on an unannounced project," LucasArts told the site.

In April 2010 Hocking resigned from Ubisoft Montreal, where he had worked on Far Cry 2, Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. "I am too comfortable. I am too content," Hocking explained on his blog. "And I know where that can lead for me."

  His resignation blog post made it sound like he had flipped out and was going to pull a Christopher McCandless. The guy is a little too hyped in my opinion but good luck to him.
