Nordic Games Licensing AB has picked up the majority of THQ’s older properties. The Swedish publisher paid $4.9 million for the Red Faction series, the MX series, the Darksiders series and also got the large collected lots that included smaller series like Frontlines, Destroy All Humans, Titan Quest, Juiced, The Outfit, and Summoner.
“First and foremost we are very happy about this deal which also turns over a new leaf for the entire Nordic Games Group. In the long term, we either want to cooperate with the original creators or best possible developers in order to work on sequels or additional content for these titles,” said Nordic Games CEO Lars Wingefors in a statement. “A very important point for us is not to dash into several self-financed multi-million dollar projects right away, but rather to continue our in-depth analysis of all titles and carefully selecting different financing models for developing new installments of acquired IPs.”
“Naturally we don’t have any sure plans for the future of the series, as we don’t even have a development team,” added Nordic business & product development director Reinhard Pollice. “So, for now we will be analyzing the situation and trying to figure out what’s the best option. One thing is sure: The tale of the four horsemen is not over!”
