Forums - Gaming - THQ has been revived, technically anyways

Nordic Games, who bought some of THQ's propitiataries like Darksiders, will go by the name THQ.

 This information comes from Nordic general manager Klemens Kruezer…

- Nordic has acquired the THQ copyright - Will be publishing games under the THQ name - This was negotiated outside of the 2013 bankruptcy auctions where Nordic acquired numerous parts of the THQ catalog including the Darksiders series

- Nordic can publish titles with the THQ branding “It was kind of surprise to some industry veterans and players that we were the winner of the auction of the THQ titles.

The challenging fact is nobody has ever heard about Nordic Games before [the THQ auction]. There were so many articles with the headlines ‘Who the f*** is Nordic Games?’ We said, okay they were right. We have seen an uplift in the name of Nordic Games, and what we have also done is we have made a second deal with THQ whereso many articles with the headlines ‘Who the f*** is Nordic Games?’ We said, okay they were right. We have seen an uplift in the name of Nordic Games, and what we have also done is we have made a second deal with THQ where we bought the THQ trademark.”

- Nordic currently has the credentials of the THQ Facebook page

“We are small team. The expectations from outside regarding the IPs of THQ are really high. We see it everyday on our Facebook sites. If we post something new to a project the first comments are, ‘Oh, nice. But what about Darksiders 3?’ This where we need some more patience from the fans, because we want to be able to do it right. The owner of Nordic Games has given [interviews] where he has said that he doesn’t want to make a s***y sequel.”

LOL, great paragraph!!!



Polygon is slowly becoming my favorite video game site, (along with kotaku)



Very professional interview, future looks bright, much hope.



Now we can say, "Who the fuck is this fake new THQ?"



Sounds like we have another Atari on our hands, company dies another company buys the name.
