Wow looks like we wont be seeing much of Darksiders anytime soon....

Koch got Saints Row ....not sure if that is a good idea or not ;x.

Also question, since Darksiders is now well pretty much frozen IP, will this affect people who bought Darksiders DD wise or to those who are planning to buy it later?

Ugh now that I think about it...
Well they also have Dead Island and unlike Saints Row 2 and 3, Dead Island wasn't even released in Germany :P

Sega needs a new studios... Get these relic guys working on Streets of Rage and Vectorman.

If they do well, give them Shenmue 3 and put Suzuki in charge of the studio. :)

No bidders for Darksiders...what will happen to the franchise now? 

Was wondering that. May not have finished Darksiders II but its not a franchise that deserves to be left in limbo (pun was unintentional). 

To me, this auction list makes it even more surprising that THQ went bust. This isn't a bad collection of franchises. Still interested to see how Metro: Last Light and South Park: The Stick of Truth turn out. Also wondering if this company Koch decide to revive the Red Faction franchise. I know the last entry bombed they many be able to recreate its appeal.

Knew it was a dead-cert that Crytek would get Homefront (not Homeland), they have been developing Homefront 2 for the last year or so.

Well I think the Darksiders franchise is about as popular as Red Faction right now. IMO no one would have spend money for that either, but Koch Media basically got it for free with Saints Row :P

Why do you say that? Darksiders II was pretty good, it just didn't sell well.

So Relic are money makers not money losers right?

Just what I was thinking! In the right hands that could become a really great franchise!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Sony should pick up Darksiders.

Ubisoft paid $3.2 million for South Park: The Stick of Truth and $2.5 million for THQ Montreal.

Best deal ever.  South Park sales will probably repay Ubisoft investment alone.
