THQ has announced a multi-year agreement with Guillermo del Toro. The two parties will work together to create the inSane trilogy, developed by Volition and expected to come out in 2013.
“THQ is committed to creating great games by identifying the world’s most talented artists and providing them with the creative support to design innovative game play experiences,” said Bilson. “Guillermo is not only an incredibly gifted writer and film director, but also an avid gamer, and we are excited to bring his talents to our medium. We are confident his unique point of view will create visually stunning adventures, filled with rich and rewarding game play.”
Del Toro will serve as external creative director for the games, working with THQ Executive Vice President, Core Games Danny Bilson, THQ Director of Fiction Development Paul DeMeo and Volition on the game trilogy and any other transmedia projects . THQ will own the gaming IP for the inSane games, while del Toro will hold the rights to any filmed entertainment products.
“With this new series of video games, I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single action makes them question their own senses of morality and reality,” said del Toro. “THQ and Volition, Inc. are equally excited to make this vision of a completely new game universe into a reality.”
