THQ's Back Catalog To Be Sold Off "In The Coming Weeks"

Posted on Thursday, January 24 @ 12:00:03 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


A whole bunch of THQ's assets were sold off yesterday (see the full list here), but there are still several franchises that were not included in the auction. THQ president Jason Rubin has confirmed that the remaining IPs will be sold off in the near future.

“There will be a separate process to sell off the back catalog and IP. That process will take place in the coming weeks,” Rubin told Game Informer.

The franchises that still have yet to find a home include Destroy All Humans!, Red Faction, Homeworld, Darksiders, and de Blob. Where would you like to see each of these creative properties end up?

    Are these seen as less desirable than the IPs from yesterday? I don't understand why Homefront was included in the first batch. Darksiders has to sell for more than Homefront did.

    Destroy All Humans to anybody who will make a new one.

    Hopefully it goes to a studio that makes a good one, all the Destroy all Humans titles except the first were created as budget titles, and played like budget titles. The latest one is almost laughably bad.

    I didn't even know they continued after the second game. I'll never forget playing original on my oxm demo disc. I found the game too funny.

    Platinum would do an awesome job with the combat for sure!! But I would personally like to see Retro studios take a crack at it, I think they would be better at handling the Lore and exploration aspects

    AS I stated before, DICE seriously needs to grab Red Faction and take it back to it's FPS roots!!!

    This couldn't be more right. FPS with complete destructability has been missing from video games since the PS2 days.

    I still can not believe that Darksiders ended up not getting a new Publisher, but Homefront and Metro did, what a load of crap.

    I think Gearbox should buy DarkSiders. They can do fantasy RPGs and open world lootfests with 4 player coop. After playing DarkSiders 2 I was hoping for a sequel that let's you play any of the four horsemen.
