THQ is no more. After the video game publisher filed for bankruptcy in December, gamers and industry analysts alike began speculating where the company's assets would end up and which would fall as casualties of its dissolution. Now that the dust has settled, we now know, courtesy of Giant Bomb.
Saint's Row developer Volition, one of THQ's most valuable assets, was scooped up by Koch Media for $22.3M alongside the Metro series for $5.8M.
Relic Entertainment, the talented developer of the beloved Company of Heroes franchise, now belongs to Sega thanks to a generous $26M investment.
The fresh first person shooter franchise Homefront has found a home at Crytek for $500k. The hotly anticipated South Park: The Stick of Truth was acquired by Ubisoft for $3.2M, who also pulled in THQ's Montreal Studio.
Evolved, the new co-op shooter from Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock Studios was picked up by Take-Two Interactive for $11M.
Unfortunately, the studio behind Darksiders, known as Vigil Games, was looked over in the feeding frenzy. While there is still hope that the imaginative IP will find a home, don't hold your breath.
