Evolve is a studio or an IP? I've read that Koch Media wants Volition.

Evolve (Turtle Rock) is an unannounced title.

THQ has more unannounced titles: Atlas (Relic), Crawler (Vigil) and 1666 (THQ Montreal)

Thanks.

Given THQ's situation I think most of those titles should be marked vaporware until we get confirmation that they are still working on them. After all, whoever buys those studios may dislike the projects and cancel them.

Evolve should get released as it's been in development for several years already and THQ was just the publisher so the studio isn't for sale. The fact that Turtle Rock can say from the makers of Left 4 Dead should mean that their new next gen game should be an easy sell as publishers look to pad out their next gen catalogs for cheap.

1666 is from Patrice Désilets (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Rainbow Six 3, Assassin's Creed 1 & 2 and early Brotherhood) and whoever picks up THQ Montreal would be stupid not to pick up the game at the same time. I mean what could they be put the studio to work on that would have more sales potential than that, plus it's also been development for at least 2 years so is also likely over half done and is just waiting for next gen consoles to be anounced.

The eal question marks are Atlas and Crawler. Atlas is likely the F2P MOBA that they were rumoured to be working on, which could be a good fit for the new digital focused SEGA. Crawler is aparently a new FPS and is like still very early in development so I could see that getting dropped.
